    What did you do with your XS today?

    Have a '79 xs400 that I've stripped down and rebuilt. Fixed a turn signal issue that was nagging me (turns out the right front turn signal was plugged into the wrong group of wiring). Also got a new front brake switch in, so will be replacing that shortly. Tried starting her up, but she...

    Wanted - Carbs or Carb bodies for 79 XS400

    Wanted - Carbs or Carb bodies for 79 XS400

    Unfortunately the PO screwed the idle air screws on too tight, and they broke off and are permanently stuck in the carb bodies. I'm looking for a set of carbs that I can either rebuild, or just the carb bodies. Location Oakland CA.

    The fork gaiters came with the bike. They're a bit large, so I'm going to swap them out for something more fitting, and paint the forks black while I'm at it. The handlebars are painted a satin black at the moment. Should I sand down where they contact the risers?

    Figured out that it was the front brake light switch. With it disconnected there are no electrical issues anymore. Now just have to figure out how to put the brake switch on again without it shorting.

    Will do that and report back. Weird thing is the signal fuse was fine last week (it was the main fuse that was blowing due to a bad ground).

    Lights not working.

    Hi all, I acquired a '79 xs400f which was midway through becoming a cafe bike. I've been going over the entire bike and almost have it in roadworthy condition. But I've run into an issue with the electrical. I replaced the fuse box with a blade type fuse box, and replaced all of the...
