That's one of the reason I joined this site. While manuals can be great. There is always that ONE part I just can't find in the book and can't figure out what it is or why it is there.

I have been looking at the Antigravity batteries online. I like the size but when I check the compatibility it says it won't work on an XS400. Has anyone tried it on a kick/electric XS400?

got my answer, someone asked the same question and I didn't see the thread. Sorry.

Haha, I just asked the same question. I didn't see this post.

Today while I was working on my bike I removed the battery (so I wouldn't get a jolt). I was going over the wires looking to see if any need to be replaced or repaired. The bike is new to me so I am just double checking stuff that may need work. The black negative lead snapped off and I can't...

I think I have to agree with you on that, haha

Well, I recently came across this PaDMV link that says signals are not required (section 4303) and that blue dots are also legal (section 4310). I'm going to do a little more research to be safe, but this seems legit as it is the Pennsylvania DMV site...

Ok, thanks. I mostly asked because my last bike was a 76 and it didn't have them (wasn't manufactured with them). So I wasn't sure about the laws.

Thanks. I just figured I would ask on here to get some feedback on here before I started making calls. I don't have a regular mechanic yet for inspections, so I didn't want to annoy the first one I call with what could sound like a stupid question.

I recently bought a '80 SX400SG that I want to start modding over the winter. Before I start the tear down. I had a question. I want to remove the turn signals from the bike so I can streamline it. Years ago someone told me that if the bike was built stock with signals you had to keep them...

That's the plan Jared. Once I get the parts out of the swingarm I'm going to evaluate what I need to replace. One of them being brass bushings. I'm taking my time since I don't plan to ride till next spring anyway.

Yeah, overall the bike is in decent shape. When the swingarm bolt broke the dude was riding it and put it away with the intention of fixing it, but he has to move to another state for work and can't take it with him. He's moving from Philly, PA to Nebraska. It's mostly cosmetic stuff, but I plan...

Here ya go. This is the only one I have right now. Took this after I loaded it into my van to get it home. I'll take better ones as I clean her up and start working on her. Other then the broken swingarm bolt she is in ok shape. In the process of tracking down all the parts I need to do that...

ok, so obviously I already effed up, lol. I was trying to post in the new members area.

I haven't ridden a bike in over 10 years and just bought a 1980 XS400SG last week. It needs some work but the price was right ($400 with only 11k miles). I just wanted to say hello and forgive me in advance if I ask any stupid questions. At the moment the bike isn't road ready (needs a new...
