700XN (MaximX)

Chapter 1, GENERAL INFORMATION and SPECIAL TOOLS

GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduced in 1985 the Maxim X resulted from a request of Yamaha USA for a "little brother" to the upcoming V-Max. Mother Yamaha already had the 750 Maxim and the 750 Virago, and plans for the new FZ750 (to replace the vernerable 750 Seca). They balked at building yet another unique engine in that class, so a compromise was struck: Yamaha would design the new FZ "Genisis" 5-valve motor to fit on a standard XJ transmission utlizing the strengthened gearset of the XJ900 and 650 Turbo models, and the MaximX was born.
