So I think I have a 1977 xs360 2-D model on my hands. I know I started this thread 2.4 years ago but I am just now getting around to putting hands on it. I've started taking a few things off now, just exterior and following the Reighmoto Garage guys post on YouTube. Where could I find the shop...

This is how I got it, I just want it to run nicely. I think the starter is shot or it has major electrical problems.

I'm just new to all kinds of motorcycle mechanics. I don't know much about the wiring and when I open it up it gives me a bit of anxiety!

I'm having issues with the starter! Every time I want to turn it on, I have to jump it with a car!

I got this one for super cheap!

Yes, I just ordered the bikes manual on ebay and will definitely take my time and be super careful with parts.

Good to hear! I can't wait to start on this project, just kind of scared..

Thank you! How easy would it be to strip the bike down and have the frame powder-coated? The more I look at the bike the more it needs little things. I’ll take pictures of the things I’ve found.

Any luck with the OC shop? I'm in La Mirada and just got a '76 XS360 that needs some work. Let me know..

Yes it does, IT6 XXX201

Will do, thank you What am I looking for in the VIN? Like I said, I am NEW to this..

Will do, thank you

I just don’t know which filter? Should I search for Yamaha XS400 oil filter?

What about filter?

Just bought this off a friend. Needs some work - welding and maintenance. Original mechanic on it stripped it completely and so I'm not sure if its street legal yet - no indicators, speedometer, etc.. First thing I noticed was that it had no oil, so maybe taking care of that first would be...
