I had to disconnect my horn yesterday due to the fact every time I turned the key to the "on" position it would stay on. The horn button is fine, what could be causing this annoyance? -SF :confused:

Hello everyone, by looking at this rim with no idea the year it came from would anyone be able to tell if it is suitable for a tubeless tire. It does not say on the rim anywhere like the rear does and currently has a 3.00x18 tube tire on it. -Subtlefocus

By play what do you mean...? lol

Well very happy with the progress I made on my 1979 xs400 today, I started my bike up for the first time since I bought it back in August of 2011! The only thing there is left to do is buy some tires, so here is my question if you fellows and ladies of course would be so kind to answer...

I appreciate the quick replies fellows! I hope you all are enjoying the riding season thus far.

Okay! So my bike is just about ready for the road all that is needed are a new pair of tires And some fresh oil! I read on here that some of you have been running 15w-40 desil oil in your bikes I have been considering doing this but am wondering what the proper oil type is for a 1979 xs400...

I am in need of a front master cylinder and pretty well the whole front disk brake set up to complete my 1979 xs400. Does any one know any websites that would sell such parts? I tried looking locally and there isnt much out there.

I have a 16" drum brake set up rim on the rear of my bike right now and I bought a 18" rim the same style except it is disk brake. The 18" rim I bought came with a sprocket will the chain that is on the bike now fit still if I just swap out the rims and sprocket? -SubtleFocus-

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a set of rims for my 1979 xs4, my question has to do with the front tire. My motorcycle currently has a 18" spoke drum brake on the front and with the purchase of these rims I was also giving forks that the front rim came on. All that is needed is a...

Thank you!

This is probably a hard question to answer right off hand without looking at the manual but do you have any idea how to remove the front fork from a 79' model? Do I need to completely take apart the steering column or should the forks just slide out after the bolts are loosened holding them in.
