    xs360 carburetor settings question

    I have a question about xs360 carbs. I am wondering what the stock settings on the air/fuel screws (WITH the plastic stops still on them) are in comparison to when people say "1 turn out, 2 turns out, etc.". This is the first set I've had that still have the plastic stops on them for adjusting...

    Went and picked this 1981 xs400 for parts yesterday to help with my current 360 build. Engine is seized but I still thought it was a good value for $100 and a few hours of driving. This bike has electric start. My 360 project does not. Have any of you ever had 2 bikes like this and swapped...

    Plugs...

    See attachments-- These plugs were in my bike about a month and about 200 miles. It is a 77 XS360. It has been a bit hard to hot start but runs great while riding. Sometimes at idle it will misfire some but nothing major. Stock airbox and filters. MAC 2 into 1 exhaust. What do you guys think...

    Shorter than stock drum front brake cable?

    Hey guys. I would like to try a shorter front brake cable for my 360. Mine gets into the header if the bars are slightly turned to the left and it keeps leaving a mark on my header wrap. It also just doesn't look that great since it's too long. I have clubman bars now so that is the reason for...

    1977 XS360 - Carburetor Adjustment Question Regarding High Idle

    I have a '77 XS360 with stock airbox and all stock carburetors/jetting, but it has the MAC 2 into 1 exhaust. I currently have the idle screw ran basically all the way out to where it doesn't want to idle when it's cold but when it is warm after riding it the idle likes to hang. It is to the...

    1977 XS360 - Hard to cold start...

    My XS360 project that I'm wrapping up is hard to cold start. I've only rode the bike a few times but once I get it started it runs pretty good and idles pretty good. Once it's warm and has been running within the last few hours it is also easy to start (usually first kick). When it has sat for...

    Xs360 petcock interchangeability

    My 1977 xs360 petcock is leaking. Do any of you know of any direct fit aftermarket options out there? Links, part numbers? I'm not a fan of those overpriced K&L rebuild kits. I'm not too concerned about keeping the vacuum operated petcock. If so that's fine, if I can find something nice that is...

    So Who Knows This Exhaust???? Somebody has to!

    I recently bought this 2 into 1 exhaust on eBay. The pictures attached are those of the listing when it was on there. On the muffler it has a sticker/emblem that says something to the effect of SS Performance or something. My first problem is that the sticker fell off after I received it so all...

    '77 XS360 jetting question

    Hey guys. I'm working on a 1977 xs360 and recently purchased a 2 into 1 exhaust for it. Besides the exhaust change, the bike is completely stock otherwise. I was looking for some carburetor jetting advice for this setup. I wonder if this will be enough to require any major rejetting or not...

    Anybody know of any companies out there selling the pens or any type of touch up that is a match to the brilliant red?
