The Yamaha XJ 750 is an air-cooled four-cylinder machine from the early 1980s, built as a fast all-rounder and sporting tourer. Its 748 cc DOHC engine produces about 82 hp through a five-speed gearbox and low-maintenance shaft drive. Depending on market and version it appeared as a naked XJ, Seca or touring model, with differences in fairing, handlebars and braking equipment.
The XJ 750 is robust, but age now determines condition. Check carburettors, tank, intake rubbers, valve clearances and cam chain. The charging system, starter clutch, final-drive oil and brakes also need attention. An advertised XJ700 Maxim is a different North American variant and must not be treated as an XJ750 merely because of its category. Verify frame number and actual displacement. The selected Commons image shows an exact Yamaha XJ 750 Seca.
