Its time for me to sell my 1st bike. its an 82 maxim 750 with just over 20,100 miles on it. I'm the 2nd owner of this bike, and have had it since it hit 2,349mi.

Pros:
Starter recently rebuilt
Good tread on rear tire
Psychotic frequent oil changes every 2K miles - always changed with mobil 1 (previous owner ran royal purpel)
New sets of spark plugs every year
New fork seals
New Battery
Always ran 93oct or higher in it
Seat is clean, as well as frame
Everything works including the auxilary light
New air filter

Cons:
Right foot peg bent from an accident with previous owner
Coils need replaced - had to put RTV on the wires to keep from getting zapped
Never has had the valves reshimmed or changed or whatever these bikes need
Valve cover is starting to seep (although if you're changing the shims this'll get changed as well)
Paint is fadeing on tank - could use a repaint
No backrest
Peckock doesnt always like to adjust right - will prolly need replaced.
Previous owner tried repainting the exhaust manifold, doesnt look half bad

I've got the bike for sale locally for 1200, so 'll put it on the board for 1000. For what I've got into it and the fact its a running/riding bike I think thats fair?
pics to follow, just shoot me a call/text any time if interested. five-seven-four-849-one-seven-3-9 Thanks! -Ben

That's a very nice bike and looks exactly like one I owned many years ago and would love to have another but the distance is a bit too much for me plus getting it across the border but good luck with the sale. Dan

I been looking for an XJ100 for awhile. Your description had me until I read 750. The 11s were only 82
