CapriPM69 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hello, I'm new to the forum and have a question about gas tanks. I own a 1981 Maxim 550 (XJ550) and am looking for a replacement tank. I have come across several from other Maxim models (XJ650, XJ1100, etc...). I would like to know what tanks are direct fits for my bike. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Moderator YamaHead Posted January 8, 2007 Moderator Share Posted January 8, 2007 to the forum Paul I used to have an '83 750 Maxim.....& I believe the 650's tank should fit? But to be sure.....take a tape measure to the distance between the center of the front rubber mounts & the rear mount. Then use that distance when hunting down another tank from salvage yards & such places. Hope this helps-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapriPM69 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try once I remove the tank. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
