Please note: Total Motorcycle would like to thank Maxim-X  for the above specifications and for Grant J for informing us of this gap in our 1985/86 Yamaha line. We made attempts to contact the webmaster at Maxim-X but all attempts failed. We fear the information at Maxim-X maybe soon lost as their site has not been updated for a long time thus we are trying to save the above information from the internet void. If you are the webmaster for Maxim-X please contact us.
