Yamaha Maxim 1100 Motorcycle - Street (1982)

The 1982 Yamaha Maxim 1100, also known as the XJ 1100 Maxim, was a standard motorcycle produced for a limited time, primarily for the US market. It was powered by a robust 1,101 cm³ (1.1L) four-stroke, four-cylinder, air-cooled engine with DOHC and two valves per cylinder, fed by four 34mm Mikuni carburetors. This engine delivered 95 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 65 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm. The Maxim 1100 superseded the earlier XS Eleven models, sharing the same engine platform. For the 1982 model year, the Yamaha XJ 1100 was offered as a single model under the "Maxim" designation, with no distinct trims. Given its short production run as a distinct model (1982-1983), there were no mid-cycle generation or engine changes within the 1982 model year itself. FAQ:
