Hey lads, so I need to replace the coils on my xs. I was wondering what your experience with coils are/which do you recommend? I know mikes xs sells his Hitachi type coils which I'm sure you all have experience with., Are they any good? Or are they like the ergo ones? The other option I...

Wow, I've never encountered such a huge level of elitism on a motorcycle forum before. You guys should all just get Harleys lol. Also @wolf_11b jajaja man you are a funny guy! Calling me the hipster for drinking cheap shitty beer when you're the one who rides a cafe rawrcer. Atleast I know...

lol @ wolfe_11b. really you've never heard of a motorcycle 'tune up kit' before? You should check it out, they're pretty dope for the bikes that still use points ign setups, and considering ND made pretty much all the electronics on the bikes to begin with lol. The points even come pregapped...

nope, same problem. the NGKs made it worse actually. With the ND plugs it ran fine. I guess you folks don't really know what you're talking about and don't know what to do beyond stock settings. Thats too bad I was hoping someone here might have more info and be willing to help. I'll just have...

so are you thinking its a timing issue/coils are overheating or not outputting like they should?, Where would you start? So everything i've done so far is: Installed new points and the condenser. Re timed it to the specs in the Clymer manual. Tested with a volt meter to make sure its within...

Yeah but are you guys actually trying to push your bikes past 80mph at WOT or just chilling cursing around at 60? I'm talking full throttle top of 6th @ 6k rpms. I'll mess with the needle setting and see if that helps. Its only a fine tuning carb issue. Everywhere else its fine/responds well...

Hey so I recently got a tune up kit for my XS360 and its never ran better! Anyway, now that I'm actually able to push it I've been trying to max it out and see how far it can go. I've noticed at high rpms, around 6k and up if I'm in 5th or 6th gear the bike starts to backfire/pop/sputter the...

do it. theyre the same frames. at least the 77' ones are. and the rd400 engine is much tamer then its older smaller sibling the 350

Hi guys!, So i've put about 2000mi on my XS since i got it back in July. Unfortunately now the left side cylinder has developed this gnarly head leak. It runs fine otherwise so i'm going to chalk it up to a 37+ year old head gasket going bad. I was wondering how difficult is it to replace the...

ooooh gee wiz, ill just machine some new spacers, big deal. Anyway, got any forks 4 sail?

Looking for either xs360 or 400 front forks. Preferably just the right lower fork tube where the brake caliper mounts are. Want to convert my drum to a disc. Let me know what you have!, thanks.

Weeeellll.. .I guess thats my only option then XD. Is there any benefit to running 142.5's and 42.5's jetting like the xs400 has? or is that wayyy to rich on the 360's cylinders?

Right so there are no fresh new ones I can buy, just old used ones? And yes I have re-synced these carbs and cleaned them multiple times with an ultrasonic cleaner, compressed air, ect. Also replaced the needles and needle valves, ect, ect..

Hi there. I recently purchased a 1977 XS360 for my first bike. I've worked on small displacement 2 strokes and mopeds before so i get some of the theory behind it. Anyway does anyone know what jets, mainly idle and main jets I should be running on a stock xs360 with Mikuni BS34 Carbs? I ask...
