Yeah yeah... it ain't a Honda :D

Silver 1982 Yamaha XJ 550 Maxim. Completely stock.

I'm listing this for a friend.

This is actually my old bike. Somehow it keeps coming back to me. It was always reliable and is in great shape. No serious dings or scratches. Was never dropped by me or my buddy. It hasn't been ridden in a few years so it needs a good cleaning and a tuneup. Somebody save it from sitting in a garage!

Known issues are:

rust hole on bottom of muffler. Not through to baffle AFAIK
1 rubber boot between carb and intake is dry-rotted and cracked.

I'm going to be going over the bike soon and checking it over. I'll list anything else I find wrong with it.

Here's the specs and a generic pic.
