Just an update - Got the part in the mail, threw it in (those battery boxes are a BITCH to get out) and Delilah now runs better than she did before. Throttle response is better, and so far no stalling - an issue I was dealing with off and on for a while (which may have been the TCI slowly...

Purchased! Thanks so much for your help xschris!

Though it is a little beat up, yes it does look like the one on my bike. Purchased! Lets hope that fixes it. Thanks so much for your help!

You Wouldn't happen to have a TCI unit for a 1982 xs400 heritage special would you? Please let me know, Thanks

Thanks very much xschris! Now it's a matter of finding one. Seems all ebay has are CDI.. no TCI in sight. Thanks again, Yusiro

Sorry for the bump, but no-one knows??? I'm sure there is someone out there who has dealt with the part in the past! Yusiro

Hello all, With help from the kind people on this forum, I'm fairly sure we've narrowed the problem down on my Bike to the TCI unit (see thread here: http://www.xs400.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8049). The only thing is... I'm not sure if it's a TCI or a CDI - i've been getting information...

Hey all, Thanks for the help with this. I tested the continuity through the coils, and all the way down both sets of wires to the large clip that goes into the TCI unit under the battery box. Everything is working as it should... which leads me to believe that the TCI unit has now failed...

Hello All, Hopefully someone will be able to help me. I have a 1982 xs400 heritage special that I rebuilt two summers ago (with the help of the fine members of this forum) which was running great... up until last week. About 200 yards from home she started sputtering, and running really...

Got one already pm'ed - but thanks very much.

Thanks all - I'll try cleaning the carbs out. Wish me luck! Sorry - quick question - Should I get two rebuild kits? If so, could someone recommend a place/which ones to get? I looked on a few sites, but was unsure which rebuild kit to get. Thanks

Last tune up and cleaning was before I got the bike. I'm thinking that's most likely what the issue is, but am not sure I trust myself to properly dissemble and reassemble the carbs... I might look into it though

Hey Oliver, thanks for the reply. The gas tank is clean and sealed - it was just done a few months ago. I'm thinking (hoping) it MIGHT be the gas cap vent but am unsure. I did pop open the tank last night to make sure i wasn't out of fuel, that would have allowed air back in so would have...

Hello All, I've been having an ongoing issue with my 1982 xs400 heritage special. Sometimes when riding, the rpms will start stuttering - like going from 5500, dropping suddenly to 4500, then back up to 5000, then up to 5500, ect. It does this without any movement on the throttle (and...

Thanks very much Houghmade. Clear and to the point. SO glad I won't have to go back to the shop. I assume it will be very obvious where I should be pouring the oil back into. Thanks again!

Hello Again all, After riding my bike (1982 xs400 heritage special) for a few hundred miles, I have come to the conclusion that my forks are far to soft. Using the zip-tie test, they are traveling up about 2/3 of the way up the fork (coming up to around 4 inches below the top), and I can...

Well I feel dumb. Checked the wire at the brake lever pushed in a little and the brake light works again... I guess I pulled to hard back through. I concluded that wire is two into 1 an doesn't connect to anything. Literally everything works. Thank you very much hmusket, you made me think and I...

The Picture didn't connect for some reason. See attached

Okay, So I replaced the entire headlight bucket and everything today (on my 1982 xs400 heritage special), but when I was finished I had one female connection left that didn't have a male. It is two black wires that goes into one connection. I think it has something to do with the brakes, as...

Cheers - I'll watch for your message
