Anyone know about UV protection levels?
The reply I got from "them" about UV protection...

Hi everyone! I got a 1084 xv1000 with 21K miles a couple of months ago.
I absolutely love it, except one thing: it warms up too long!
I have to start it with the full choke although the weather is hot now.

For Sale:
1985 Yamaha Maxim X XJ700C

Meticulously maintained, oil change every 2k mi.

Just a quick question. In new Jersey when installing passing lights, do they
get wired to the low beam or the high beam. I thought high beam but someone
said that I need to ware them to the low beam. Thanks

my tires will be shot shortly what are the best for handling and wear.

Er det noen som har en link til repmanual for dragstar 1100 classic ???
takker for svar.

Greetings, all.
PMFJIH, but I've got something I'd like to ask your advice on.  I've
got an '82 Yamaha XJ750 Maxim, with a blown fork seal, and I'm kinda
