Please someone local have a spare! '79 xs400

7/8" black 3-4"ish rise/drop Bought these a few days ago and I'm not happy with them. not enough of a rise for me. they have a quality durable finish on them which i had to sand down slightly just at the end of the bar for my throttle to be smooth ( it was a bit thick). looking for a local...

I went to order new mixture screws and float valves and hit a roadblock. None of my stuff looks like BS34 stuff, but rather 38 stuff. I thought that all our 400's came with BS34's? Maybe a PO swapped them? Are there any major differences in the carbs? I may look for new bodies since both have...

I'm a big forum guy if you didn't know. I was/am highly involved in car and drifting forums. On a particular forum for oldschool toyotas, I guess you could consider me a "guru" of 80's toyotas. An original member of over 10 years of a club that grew from 100 members to 6000, and I'm 3rd in post...

- all original electrical components - kickstart only (solenoid removed, using cig. Pack 0.08ah sized battery) - brand new battery Battery reads 12.4-.8v by as soon as I turn the key to on, It drops down to 10.3ish. I'll kick the bike over and it'll stay at 10.3 for a minute, then slowly...

so i'm really cheap so instead of bucking up for a MAC exhaust system, I decided to make my own. i took a two inch section from the end of the left one and extended it right after the first bend. made a few notches to adjust the bend. then got creative with merging the two. i...

was riding today and as i was coming to a red light, the bike stalls (sadly, not too abnormal at this point) but unusually , i hear some kind of thump or clank from the bike. i pull into the gas station conveniently to my right, i can't remember if the rear wheel locked or i just grabbed the...

i noticed a few of us on this forum and even ran into one riding. i'd like to see whos my neighbour and maybe go for a ride

there seem to be 2 types listed on mikesxs. can one of them be used on our bikes?

i'm planning on cutting the stock springs in the rear and i've done a custom rear tail light that sits right on top of the rear tire. i weigh 150-160 pounds and i'd like to know approximately how much clearance i need because i'd like it as low as possible. i see people running fenders pretty...

Bought it for my XS400 but I'm not using it anymore. Its been used half a dozen times to start the bike, but I'm doing a mini battery now since it doesn't fit under my custom seat. I have a receipt for $62.99 + tax and its never left my garage $50 I won't ship a battery lol. So hopefully...

I'm going to run one of those small cigarette pack sized batteries and kick only. So removing the solenoid, there are two wires soldered to the solenoid, blue/white and red/white. Blue/white I'm assuming is from the starter button for a trigger. Red/white is for ignition I'm going to assume as...

Will I run into any problems with this mounting setup? I'm worried they will ground but they should be a sealed unit correct?

when i first got the bike, the electric starter worked fine. It might have missed a few times when i pressed the button but my memory is hazy. Now i won't get a click or anything and it seems pretty electronic related to me, tried kicking starter over to see if it was jammed but that doesn't...

so i have a pretty good condition original seat that I wouldn't mind trading someone if they have a seat for trade. all i need is the stock seat pan since i'm going to be hacking it up and recovering it so i thought it would be a waste to use mine. let me know within the next week or two...

where can i haz?? i've done alot of googling and most of what i find are NOS tires which would be next to useless for actual riding with dry rubber. Has anyone had luck with tire paints like Ranger?

hey guys, been on for a little while now but finally decided it was time for an intro thread after finally bringing my first bike home yesterday. I bought the bike sight unseen besides a couple photo's exchanged over email. i'm very impressed in the overall body condition, but i think the...
