Posted May 23, 201113 yr I bought an 82 Yamaha xs400 maxim(I'm honestly not sure how the 400's work.. there seems to be a dozen variations). Went and saw it friday, rode it about 10 miles or so and fell in love. Checked over the bike and everything seemed good.. no real leaks anywhere, just some chain oil kicked up. Starts great and rides even better. Best part is that it was 1200$ :) Since having it home I've looked it over closer and the front fork seals need replacing and the tires don't have too much left on them. Also its a terrible rattle can everywhere and it needs a panel for some exposed electronics. Going to see about ebaying that part and then I am debating sanding down the parts and rattle canning on some white paint. Pics! When I got her home: Strapped up and heading back home after I picked it up. And I just like this one:
