Does anybody have stock exhaust temperatures for the '82 XS400 Maxim? (DOHC, YICS) I'm looking at new exhuasts and in the mean time also looking for my temperature probe and I was wondering what the difference between the stock pipes are and an almost straight pipe design would be. Also, has...

Looking to upgrade exhausts and I was wondering if these carbs would work well with our bikes and if anyone has used them in the bikes? These are supposed to be performance carbs, what's the difference and is it any better than the stock carbs with a new exhaust?

Working on the bike, bought the caliper rebuild kit and put ethanol reducer in the fuel, and everytime the bike sits for over a week, the carbs get clogged with stuff. Right now my pilot jets are clogged, so I have to pull the carbs again. Doing the msf course today so I won't be able to do it... :/

Looked at my caliper today, noticed my brakes were trash again, piston is leaking. I've looked online and finding a rebuild kit for this thing is a pain in the a$$. Anybody got a link to the rebuild kit or a new caliper? I'd prefer a new caliper (I believe it's a 32mm (ID) piston. Thanks

It's the luck of working. A few weeks ago I took off all the panels to be spray painted, never touched the carbs (in fact I drained them) and now when everything is put together, the carbs are leaking out of every orifice. Not sure what to do, my petcock was also leaking no matter what, even...

I am repainting the gas tank (going well :)) and looking at all the plastics removed, I seemed to have lost the connecting points for the plastics? Here's the piece that's missing on my bike. https://imgur.com/gallery/HOS44

I've read up on here some, but I can't exactly find the solution. I have a 1982 DOHC XS400. It has 14k miles and everything is running swell now, I cleaned the carbs and synced them. The only thing wrong with it is the brakes. (Also the bike hits a power boost at ~4500rpm, is this normal for...

So, since my other thread for replacing the exhaust with a straight pipe didn't go so well for me :laugh: I plan on now de-chroming the exhaust and painting it flat black with heat resistant paint. The problem here is de-chroming. I have a few body shops nearby but I'm not sure if they would...

Before I start I bought a 1982 Maxim 400 DOHC bike for $800 (what a steal for me ;) ) and only had to rebuild the fuel petcock and lines so far. This bike I believe already runs a little lean as the throttle response is not the best from idle, is this common? I do not know if the carbs are in...
