Unless the guy you bought it from did a ton of work and changed a lot of parts, that isn't the same 400. The one you have has the alloy wheels. Mine had drums and spokes. Yours looks really good.
Yep. That's the one. I had to have major surgery and was no longer able to work on the bike so I sold the whole shebang to a guy in Ohio...probably the same person who sold it to you. Hope you have good luck with it. Disappointing that I couldn't keep it going, but it was a lot of fun while it...
I just put my XS360 engine back in the frame after a top end rebuild. The engine turns over just fine with a socket wrench but the kick starter sticks and won't turn the crank.

I'm going base coat/clear coat and that's the problem I guess. I'm learning that a base coat isn't that easy to fix.
I tried using the part of the URL that should've linked directly to the pic and still got nothing. Must be a Photobucket issue.
Thanks for the tips and hopefully you'll have some...
The tank is primed and as clean as it's going to get. I can live with a few tiny flaws, heck it'll make the bike easier to ID when it gets stolen. Now I've put on a base coat of what is supposed to be decent paint, only to have the nozzle shoot out snot globs and ruin it.
I'm going to take Jay's...
Thanks for the advice.
It's Rust-oleum primer-filler from a rattle can. I was wondering about etching primer but you've tipped the balance and it's on order.
The frame of the old 360 was pretty rusty, so I went ahead and removed all the paint. Fortunately there's no perforation. Through the process I've discovered I actually dislike rust so the tank will be painted instead of leaving it bare. Humblest apologies to those who love the raw look...
