    For Sale - '84 Maxim xs400

    Hi everyone. My shed is now full of the new Maxim 650 and I will have to pass the xs400 on. Per the recent Ontario insurance thread, there is no 2nd bike discount, even for 3rd party liability when only one bike can be ridden at any one time. So, as much as I'd like to be a collector ...

    Cracked oil filter cover - J-B Weld or replace?

    I know this also belongs on the "Tell on Yourself" thread, and I promise to put it there once my bike is ride-able again. :doh: Even using a torque wrench set at 11 lbs., I managed to over-tighten the oil filter cover bolt and put a couple of cracks in the cover. :shootme: Could it be repaired...

    Tell-On-Yourself Thread

    If some of us are willing to ride our bikes and place them in photos of exotic places, I thought maybe some of us would be self-assured enough to be willing to share "Stupid Me" :doh: Motorcycle Moments. Maybe not. :shrug: The other day I thought I would be doing a thread asking the Forum for...

    How do my plugs look?

    I've put nearly 4,000 kms (2,500 miles) on my Maxima dohc since I got it. Today I pulled the plugs to inspect (photo attached). The one on the left came from the left side cylinder - whose carb has the fuel line input. The one on the right came from the right side cylinder. There is and...

    Ethanol-FREE gas

    Ethanol-free gas? Before I learned the ropes, I hijacked Petei's in-line gas filter thread when I got curious and emailed retailers. I posted the results there instead of starting anew - begging Travis' forgiveness ... Here is a summary of the findings on the hijacked site, and the latest...

    Round-headed Oil-filter Cover-bolt

    I thought I was lucky when I compared the oil change procedures for the DOHC with those for the SOHC. :thumbsup: "This is going to be a snap - undo 2 bolts and pop in a new filter every 2nd change. :rock: The oil drain plug went according to the fantasy - slick as can be. But the filter...

    Are we destined to "graduate" to xs650s?

    Last fall, early on in my return to riding, my SR250 was admired by a member of the Vintage Motorcycle Assoc. of Canada. He told me I should aspire to someday owning an xs650. That was before I discovered xs400s - which still seem to me to be all the "more" that I need. Met several members of...

    Sprockets - Does new bike have the wrong ones?

    Just bought a wonderful XS400 Thurs. The last owner did everything to make it as good as new. All I have to do is ride it - which suits me fine for now as I am 61 and just started up again last fall with an sr250 (after 36 years). I am wondering if a previous owner might have changed the...
