Looking for high-quality Yamaha XJ550 parts? This collection includes OEM and aftermarket replacement parts for all Yamaha XJ550 models, including Maxim and Seca variants, produced between 1981 and 1983. Whether you’re restoring a classic sport-standard or maintaining a reliable vintage four-cylinder, you’ll find the essential components needed to keep your XJ550 on the road.
Introduced in 1981, the Yamaha XJ550 was part of Yamaha’s XJ series, designed to blend modern engineering with everyday usability. Powered by a 528cc air-cooled inline-four engine with double overhead camshafts, the XJ550 delivered smooth, high-revving power and excellent reliability. Its refined engine character and compact chassis made it a standout in the middleweight class.
The XJ550 was offered in multiple configurations, most notably the XJ550 Maxim, with cruiser-inspired styling and shaft drive, and the XJ550 Seca, which featured a sportier stance and chain drive. Despite cosmetic and drivetrain differences, all XJ550 models shared the same core engine architecture and Yamaha’s reputation for durability. Today, the XJ550 remains a popular choice among vintage riders who appreciate smooth four-cylinder performance in a manageable package.

Building a Custom XJ550?
Some parts on a custom build are not model-specific. If you’re changing handlebars, mirrors, lighting, controls, shocks, exhaust pieces, fuel line, or hardware, visit our universal and custom motorcycle parts collection.
These parts are useful for cafe racers, brat builds, trackers, choppers, and garage-built vintage motorcycles, but they are not guaranteed to fit every bike without checking. Always compare measurements, mounting style, clearance, and product notes before ordering.
