    slow progress....

    Question. Is there a difference between left and right coil? I havent checked wiring diagrams yet. About too. But do they have dedicated plugs or can they be reversed? Ones orange and gray the others orange and red. Didnt take notes as to where they go back. I would think it matters as far as...

    Wipeout

    Ive rode dirtbikes religiously growing up...I believe it was just too much brake for a street tire on grass period lol. Idk if anyones ever fooled around in the grass, but street tires and grass dont mix(found out at the bike and my expense). I mean you do what, 80 percent or something of your...

    Wipeout

    I had a bash for the fourth tonite. Everyone wanted to tool around on my bike. I grabbed the front brake going very slow and the front tire kicked out. I bit it gracefully.Next guy followed suit in the same spot.(we were in the yard). I get on it again and ran first gear hard, went to slow...

    My seat pan...

    I used a sheet of aluminum for the pan, hand bent it, and moved the rubber stops from the original seat back for a little cushion. I cut and re-tapped the rear signals down too. I think it looks better than having them a mile out there. I will probably finish the seat with a layer of black...

    Hello, I just purchased a 80' xs400. The bike ran when I got it home. I started removing stuff I dont need/want. My intentions are to make it a bobber, then this winter hardtail it. Anyways, I have been looking at a few schematics, on this website and others about the carbs. As of now the...
