Hello all, I am looking for a few parts just to have extras or upgrade from what I have. I have a 78 xs400e I am looking for tank not dented(prefer red but will take blue), Stock Seat, Stator side engine cover. A center stand with spring and bolts. New/used in good shape heavy duty shocks(I am...

I was not the one who tested the bike. My cousin who has a shop did it. he's been working on older bikes for almost 20 years I am sure it was done as it should be.

I am not sure what WOT is. I screwed in a pressure gauge to the spark plug hole and checked it.

I looked at the plugs after a lengthy ride and they are running nicely. compression is 130 left 128 right smoke is whitish.

nice looking bike. Personally I don't mind kick only bikes once they are sorted. getting them to that point can be long and tedious.

I tend to agree no use in replacing good parts.

So just a follow up I have carbs sorted reinstalled and adjusted so she purrs. Very happy with the old girl starts 1to 2 kicks. I like having something that works when you ask it to. I am blowing smoke out the right cylinder when I lay on it but I think it's the rings. I was planning on pulling...

more reliable unless you are going for that restoration to factory specs.

I just sold my 89 Honda Pacific coast. I would tell you if you want a good constantly reliable older bike get a Honda. I had zero issues with that fuel injection shaft drive. start and go all the time, run at 8o mph all day long and do it again tomorrow no issues. I prefer Carbs personally...

If you could let me know how you want to be paid. I will have some extra money on thursday I can send you. Thanks Kyle

Can I ask the history of the Carbs. I am interested but were they off a running bike. any known issues. and how much to ship to 06516?

That is a big jump can I ask if did it. and Why you were looking to go that route?

I found Hella has a waterproof blade fuse setup meant for boats. I paid 6 bucks for the box and another 3 for the fuses. The work was me and some old wire. I bought the six slot setup so I can add accessories if I choose without any issues. I even hot wired one of them to make it easier I am...

it's amazing what you find when you have a separate pair of eyes check things. The caps to the pilot jets were only held on by one to two threads. so when it warmed up I was sucking massive amounts of fuel. Hence I am almost willing to bet the bike is my reason for running that high with rpm...

I will check

it does not feel sticky at all. I guess I am reaching.

Something I have always wondered on all the bikes I have had. when I check the diaphragms and look at the throttle valve and see the jet needle it's always under pressure but never perfectly even in the center under the throttle valve because there is a snap ring holding the spring and a spacer...

I actually just picked up a hard copy of the service manual the other day for $5, good score. I have checked the spark and exchanged plugs from side to side both look to be running nice no excess carbon, doesn't looked burned, nothing is wet, they look to be running as they should. I had the...
