I have 2 1980 400G bikes for sale. Both will run with minor repairs. The first is a very low mileage converter to street tracker style. It has been converted to e start only. It will need carb clean to start and run, has been sitting 3 years covered. The second is also done in street tracker...

I have spent the last few days trying to figure out wiring on my 77 d. Finally in an attempt to simplify it, I wired a completely new harness with LED lights at the directionals. I have a schematic that I used but I think I may have gotten the wrong flasher, the one I have only has a red and...

Okay, here we go. I had a bad rt side handlebar switch on my 77 400D. I took the switch apart and was able to figure out the headlight wiring, but the on/off switch had a totally different colored wire going to it and the connections were all broken so I can't "go to school on them". The wire...

I had finished all of the valve adjustments I had the carbs bench adjusted, I filled it with fresh oil and attempted to start my 1980 G. It crank over a few times and the battery went dead from sitting. I recharged the battery and attempted to start. The motor cranked over a few times, then made...

I have a restored seat from my 1977D. I have reassembled it from 3 seperate seats, taking the best parts and putting them together. It is the second one I have done now.The rear decal is crooked, the painted stripes on the tail section are similar in theme, but not exact. I have replaced the...

I have an untitled 1977D with disc brakes and 18 inch alloy wheels Will the Swing arm and brake setup transfer to a 1980G. I believe there is no issue with the front forks and wheel/brake but I am not certain on the Swing arm. I know I will have to fabricate a rear brake master cylinder mount...

I am looking for a pair of tank emblems rather than cutting out the mount and filling the indentation. As long as they are not in multiple pieces condition is not an issue. Give me text and we can talk about it.

I have a petcock for my 1980G that has no intake filter. I have found some on line for 35.00 but that is a pretty high price if I can do otherwise. Could I source copper line the same size a s the inlet pipes and use the universal type filters I find much cheaper. or, should I just purchase...

I haven't really thought this out, maybe somebody could give me some pros and or cons. How would it react if you ran your headers part way back and the one on the left hand side you made a Bend that would connect it 2 the crossover on my 80G. In short, connect the left side exhaust to the right...

I have resolved the issue, thank you!

Well, today I tackled my first set of points, the old ones would not open ,they were so worn. I was hoping the bike would start...but it did not. While cranking the bike on the starter it seemed to only be puffing on one side. I put my hand over the right exhaust and felt nothing. I'm guessing a...

I have a 1977 xs400D and I want to replace the brake hoses. What are folks using for new? I am not interested in used.

77 tank are so tough to come by and I resurrected a beautiful seat and tail spoiler. What to do? I got creative with the mounts. Here is a mock-up before it goes to paint. The seat bumpers are off so that explains the tank/seat line being off a bit but it won't be when done. I think it looks...

I have been working on my 1977 400D and I get the engine to crank and spin freely until it makes a groaning noise like something rubbing against it inside. Could this be a timing issue or should I look at a starter problem....or worse? I wish I could describe it better, it can come and go during...

I am need of the latch portion of the lock. It has been called a helmet hanger in the microfiche. The part number I found was: 4A3-24705-00-00. Let me know if you have one, it is off the bikes with the square tank and rear fairing seat.

Considering installing one. Let's hear from you folks....yes or no, and why?

I have been chasing electrical problems, gas tank problems, no start problems and I have banging my head against the wall...:banghead: then I turned and looked out the shop window and realized it was all good. How about the rest of you? Let's see those shops etc.

I was wondering if the motor from a 1977 400D would swap into a 1980 400G frame. Or, will the heads from the 80 swap onto the 77 lower engine. I would like to get a kickstart back onto the 80 and since I have choices here.... I also assume that the forks,swing arm and wheels will swap along with...

I came across this model on ebay that I haven't seen before, the measurements seem very close to "workable". Has anyone tried this tank yet...

I recently came into a 1977 complete bike which is missing the tank. I have looked all over my sources and cannot find one. I really want to maintain the bike as original as possible. Any suggestions? how much work would be involved if I went to the tank and seat combination of later models...
