Sorry , should have mentioned that. 82 xs650 maxim. Gold emblem like your black bike you have pictured.
Fiancé doesn’t know about the bike and I will be the one wrenching on it, so my membership is sufficient.

XJBikes.com is a very useful forum for your XJ650 Maxim. I don’t know if XS650 badges are the same or not. Badge Replicas in Oz might list them and show what size they are.

Badgereplicas.com.au is the url

Thank you I will check that out. It doesn’t have to be exact as long as it covers the indent in the tank where the emblem sits.

It helps to have the screw holes line up.

It does but if we find a “Yamaha” emblem that adheres with 2 sided tape and covers the indent and screw holes that will,work as well

Measure the tanks mounting holes spacing and post the results.

So is it an XS650 or an XJ650??

As indicated in post #3 it’s an xs650. However from what I’ve seen the badge looks the same between the xs and xj (gold “Yamaha” badge with offset screw holes in the badge.

Post 3 says it's an XS650 MAXIM. Asking clarification seems prudent.

My apologies. We were told it was an xs650 but it is an inline 4cyl. With maxim badging. So does that make it an xj not an xs? Sorry for any confusion. Was just going by what we were told. I’m a Harley guy. My son bought this.

 

[gggGary]

It's an XJ650 Maxim.

PS those are known good motors.
That bike looks to be in good shape.
If it has issues with how it runs, find some decent filters to replace those pods, they can cause erratic running.
I might have a (similar) emblem.

There’s a parts vendor at XJBikes.com. His forum handle is “Chacal.” XJ4Ever.com is an excellent source for XJ parts.

FWIW, the XJ650 is an excellent motorcycle. It is extremely durable.

Yep! I think somewhere we had this conversation. Maybe at XS11.com
I remember Year One as good stuff.

Thanks it’s in very nice shape and starts and runs perfectly. Was a lil concerned when I saw the pods and 4 into one exhaust that the carbs were oem jetting but it runs so smooth that perhaps the carbs were done. Or perhaps it wasn’t needed..idk. I know on my Harley you change air in and out and air/fuel has to change so not to be lean.
