Cool. Thanks, man! I know nothing about electrical so I wanted to make sure that wouldn't mess anything up. Now I just need to find out what to do with the additional wires for the stock license plate light that no longer have a purpose. Haha.

No,it's not LED. I purposely got bulb cause I thought it would make things easier. Any idea what I should do with all the wires?

Greetings all! Let me first say thank you for all of your help in the past. I recently purchased a medium cat eye taillight. It contains 3 wires-red, black, and yellow. The issue I've run into is the coupler that connected to the stock tail light has waaaaay too many wires. 3 blue, 3 yellow...

It's definitely not the battery. I just put a new one in a few days ago and rebuilt the fuse box. She starts right up. I'll take a look at the vacuum line. We had to remove the tank to sync the carbs. I suppose it's possible something got messed up. I'm learning all of this as I go so I have no...

Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you well. I have an 81 XS400 and I've run into an issue. Yesterday I had my carbs synced and the bike was running beautifully. Today I go out to turn her on and she starts right up but no matter how I use the choke, it will no longer idle. I even took it...

Hello good people of the XS400 world! Where do I even begin? Well...I got a few new parts for my bike (I have an 81 XS400 H). First thing was the new turn signals. They're small and cheap (pics below) They have one green and one orange wire. Initially I installed the rear ones and at first they...

1981 Yamaha XS400. My right turn signal works most of the time but my left one barely works. Sometimes neither does. This problem just came out of nowhere. Any thoughts or advice on why and how to fix it? Thanks!

These are pictures of the exhaust and mufflers

I recently purchased a 1981 XS400 and was unfortunate to have the stock muffler crack and eventually separate completely at the rear weld connecting the mufflers. I purchased VooDoo 19 inch turnout slip-on mufflers. I hacksawed the stock exhaust where it was welded to the muffler up front. The...
