3.00 front will fit fine i believe the max front is 3.50 then bigger than that it wont fit under the fender

I have a 1980 Xs400 Aussie spec. 5E8 is the code of my bike. It has the tci ignition. Ive always been under the impression that negative wires should never have power running in them.

So this is normal in the pic?. The other end of the tester is clipped onto a the engine mount

Yeah thats correct. Did a bit more testing and even with the regulator disconnected my negatives still give a postive reading, but its very faint. Its almost as if when the reg is plugged in its boosting the power on the negatives....

Using a circuit tester

Hey guys im having a lot of electrical headaches on my project bike trying to get it running. Ive discovered that all my negatives on my bike are live, trying to figure out why Ive been doing process of elimination and unplugging everything that's tapped into it and testing the negatives. Long...

I need a new caliper for my 400. Im a bit skeptical about this one from mike xs. The oem reference number for the caliper does not match the 400 caliper part number. Any updates on using this caliper or anyone else used one of these calipers as a replacement?

Where in queensland are you?

I might get the ones from cmsnl. They look more like the original ones i guess.

Thanks mate i appreciate that. So in theory they would work but would need to use a spocket that would fit them...

That would be great if you can, thanks. Once they are out, whats the method to put them in?, something tells me its not going to be easy.....

Hey guys, Im a bit confused on what parts I should be buying. I have a Aussie 1980 SOHC XS400 pre-fix 5E8 First off, my clutch cable I just removed is 120cm (47inch) I want to replace it but all the ones Ive found on ebay have either list them at a length of 106cm or they don't list the length...

So let me get this straight...the ones from CMSNL are correct but the ones from yambits will fit but have a shorter thread. Im just about to pull the trigger on a set and just wanna make sure i get the right ones.

Cant ride it yet mate, at the moment its my project.It has been sitting for the last 8yrs in previous owners shed.

Ok thanks for the advice guys, I'll just give it a rinse and fill it with fuel then. Cheers
