A 1980 Maxim carries the model code XJ650G, and the factory service volume written for it is Yamaha LIT-11616-XJ-60.

Yamaha's coverage here reaches past the single season. The book takes in the 1980, 1981 and 1982 model years and also documents the XJ650, so the procedures were prepared with that whole span in view. Where a later year differs, the text calls out the change rather than leaving an owner to guess.

Using it on your machine

Start with the code. If the stamping reads XJ650G, the specifications in LIT-11616-XJ-60 are written for your Maxim. From there the book gives the factory approach to service work: setting adjustments to specification, removing and refitting assemblies in the correct order, torquing fasteners to the stated values, reading the wiring diagrams and following the troubleshooting sequences when a symptom needs tracing back to its source.
