    1982 XS400 Heritage Special Scrambler Log

    So the disassembly is now complete. I took all of it off except for the triple tree. My handy friend convinced me to do it, so I here I am with the engine out of the frame. Got a soda blaster from Princess Auto and soda blasted my engine. It looks so clean I love it. It’s raining here now so I...

    1982 XS400 Heritage Special Scrambler Log

    Also would like to mention that the swing arm was the greasiest thing ever, took a good 30 minutes cleaning the gunk off of it. I have questions about the led blinkers. When I change the signal module (EP34) do I have to do any extra work for the front ones? the forum talks a lot about rear led...

I taped literally everything with numbers so I dont have to struggle when I have to put it back together. Since I am going for the Scrambler look I wanted a lower headlight, when I...

    Interesting, this is why I am posting on here so I learn from the veterans. I will be looking for those! Thank you xschris. I would love to reuse my exhaust, but they just seem so ugly, are their other options? maybe a whole system I could buy?

    1982 XS400 Heritage Special Scrambler Log

    So this weekend more removing was in the way, removed the chains, rear wheel, handle bars (cut off the grips), exhaust and mufflers (was welded together), rear shocks. Removing the exhaust was fairly easy, the middle connection came apart after some wiggling (lucky), but disappointed that the...

    Also would like to mention that my engine started leaking oil last summer after I changed the oil last summer. Just couple of drops overnight after riding and it stops. Anybody had similar issue?

    1982 XS400 Heritage Special Scrambler Log

    So I have started removing parts this weekend, it seems that lot of the scrambler bikes I see have either removed some of the electrical components or relocated them. Since I want my Electric starter I will be relocating most of them by extending them with wires between. But I am open to ideas...

    Carb Diaphragm

    Carb Diaphragm

    So I opened up my Carbs today, and surprisingly everything was really clean! (Good for me). So I was trying to put back the carbs together and I ran into a problem at the end where the diaphragm goes in. When I put the whole set up in the diaphragm doesnt go all the way in, so if I try to make...

    Fuel Cap for XS400S

    So I have been looking for a XS400SJ/XS400SG fuel caps because they are different than XS400. Through my research, I came to a realization that XS650S fuel caps fit the XS400S. I have found one on Ebay, but I believe they have the OEM# wrong. The OEM# they have specified is for a small rubber...

    Need help with Ordering Parts

    It came with a 1980 XS400SG service manual, so I am guessing it is a SOHC. But I will double check, the bike is in my friends garage right now, will post pics later.
