    Carb Adjustment

    Hey . . . if you get the adjustment figured out, post your results here. I'm going to run the same setup (straight pipes, pods) but I am seriously thinking about using Uni's on it instead because of the hard times others have had trying to get the standard pods to work. Pretty sure we'll both...

    1978 XS400 - Project has begun!

    Was originally thinking hardtail, but now I'm leaning more towards extending the swingarm about 3 inches and still using the shocks. Similar the 650 you have on your website (I checked it out!). I'm not much of a welder (want to learn, but no time yet) and the PSW hardtail for the $400 is so...

I know it says "boats.net" but it has every schematic (all parts numbered and in printable format) for just about every year XS out there with the parts for each schematic listed below (you can...

    Yamaha XS400 Wiring Diagrams

    Hey guys . . . I bought a set of very simplified wiring diagrams from a guy on eBay (Sinister Cycles) for $5.99. Very detailed but very simple to follow! Looks like they would be pretty useful for a chop/bobber build. I haven't gotten a chance to use them yet, but when I do, I'll post the...

    Clutch cover removal (Right side cover)

    Hey guys . . . just got around to messing with that cover again. Travis, you were spot-on man . . . the pin on the dipstick side of the cover was a tad rusty and what was holding the cover on. A little localized rubber mallet treatment and the use of a small pry bar (tiny screwdriver) got her...

    Clutch cover removal (Right side cover)

    Got it . . . thanks! I will try putting the kicker back on and move it around a little to see if that works when I get home. Thanks for the advice!

    Clutch cover removal (Right side cover)

    Hey Travis . . . thanks for the reply! Yep, I tried the rubber mallet route and it helped free up the right hand side of the cover some. seems to be stuck on the left hand side of the cover where the kickstart shaft is. Which side are those dowel pins located? One on each side, or...
