The tank is gone. Seat, side covers, and exhaust are available. Message me with an offer and location and I’ll check on shipping. I need the shocks for a while so I can finish the mock-up, but I’d be willing to part with those at some stage. Let me know what you think is fair for the lot...

Loads of crusty, poorly engineered take-offs if anyone is interested... The seat, remarkably, has no tears or rips. For a bike with 7k miles that was last plated in 1998 this is astonishing. The seat vinyl was certainly a wise choice!

WARNING! What you’re about to see here is a garage born chop, slice, dice, and grind Frankenstein of a build. I’m paying absolutely zero homage to the XS400 in it’s original form and going straight for my vision of how I’d like this bike to look. The images on display here may roll a purists...

Thanks Chris. I’ll have to do some research and testing to figure out the secondary resistance. I believe the TCI bikes call for 8.6k Ohms. Any experience with acceptable range? I don’t think the service manual calls out a tolerance. I suppose +/-10% should keep me in a safe window. I’ve done...

Chris, Sorry to resurrect an old post, but I’m building a bike using an 81 XS400S motor with a TCI unit. The engine came with the TCI unit, the pickup is still in place, but no other electics. While I’m working on getting the electrics dialed I’ve been digging through some old components and...

It’s the plug for the ignitor unit. It’s the brains of the ignition system.

To compliment my last post, here are the wire colors from the ignitor unit. As you can see, there are no solid black, solid gray, or solid orange wires here. For my application I’m going to try to match the wiring colors to those coming out of the ignitor unit since this will be a point of...

Thanks for this rafanomenon. I was apprehensive to use this, but it’s the only diagram I could find that shows the pickup wire colors. I’m new here, but I know I’ll be back. I’m building a “ground up” bike using an XS360 frame (among other things) with an XS400 motor. Since I don’t have the...
