There's a shop close by that sells K&L Jets, which according to some people are very good, I'll try to stop by there tomorrow see if I can get a couple of Jets, cause that makes total sense, it runs really well cold with no choke, then starts going down hill as it gets warmer. And yes, I am...

You are absolutely right, this is from ShopYamaha.com Now the jets on mine are 130, and 127.5, which is very different from stock, would that cause any of my symptoms, or other issues?

Thank you very much for both your responses :) The main reason why I am thinking about throwing in the towel is because I just passed the first exam to get my motorcycle license, and have only about two months to do my final road test, so I was hoping to get it running so I can practice If I had...

Update: I think I might just sell it, and buy a ready to ride bike. I don't know how much it would cost to to make road worthy :(

The piston on its own costs about $50 so unless it is pitted, I don't see why should you replace it, it is just a piece of metal that pushes the break pad. I would recommend cleaning yours thoroughly and seeing whether it has any pitting, then ordering it if that's the case.

Well the same kit by different seller: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Yamaha-XS-400-J-K-Maxim-82-83-front-caliper-seal-repair-rebuild-kit-1982-1983-/151711974474?hash=item2352bd044a:g:Jk0AAOxyjxlTM~4U&vxp=mtr

I just finished restoring my XS400, and after I started it, it started spitting out oil mixed with gas through the air filter, Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this issue? The bike runs, just loads of oil comes out Sorry, forgot to say it's a 1983 Maxim 400 (XS400J) After...

Hi I am wondering whether you have the front break system?

Do you by any chance still have the front brake system?(Master cylinder, caliper, and brake line)

Hi, I am looking for the front brake master cylinder, caliper, and the brake line, I was wondering whether you still had them? if so, can you post a picture, my bike is a 1983 Maxim 400

Thank you very much, I just removed the side cover, however I didn't mark it as I got your message afterwards, but I also am planning on polishing the chrome and cleaning the shift, so markings would've been erased anyway I haven't removed the mounts yet, my cousin gave me a motorcycle lift as a...

Thank you very much :)

Thank you very much for your help :) In my case there are only 5 screws, same as this diagram attached In place of the sixth screw in your diagram, there's the shifter, which might be what's holding it, what about the screw under the plastic cover? Or the clutch cable I will remover the engine...

Hi I am slowly continuing work on my bike, and things are progressing beautifully :) I would like to remove the Crankcase to access the front sprocket(Labeled G in the picture below), now after I was able to finally remove the 5 screws(Previous owner stripped three of the 5 screws). There's...
