Thanks for the tips cturek. Sounds like it is somewhat common for these seals to go bad. Ordered a seal from Bike Bandit yesterday so hopefully I can take care of that this weekend.

And drewpy, I think a DPST would work also. The dual throw would just go to nothing if my thoughts are correct. Might be just a bit cheaper.

Possibly part 15?

Hey all, I finally got to get my bike out on the highway and put on some miles (about 180mi) over the 4th of July weekend. I've been busy since but during all that riding I realized that I have a fairly decent leak from under the clutch cable/chain cover. After getting to take it off and run the...

BTW just put on about 200mi with it over the weekend of the 4th and had no issues.

Hey, sorry to give my input a little too late but I just replaced my battery with a small one. Heres a link: http://www.batteriesplus.com/product_search/32623-Werker-12V-2-dot3AH-AGM-Battery-w_--dot187-Terminal-DASH--DASH-WKA12--2-dot3F.aspx It's a 12v 2.3 ah battery that is about the size...

Haha, those bikes are pretty wild. I do like a good lazy boy....

So i'm still new to this site. Figured that I would post again about my bike. Got rid of the bulky battery tonight :), as I am not using an electric starter. Picked out a 12v 2.3ah battery that is about the size of two cig packs end to end. Anyone have any good ideas for the seat and taillight...

Is running the bike at 5500 rpm normal or safe for the bike? Like I said, i'm still a little green with this. What kind of mileage do you guys get running like this?

Hey Mike F, how much highway riding do you do with your bike? Have you come up with a decent gear ratio that works good for it? I'm looking to commute ~70mi. round trip to work on mine and mostly 55-65mph the whole way. This is my first bike so I'm no expert but it seems geared a little low for...

Hi all. I'm a little new to the site. Been lurking for a while. I've got an '81 XS400 that I'll post a few pics of if I can figure it out. I'm working on simplifying my wiring or totally going with new wires. If I do make my own wiring harness what gauge wires should I use? I'm only planning on...

Hey guys, I just recently became a proud owner of a 1981 XS400. Picked it up for $240 with a cracked/leaky crankcase cover. Picked up a new old one a local bone yard, gave the bike some TLC and "viola" she runs. Well, shortly after it running I have decided to switch to pods, rejetted carb, and...
