Looking at the wiring diagram for my 82 SOHC, would I be able to remove #13 (self cancelling unit) by using a two print adjustable flasher in place of #16? Trying to wire up LED signals and if possible LED signal indicator. I am toying with the idea of running a left and right signal indicator...

Having a similar issue. After some digging, thinking it might be the non led dash indicator (led on order) coupled with led signals messing with the system. If the stock flasher is a 3 prong, would we need a electronic 3 prong as well? I purchased an electronic flasher (adjustable) but it...

Ok thanks for the help. Is there a certain style of cone filters you guys would recommend to use with the stock H pipe? I figure I get everything visually the way I want it all mocked up and then try and get it dialed in and running properly before tearing it down to paint and finish everything.

Not trying ti hijack but have a similar question. I have a dohc with stock jets, stock air box and the Mac 2-1 pipes. I haven’t had enough time yet to see what it’s running like but it sure doesn’t seem right. I toyed with the idea of switching to Uni’s or Pods and keeping the H pipe, and...

Got it fired up this morning. I ended up re-cleaning both sides of the handlebar controls and where they contact the (painted aftermarket) bars even more than they were before. It fired up after a few minutes and was running on both cylinders. I shut it off and tried again just to verify...

I am grounding out the b/w wire that comes out of the starter solenoid (not the harness side) correct? Effectively bypassing the starter switch button and using the jumper wire as the starter button? No new bars and i did clean them last year and the button to ensure good contact. Thank you...

Hey all. 1982 XS 400 Heritage Special in Canada Had the e start working last year. Parked the bike for the winter, and now it won’t work. Battery charged all up to 12.6v. I have power going to the start solenoid all of the time, but no power coming out when the starter button is pressed...

Just wanted to add that on initial start up it idles perfectly. It only will stay high after the first and every throttle input

Ok thanks Chris. I will get the manometer set up tomorrow after I check the main and pilot jet sizes. Is there a standard in the manual for idle mix screw? I know sometimes it is 1 or 1.5 turns out as a baseline but adjusted from there. Air filters were/are back on for this run

Hey guys. Just got the bike back together after carb clean and fuel filter install. Throttle moves freely and returns fine. Bike fires up and idles smooth. Issue is when I crack the throttle open either at a stop or while riding the throttle itself returns to closed but the bike stays revving...

Alright will do. When we got the bike it wasn't running but were told it ran so we were able to get a really good deal. We took the carbs off and gave them a really good cleaning, changed the oil and filter, added some fresh gas and fuel filter. The intake-carb adapters were cracked so we...

Awesome. Thanks so much for all of the help. Would those Mac pipes have any effect on Jetting?

Thanks. I will check them out again when I get a chance. I like the look of the Pod filters but am worried about trying to rejet in order to compensate

Thanks for the responses. The clutch cable is routed correctly but incredibly hard for my wife (and even me) to pull. Pivot moving ok so I ordered a new cable from Partzilla. Air boxes are back on now. Just had them off for the initial fire up when we first got the bike and took it for a quick...

Awesome! Thanks so much! That really clears up a lot of confusion. Is there a good Canadian retailer you use for parts?

Ill check the VIN when I get back home on Wednesday. I can take a better picture at that time too if needed. It looks like the bars have been changed and maybe the pipes as well?

Hey all. New member here. Search through a bunch of threads trying to identify my new toy to no avail. It is a 1982 XS 400 Heritage Special and my question is which sub letter should I be looking for when ordering parts? S? SJ? none? Previous owner has removed front brake pads as they were...
