    1982 XS400 DOHC camshafts spin directly in the head! WTF?

    I recently found out that the cams on the DOHC sit directly in the aluminum head. That just seems like a huge wear problem waiting to happen. It sure has on mine... Finally took a good look. There's so much wear that the cams rattle around in there... In thinking now that the initial...

    Main jets mis-assembled?

    Hi all! I'm in the middle of cleaning my carbs, and think my jets are 'backwards'... The manual says: L/H 127.5 R/H 117.5 BUT, looking at them (air filter side up), it's 117.5 on the left and 127.5 on the right. I assume left and right should refer to the rider's left and...
