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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hey Guys, So I ordered a new headlight bulb for my 1982 xs400 Heritage special, and after a long month of waiting, it came and was the wrong bloody size. Does anyone have a good bulb that the high beams and low beams work on? I ordered the 5 3/4 bulb, but apparently I needed the 7" one...

Hey all, I'm looking for the signal relay for my 1982 xs400 heritage special. It is the little box that plugs in right in front of the battery and under the gas tank. Something is wrong with mine and I can't seem to figure out what! I'm also looking for a sissy bar if anyone has one...

Hey all! One last (hopefully) little problem with my bike. It keeps stalling when riding. I'll be going along fine then when stopped at a light the rpm will drop, the engine will start to stutter then will stall. The problem goes away if I keep the engine reved a little, or have the choke...

Hey all, Well I did it. My 1982 XS400 Heritage Special is finished! I took her out for her first ride today, just to get some practice before using it to go anywhere. I noticed one issue though, and hope that someone could help. It's the signals. The left signal will work 100% of the...

Hello all, I've been searching around, trying to find accurate specifications of my bike (things like top speed, fuel tank capacity, etc). One site will tell me a top speed of 100mph, another one will tell me a top speed of 80mph... I'm not sure who's being honest (though I would assume it's...

Hello All, I have almost finished rebuilding my 1982 XS400 Heritage special... All there is to do now is connect my battery. This should be pretty easy to do... but this being my first build I have a small question. The bike was mostly a basket case, with several bits missing here and...
