Has anyone noticed if the tach cable leaks? I have replaced the top seal last time I took the head apart, now I am thinking that maybe i picked up the wrong cable, and that leak there, may be caused by the wrong tach cable? In 2010 when I had the front suspension done (finished) I picked up a tach cable from that place. I don't think it was specific to the XS400 or not, just that it was a close match to the cable I was needing. That was 6 years ago, so I don't quite remember anymore.

My problem was two fold. one the right tach cable, goes a long ways. replacing the seal, I did that as well, but i did it when I was rebuilding. So I had the top of the head off, and I don't remember everything, but I seem to think you have to bet a c-clip off, and then everything will fall apart,or perhaps you can dig at the existing oring, and get it out. since its 30 plus years old, its hardened, and won't want to play nice.
Good luck.
