Didn't sync the carbs yet, should do that. You're right about black plugs, it's too rich. I don't think I have a vacuum leak since I changed the boots for new ones. Running with pods, didn't know it would affect the CV carbs that much, read on another forum I should tape the pods a bit and go...

Did you try to rule out the starter by using a thick screwdriver across the relay?

So, fixed the electrics proper, installed new carb boots, airfilters. Changed seal of carb, cleaned carb again. It starts and idles now, and keeps on idling, so definitely improved. Symptoms; Idle is a little high Idle goes up an down in revs Turning air fuel mixture richer makes the exhaust...

Ive tucked sokme wires in climbing rope, just remove the strings on the inside, get any color you want

Im missing the right hand side spacer for the rear wheel, does anyone have pictures how it should go together? I have a disk brake.

Battery dead?

I wanted to go with Velleman, and ordered it. they are cheap, about 10€ a kit, but have to be assembled/soldered. for now I just want a starting motorcycle so I chucked them in a box, maybe next winter :)

those are Heidenau K67 Trail tires, they can be ordered at multiple (european) webshops

Long time since I worked on the bike, eventually got stuck on the ignition. Also added 2 more daughters to the family, so was and am a bit busy :) I also bought a second xs360 barnfind, for spare parts/spare engine. So update; I cleaned the carbs as best I could (ultrasonic and dismantling...

Going to run it kickstart only with capacitor and velleman electronic ignition

Ill try the old regulator, thanks for the tips! Since this bike wouldnt spark I assumed the rectifier was broken and ordered a new one, not knowing much about electrics

The reg/rec has 6 connections. 1,2,3 ac ground and 12v. Was planning on soldering this later. Ive removed the old regulator. The field (4th wire im assuming) was not connected when testing. Am I correct in guessing this wire with 1,6 ohm is the wire i neednt run? Ive tested for 50 volts ac...

Need a little help with electrics. ive got 4 white wires coming out of the ac generator. between all wires ive got 0,6 ohm, except one wire which has 1,2 ohm to the other three wires. im assuming this is ground. checked continuity to frame, no shorts to ground. however, I dont have 50/70...

Havent been online in a while, we sold our house and moved. Bigger shed, and bike is coming together. Powdercoated the frame, fitted the seat, sorted out some minor problems and painted the tank. starting on wiring now. (Biggest issue, need some help there)

Some more work done [emoji1]

So I will take your advice, and order a proper needle bearing. Stripped the tank to bare metal today, and coated the underside with plastidip. Any tips on getting it smooth? Right now you can see darker spots here n there. Dont want to polish to a shine, going for bare metal :)

Left to right ; old inner shaft with the old outer shaft and grinded off bolts. New inner shaft (which need to be threaded) and the only shafts i could find that would fit

Good to know the 650 bushings will fit. I meant the shaft that comes with the needle bearing kit. Currently I have 2 short shafts, but I guess the shaft should be 1 piece. Thought it wouldnt pose a problem if the locking shaft would keep em together. Still trying to decide needle or brass...

Hi, I'm Raoul, a new member from the netherlands! I've been reading only, hanging around on the xs400 forum for a while behind the screens. Always wanted to build a caferacer, but didn't have the budget or the time for it. I drove a 2005 Z1000, until it was "apprehended" by the thieves guild...
