yup..battery charging/electrical issue...carb issues, right cylinder firing sporadically, ect ect ect....

right on, thanks everyone.

This bikes turning into a real headache...anyway thanks, here's some of the info I was speaking of....incorrect i now know but thats why i asked here. these few are answers to people asking the same question about xs400's "The alternator cover is on the left side of the engine, as you...

ok, thanks. I only have a side stand. The bikes been modified quite a bit. If the oil runs into the stator side, Im assuming it can run back into the case once its upright and not leaned over so far. Or i guess I need to check some seals?

My right cylinder is firing, and getting fuel, but not running... So I pulled the stator cover to check time. All the oil ran out of the bike when I pulled it off. I have searched and read thread after thread and half of them say, this is normal, the xs stator runs in oil. While the other half...

also any advice on new universal coils? im thinking thats my issue...from what ive seen new coils are going to run me 160+... that or keep buying used ones that may have the same problem...

looking at throttle housings and they are single or double pull? I dont know what this means? for my xs400 which do i need or does it matter..? thanks

mine is dohc as well. thanks. went through the other thread. thanks

I did a quick search and didnt see this topic recently anyway.. sorry if its an over post. My question is, whats the opinion of a bobber xs400, does it belong on the highway, as in interstate, where speeds are 65-75mph, and most people are doing well over that. My commute to work takes me...

thanks guys. definitely needs some work but not bad. i would swap mags with disc brakes front and rear in a heart beat. maybe...... Im kinda leaning toward powder coating these rims and spokes...and the hubs..Im assuming you can powder coat the hubs as well.

yeah, sorry, I know im asking questions that I can read post and find answers. Just wanting to make sure. Think I'm good now. thanks for all the help.

i went to napa and got the napa #vr38sb regulator. Guy said he cannot get a pigtail for that part? So as of now I am deciding the best way forward. Here is a pic of where a pigtail would connect... again all and any help i greatly appreciate. Went on a couple short rides today, but thats with a...

i might be interested in front forks and both mag wheels..price?
