    Can't Take It Off Choke

    Exhaust Header Nut and Shim Question

    Hey Guys, new member here! I've been digging around the forums, but I can't find the answer to my exact question. I recently completed my first build (which is incidentally my first bike ever) and I'm running into a potential issue with my exhaust headers. I reused my old exhausts and...

    Scrambler Exhaust Build

    Hi everyone, it's been quite a while! Ever since the newest Triumph scrambler came out, I have been pining after a pair of high pipes. Couple that with my friend purchasing a cabin in Northern Wisconsin (offroading trails like you wouldn't believe), and you have the recipe for entering into a...

    Running lean; exhaust issues

    Hey friends! This is my first actual post on here, but I've been around I here for a couple years now getting my 79 xs400 up and running. Recently i did a bunch of mostly cosmetic work on the bike which involved taking off the exhaust. The guy i bought it from did a custom 2-1 exhaust. It...

    Exhaust Temperatures

    Does anybody have stock exhaust temperatures for the '82 XS400 Maxim? (DOHC, YICS) I'm looking at new exhuasts and in the mean time also looking for my temperature probe and I was wondering what the difference between the stock pipes are and an almost straight pipe design would be. Also, has...

    Exhaust headers diameter

    Hey guys, I am going to build custom exhaust headers, and after a bit of studying I am considering my options. Stock headers are 38mm outside diameter, and they are double pipes so i think inside diameter is around 35mm for example. If I build custom headers from 43mm pipe with thicknes 1.5mm...

    Exhaust Change?

    Before I start I bought a 1982 Maxim 400 DOHC bike for $800 (what a steal for me ;) ) and only had to rebuild the fuel petcock and lines so far. This bike I believe already runs a little lean as the throttle response is not the best from idle, is this common? I do not know if the carbs are in...

    Engine Heating and smoke coming from the exhaust

    Hi, I have recently bought a Yamaha XS400 1982, It's my first bike ever and I just have a very little knowledge of mechanical work. My bike heats up very fast if I go for 5 to 10 km's, a smoke starts to come out of the exhaust area. There's enough engine oil so I don't think that is the issue...

    2-1 carb set up

    So I was thinking about going 2-1 with my xs360 because I want a simpler setup that's easier, just the usual. And I know that doing this will cause the left cylinder to run lean. Anyways, what if I make the left exhaust pipe more restrictive causing it to run richer? Would that work?

    Was running and riding, then running, now won't start.

    I recently bought an 81 xs400 special, picked it up on Tuesday afternoon since the weather in WI is finally riding weather. She had been sitting in the sellers garage for half of the winter without a battery tender, so I knew the battery was dead. Brought a new battery with me to pick it up...

    Kickstand is denting exhaust pipe.

    Whenever I release the kickstand it will hit my exhaust pipe. Not sure if that's the way it always has been or if previous owner was neglecting to fix it. There is now a fairly large dent. The centre stand was removed so that's not an option. I would like to fix this as soon as possible cause...
