About the Yamaha Maxim 700
The Yamaha Maxim 700 is the American cruiser version of the mid-1980s XJ700 four-cylinder. Its air-cooled shaft-drive engine, low seat and straightforward steel chassis suit relaxed riding rather than modern sporting performance. It is an interesting classic when shaft drive, carburettors and electrics have documented maintenance.
Check a Maxim 700 for cold starting, four balanced carburettors and correct charging voltage. Also inspect shaft oil, swingarm play, brakes and corrosion on frame and exhaust. Its low stance can hide damage to footrests and exhausts. A cared-for example is a robust cruiser classic; on neglected bikes, carburettor and electrical work can cost more than the purchase price.
