It's been 15 years of dreaming and wishing and now my first bike is sitting out in the garage. I'm not taking the New Riders Course for another month+ (first one that's available), so.. there he sits, lol.
It's a 1983 Yamaha Maxim 400 with just 14,000km on it. Seems to be in good shape, but it's running like crap. I've changed the oil/filter, air filter, fuel filter and put in fresh gas. It ran a little better after that, but still not great. Have a friend who said he can clean the carbs for me, so hopefully that'll be the fix. Managed to cause some awful brassy discolouration on the engine yesterday by leaving it to idle for a bit (trying to circulate the new fuel with an engine cleaner additive), which I'm super disappointed about.
Aannyyway.. here's "Max"
