    Looking for grommet for sidecover

    The side-cover on the right side of my 1984 xs400 has had the grommet holding the batter cover on disintegrate. I've looked around unsuccessfully to find a replacement. I'm hoping someone here has run into the same problem and has a source.

    Replacement Gas tank

    I have a 1984 xs400, and I've been having zero luck in finding a new gas tank for it. The old one is a bit small (3.5Gal total I believe?) and I'm hoping that there is a bigger one. As it is, I get maybe 150km tops out of 1 tank, and that's pretty much to empty. I average about 14km/L, and...

    engine, exhaust, carburetors, electrical

    Hello all, I'm back. After my last problem popped up in mid December, I took my bike into my mechanics for its overall checkup, and he got everything running again. Started consistently (occasionally had to push start it even then), and didn't have running problems. One hing he did point...

    Right side turn signals static at low/no speed

    I went in for a road test today, and about 5 minutes in, the instructor radioed to tell me to pull over because apparently my turn signals were not flashing when I was at a stand still. This was news to me, but it's something I need to fix before taking the test apparently... I'm in BC, and...

    1984 xs400 shut off while driving. Problem solved, but wow I felt dumb.

    This happened a few days ago coming home from work. Hopped on the bike, turned it on saw the green light come on, hit the starter and... nothing. Rolled it down a small hill to try and get it started that way, thinking the battery might be dead. It started after a few tries, but I got 1/2 way...
