Hi, I am looking for a seat for my 1978 XS400E if anyone has one they would like to sell let me know, my pan itself is rusted out! The 78 400E uses a lower profile seat than the 400 special, it looks like this:

I’ve not had an xs400 for years, this 78 popped up for sale a while back down in central WV where we have some property. I took the family down there for the weekend and remembered the XS! I found the guys info and ended meeting up with him. The bike had sat in an old barn for decades. It’s...

Ive listed the entire lot of years of collecting 400D parts, a complete parts bike, spare engine, carbs, totes and boxes full of parts along with a complete restoration project that comes with a clear title. Link to Ebay. Opening price is $1,000 will entertain offers of at least $1,000 for...

Time is too valuable and I have too many other projects so Im considering selling my 1977 XS400D project, it needs assembled and tuned, comes with keys and a clean clear title in my name... The bike was totally strippd, bagged and put in totes. The frame, swing arm and center stand were all...

Decided not to sell it all

I am staring at my new Avon tires and looking at both sets of my 1977 D edition 7 spoke, flat silver stock wheels…They are pretty ugly, no pitting or cracks just showing their age… Has anyone on here had these wheels blasted and powder coated or is it unsafe to put them in an oven to bake on...

Found a 1 owner, 1977D on C List earlier this week, it was an 8 hour round trip to pick it up but it here. Pretty much a parts bike, sadly... less than 7k on the clock, all there with some wicked 70s Shoei hard bags and a sissy bar. The guy I bought it from claims to have found it in a barn...

I’m looking for a clean set of disk brake mag wheels for my 77D. I have a 1979 SOHC XS400 engine that I bought from, what I was told a good running parts bike, “I needed a set of carbs” for yet another project! The carbs are very clean and it seems to have good compression as far as I can...

Fork lowers that came with my "new" forks, from a 1981. They are the same length as my stock 1977 lowers but are drum only with NO disk caliper tabs on either side. I only needed the upper fork tubes as my chrome was pitted. They need cleaned and polished but are 100% usable lowers. Free, pick...

My new bronze swingarm bushings came in yesterday, before I put it back together I thought Id ask about the seals the Mikes XS sells, do I need a pair? I cant remember if there were any in there when I tore the swing arm off before sending it to the blasters / powder coat shop! Let me know, Id...

I finally put some pictures of my 77D project up! http://www.xs400.com/media/albums/489/

fork difference info through the years & tapered head bearing recommendations I bought a clean pair of 1981 forks to tear down for their uppers as mine are pitted. Does anyone know if my 1977D springs are any different or if there is anything that needs changed inside of the dampers themselves...

I searched for this but didnt see a thread so here goes! I Came across a great site today, not sure if its been brought up or not: http://www.dansmc.com/MC_repaircourse.htm

Ive got my carbs torn completely down ready to soak but have a question about removing the main jet emulsion tubes. I know on other CV carbs they come out from the bottom up through the top of the carb. Before I try to knock mine out I need to know if this is how they are held in on these...

I just got home from a road trip, I went to pick up an engine, carbs and a few boxes of miscellaneous parts from a guy that I won on Ebay. The bike he was parting was a 1978. Does anyone know why Yamaha changed the cylinder and head shape from the 1977 model? My 77’s top end is square, where...

Local pick up or you pay shipping! This was on the 77 400D that I am restoring. It’s a direct bolt on unit that is held on by the upper shock bolts and the rear fender bolts, that said I don’t think it’s good for a " D " bike, the rear seat could not be opened with it installed! The plastic...

Looking for a good front rotor with all hardware, let me know! Thanks, Matt

Looking for a right carb or even a carb body, whoever owned my new to me 77D snapped one of the float bowl mounts off and tried to epoxy it back on. Let me know if you have one! Id rather not buy a set but will if it comes down to it. Thanks, Matt

Looking for a 2-1 header, I dont need the muffler but will buy the whole system, if not close Ill need it shipped to 25425, let me know if you have one for sale! Thanks, Matt

I’m selling my 79 XS400, I’ve decided to rebuild my dad’s old 74 DT360 Enduro instead of wrenching on the XS and its taking up space in my garage! It has newer tires, mag wheels, front and rear disk brakes, a 2-1 exhaust system and one key. It does not come with a title; I do have a paper from...
