Yamaha Other description

You will be acquiring an awesome 1982 Yamaha Maxim 650
It ran fine when I bought it but decided to go ahead and have the carbs cleaned and totally overhauled.  New Petcock. Cleaned tank out.
Totally rebuilt the 'triple tree' with a rebuild kit. Handles like a swiss watch. New tires front and back. 
  Replaced valve cover gasket.
New rear brakes shoes.  New front brake pads.
Complete service beyond this-all fluids etc.
Over $750 spent.  
This loves to run and you can rev it to 9000 rpm as much as you would like.  Cruise all day at 70-80 mph.
Getting over 40 MPG mph on carb rebuild.
Ride it home!
All electrics work. Horn. Blinkers.

Through it all, however, Yamaha has remained involved with the sport, fielding factory teams and sponsoring various riding schools and even racetracks.
