1985 Yamaha MAXIM Service and Repair Manual

Model code XJ700N identifies the 1985 Maxim, and LIT-11616-XJ-72 is the Yamaha part number of the service volume that covers it.

The same book was written to serve the 1985 and 1986 model years together. That matters when you compare parts or settings across the two seasons, because the differences are set out inside one document instead of two.

What you get is factory service material. Assemblies are taken apart and rebuilt in a defined order, fasteners are given torque values, running clearances and adjustment figures are stated as measurements rather than descriptions, the electrical system is drawn out in wiring diagrams, and the troubleshooting sections work from symptom toward cause.

Before you begin, read the code on the machine itself and confirm it is XJ700N. Quote LIT-11616-XJ-72 whenever you need to be certain which Maxim volume is being discussed.
