My battery stays at 12.5v for good while when riding and then stops charging randomly leaving me stranded. The stator is good and has new wires. I am using a Rick's reg/rec for lithium-ion batteries and an Antigravity 4 cell. I thought the battery was bad so I bought a new one but it does the...

Will the stock high/low headlight switch be okay with power running directly through it to the headlight or should I put a relay in? The headlight is 60W with 12-14V going to it so that equals about 5 amps. It will have its own 10 amp fuse aswell. I assume it would be okay and looking at the...

Im trying to rewire my bike and I'm confused on how to wire up the reg/rec. I've drawn a diagram if anyone would be generous enough to take a look. I'm mostly confused on where to put the red and brown wires that come out of the r/r. The brown wire is the wire that checks the voltage, and the...

I have a whole gasket kit, just don't want to mess with it if it's still fine. The black stuff seems to be...

I just made some new exhaust pipes tonight and realized that the rear brake pedal is right in the way of where I want to mount my muffler. Anyone have any solutions? I don't want rearsests and I'd rather not have to move the mufflers back. Thanks

Im the new owner of a 79 xs400, I've been working on it for the past few weeks and finally got it to run. I took it out for a test drive and noticed it makes a grinding noise, almost like gears grinding. It's not consistent and happens every couple seconds sporadically. I think its coming from...

Hello everyone, first time here. I purchased a 1979 xs400F a few days ago and I'm trying to get it running. The previous owner said the ignition coils burnt while he was tuning the carbs. He put new ones on but didn't connect them. It seems they might not be the correct ones as they only have...
