Vehicle Information
Yamaha Maxim 700 Motorcycle - Street (1985-1986)
The Yamaha Maxim 700, produced from 1985 to 1986, was a popular cruiser motorcycle offering a versatile riding experience. During these years, two primary versions were available: the XJ700 Maxim and the XJ700X Maxim-X. Although sharing the same name and a 697.3 cc displacement, these models featured significant technical differences. The standard XJ700 Maxim was equipped with an air-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine with 2 valves per cylinder. In contrast, the XJ700X Maxim-X, a more advanced version, utilized a liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine with 5 valves per cylinder, derived from the FZ750 engine. This major distinction, particularly the cooling system and valve count, represents the primary generation or platform break between the models of this period. The XJ700X version was specifically adapted for the US market with a reduced stroke to 700 cc to comply with import tariffs at the time. Minor cosmetic differences existed between the 1985 and 1986 Maxim-X models, such as the color of the side case covers, but core engine components remained largely interchangeable. FAQ:
