As title, XS400 bottom end (sohc), bought several years ago when I had the 250. Never managed to find a cheap top end for it, sold the 250, so no point in leaving it under my bench ! Includes all attachments at bottom as far as I remember, but will need a strip down, as has been open and...

Ok, I need the space, and the cash, so the little XS has to go. Located in Surrey, UK, has MoT until January, and taxed until July. Spares include wheels, swingarm, and a box of assorted bits, plus a really good pair of headlamp brackets, and a 400 bottom end. Bike is tatty, but previous owner...

Hi all, just wondered if anyone in the UK had a reasonable rear mudguard, (for a non-special model), going spare ? Doesn't have to be concours, just tidy. Drewpy, CadXS perhaps ? Mine is so rusty I think it's about to fall off :laugh:

Last weekend I took the XS up to the Dragon rally. It's a famous rally held since 1962 on what is traditionally the coldest weekend of the year, in the mountains and hills of North Wales. I thought I was well prepared, checking the bike over the whole of the preceding week, and also making sure...

Reading in the Haynes manual, it advises against strobing the bikes, to avoid excessive oil loss from the side casing. Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't feel happy relying on just static timing the ignition. So, using a damaged alternator cover that had lost it's top screw...

Well, the silencers that have been on my bike for the last few years, look to possibly have been the originals. My mate who was the previous owner, rode the bike as a daily hack for ten years, and as each hole appeared he just welded 'em up. Anyway, a few months ago I noticed that a new hole...

Hi there, tried to post a picture in my intro, but the manage attachments button is missing, (under the message box) and if I click on the attachment paper clip above the message box, nothing happens. I did use reply and not quick reply. I want to upload one pic from my pc, any ideas ?

Hi there, made a few posts, but don't think I actually introduced myself. I live in the UK, been riding since I was 16, just coming up to 49 now! Had around 40 or so bikes, currently a '39 Triumph 600, a '35 Triumph 250, a Kwak GPX250 with a very sick engine, and of course an XS. I titled this...

Hi there, I have an XS250 that I wish to make into a 400. I got a bottom end off ebay last year, but the other engine bits seem a bit thin on the ground here in the UK. I have found a dealer with a seized motor who wants £100 plus shipping, but that seems a bit steep? So, has anyone got a cheap...
