Re: My xj700 yamaha hold back power wont go above...
Hi ,
your bike may starve for full .
the float in the carbies may have to be re adjusted to give you more full therefore more revs .
the other thing is that the bike may need tuning as well .
it was nothing to do with a tune up or carbs,it was the cdi bow that wont alow it to rev above 5500rpms................i asked 100 poeple and everyone that thinks thay no everything about motorcyclesgive a 100 diffrent answer.and not one of them answer were rite..it was nothing to do with a tune up or carbs,it was the cdi bow that wont alow it to rev above 5500rpms................i asked 100 poeple and everyone that thinks thay no everything about motorcyclesgive a 100 diffrent answer.and not one of them answer were rite..

Actually, they're not Hitachi carbs. Since you have a 1985 "Maxim-X", the model number is actually XJ700XN. The XJ700 does indeed have Hitachi carbs but your bike, the XJ700XN Maxim-X has BS33 Mikuni carbs.
Careful with the model number, the XJ700 and the XJ700X are entirely different bikes.
By the way, if you want more answers about your Maxim-X, feel free to visit the "Maximum Maxim-X" web site at www.maxim-x.com and the lesser known FTP site for the Maximum Maxim-X web site at www.maxim-x.com/pix
yes, the breather line hooks to the petcock on the line facing the back, the fuel line hooks to the larger one. the line from the breather is actually a vacume line that turns on the fuel, without it you will not get fuel out of the petcock unless it is in the prime position.
All engines need the same three to four things to work correctly.. Compression, Fuel, Spark, (timing).... But, usually those bikes, have fuel issues. The fuel tank spigot has a vacuum controlled valve which when the engine is cranked, suction is applied and fuel then can flow. Second,, the needle and float in the carb tend to get gummed up along with the main and idle jet... You need to make sure the carb is maticulously clean, Using carb cleaner, and tag wire,, or a piece of fine wire ( be careful not to enlarge the tiny holes). Keep refering to the 3-4 list fuel, compression, Spark,,,timing..... Good luck...!! Rib
