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...

Alright so I'm looking for someone to help verify/correct my wiring. Biggest issue I was having is not recharging the battery/not running without the battery. Here is my current revised wiring setup I'm looking for confirmation around. https://imgur.com/0zsKjc4 Any thoughts?

I feel like I've read a lot of threads and learned a lot but I'm still not getting a charging voltage off the bike and my battery is dying on me. '79 Checking resistance across the 3 white rectifier wires and I get consistent 1.4-ish ohms Checking resistance between the brown and green wires...

Ok, so I pulled out all of the wiring on my build and am doing it from scratch. I've got LED turn signals on the rear and incandescents on the front. I've tried 3 different relays and I can't get any to work on either sets of lights. So I'm looking for some help. Here is the basic diagram I'm...

So I feel like I'm missing something really obvious but I'm having issues here. Year: '79 Bike ran fine prior to tear down (1.5yrs ago) Both electric and kickstart worked great. I took the whole bike apart but never opened up the engine, left it as is, but did swap the airbox for the tapered...

I'm doing a cafe build and I have a bunch of original parts. The bike only had 9000 km, any rust appears to just be surface rust. Let me know what you're looking for. Some images attached. Parts located in Ottawa, Canada. I am willing to ship to US/INTL if you're willing to pay shipping.

So I've got a few questions on this topic. I've never torn in to an engine before, the one on my '79 seems to be running just fine. But I'd like to repaint it, powder coat the whole thing. Having never taken an engine apart am I getting in over my head? What should I watch out for if I go...

As a birthday gift to myself I picked up a '79 XS400 as a project bike. The bike only has 9000km so she's just broken in! It runs fine, a few minutes to warm up and everything seems great. With the exception of a new rear tire she's pretty much road worthy. I've never done a rebuild before so...
