Updated the price. Would like to get this out of the shop! Headed to Vermont in a couple weeks and could bring it with me.

MAC Megaphone Full Exhaust System 2:1 Yamaha Maxim 400/Special II/XS400 Selling as I've sold the bike with a different exhaust. Basically, I only used it to tune the bike, jet it properly, basically brand new. Was put on a '79 XS400. PRICING IN $CAD, WILL SHIP AT BUYERS EXPENSE Location...

My voltage on the battery now drops with the R292 :(

@NewHavenMike yellow and orange spliced and going to brown?

@NewHavenMike what wiring diagram did you follow for the 292?

@BBS360 I'm getting a bit confused as it sounds like only '80+ had a solid regulator but my '79 has it. The R292 has 4 wires but my stock solid only has 3 like the VR125. I'm so confused.

Piggy backing on this thread, but what is the correct replacement regulator for this? My '79 has this same reg and I think it's dead. VR125? VR291/R292? other?

Where would I find this procedure? I don't see anything in the Haynes manual.

Seems like maybe just more of a clutch adjustment issue. Took it all apart again and pieced it back together. Will play with the clutch cable next.

The RW wire I ran to the key and now she's turning over. Battery was dead so it'll be another day or two until I can test if the thing is properly charging. Updated drawing https://imgur.com/NhIwatb

Bumping this back up because FINALLY defrosted from winter and not getting anything with the starter and this wiring. All lights and signals work fine, but nothing out of the starter. Thoughts?

So I opened the side of the engine up so I could check on the clutch plates. Pretty sure I put it back exactly as it came out but the kickstart won’t move any more. Any thoughts to diagnose this?

my bike was have a lot of issues getting in to gear. I tried every adjustment possible on the cable, lever, push pin and nothing seemed to work. It wouldn’t grab until the lever was 95% out and you had to rev the sh*t out of it to get it to go. It sat dry for a couple years so I was wondering...

The forum limits file sizes you can see the full size here https://i.imgur.com/yiSnSot.png The kill switch, right now, is actually a 75A knob, this guy https://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/bates-kill-bill-battery-switch-black-knob.html

Ok awesome, thanks for the insight! I think I'm on the right track with this https://imgur.com/yiSnSot
