    XS400 single carb setups / tuning ?

    What do you mean by intake is always shared? With dual carbs without h-pipe on pods it is not the case...

    Which brings me back to my first point....two VM34s

    XS400 single carb setups / tuning ?

    I might be wrong about this but with different runner lenghts on the intake manifold you may....in theory...be able to give one cylinderbits charge whilst giving some delay for the second cylinder's charge so as to prevent robbing from the first. ...but that's thoeretical at best

    XS400 single carb setups / tuning ?

    Yes, one lean side/one rich...unless you would find a way to offset this with an uneven manifold and even then it would be a challenge...

    XS400 single carb setups / tuning ?

    Why would you go for a single carb anyway? Two well tuned/properly jetted VM-34s will work wonders

    The Journey of a wrench and his first motorcycle

    Idle hang is either cable-related (hanging cable,ill-adjusted tension at the handle,rusty or ill-adjusted return spring)...or an air leak at the intake

    Carb tuning gone wrong.

    Wild guess here, if you can cold start without choke you're rich. Go down one size on your pilot jets. On idle to 1/4 throttle you are mainly on the pilot and air mixture Spectrum. If you open the throttle and it dies...you might be rich Higher-up also( needle Heights/mainjets) Ahhh the dark...

    Dead Headlight

    If everything comes on when you turn the bike on except the headlight.then it must be fuse related or between such fuse and headlight. I'd trace my way back from the fuse to the headlight with my multimeter on coninuity...including the ground.

    New problem, turn signal= engine cut out

    Parasitic drain... Knackered battery perhaps

    New problem, turn signal= engine cut out

    Check the fusebox connections ont just the fuses. Solenoid post..in my sense would'nt affect charging(in my sense) as it would be an other fused circuit unless the wiring diagram says otherwise. Open the controls on your handlebars...check for bad connections and corrosion. Check the safety...

    Piston head ruined. Need a completely new engine or just put on a new piston head?

    That kind of damage on a piston...that engine was beaten within an inch of its life. Or there was a casting defect. I'd do a bottom-up rebuild but that's my OCD

    Motogadget M-unit and charging issues

    Ok...so...you need to study the oem wiring diagrams from the bike as i have wires two bikes with m-units and they are very different. On the first one the starter solenoid had one signal wire which i connected To the start output...and the tci was powered by the red/White wire directly. On the...

    Will you damage anything running a bike with a vacuum leak?

    Could be a vacuum leak...but feels like it could be carb tuning...cleanliness. You won't hurt the bike short-term...really SHORT term. BUT...if you are running rich you will eventually fowl the plugs and get stuck . If running lean you might end-up causing the engine to heat-up more than it...
