Yeah thanks 247, But.......to each their own...depends on which type of riding YOU want to do.?? But when you ride Husqvarna Enduro.Well...... thats a game of it's own.!

Also, if you look at "XS Chris" he is selling a pair of BS34 carbs, which is not the same as either of my sets.? This is FUCKED lol.!

True... but which carb is for the bike. the ones on the left was in her. The one on the right came with her. And which is the better set to try do rebuild.?

Yep the Vin matches the frame.! Shot meaning: linkage broken, screws missing, no Idle adjustment. Heads of brass screws stripped out. It's clean, but well used and been assembled and disassembled, many of times.!

That Ducati is SWEET!!

These two fill my needs.!

Hey guy's, I am a new guy to the forum. And a new guy to a 1978 XS 400. The frame sticker say's 1977, but registration say's 1978. I just got her running good enough today to justify a good rip around town. And what a good time I had.!!! Never the less, my carb is shot. It's one of those...

I changed mine today $25.00 used and 11om's if that helps. Although I have a 78, 400.!

Ha ha So then..... it's safe to say I thickest oil I can use in her is 20-50.?

I'll call myself stupid, but whats the difference in 20-50 and 25-50.???? Because I got 15-40 in 1978 XS 400 now. And it's too noisy. 35,000km never rebuilt. 150 compression.!

Thanks drewpy, I read on this forum somewhere that Haynes manual suggested Bp7. But apparently the Yamaha service manual suggest BP6 as stock, BP5 as hot and BP7 as cool. So I don't know, it's all new to me. Just tiring to grab whatever info I can that has been some what justified.! While tiring...

No point in taking a picture, I just confirmed she has 120 compression on the right side and 60 on the left.! Fun times ahead.!

I'm going to do a compression test tonight when the kids go to bed. I just did the Seafoam trick.....little improvement, but still bucking in the 6000-7000 rmp range. And I think she is burning oil, because i can smell it. I'm gonna keep reviewing you carb video's and perhaps this week I'll...

I'm on it. But she ant nothing like the nice machines on here.! I got a real..... in over my head project.!:doh:

Hey guy's The Newfie finally got registered.! I recently acquired a 1978 XS400 34,000 km and she has been on this island since it's been built. Therefor, because of the isolation around here. She is made up of several bikes.! I actually am having a hard time figuring out what is...
