    Tank swap (non XS tanks)

    I'm trying to find a second tank for my bike and I'm pretty sure I won't find an xs400 tank in Ukraine, neither drop style nor the boxy one (which won't fit anyway). Does anyone know if there's any other model I could try? Preferably it has to be a direct fit or at least with very minor mods...

    Need advice on rear shocks

    Right now I have pair of Taiwanese 365mm shocks which are extremely stiff even under my 100kg (220lbs) weight. My back is starting to hurt. Can anyone advise a pair of similar 360-365mm decent shocks? I was trying to find something on Hagon, but they do not have a search by size feature...

    What piston pin for xs400se?

    I'm looking for a pair of new piston pins as one of the two I have now is short and the other is bent. I tried looking at boats.net, but they don't have SE version on their site, so I wonder, which pins from which model would fit? Any ideas? Thank you!

    Speedometer gear and forks

    I have this weird problem with the speedometer gear. Both the gear and forks look stock to me, but the pin on the fork does not fit in the gap on the gear and it rotates on the wheel. The pin is smaller and ends before reaching the gear. I want to fix that but I am not sure what should I be...

    No gasket needed? Cylinder head leaking

    I've noticed that I have a leak from the right side of the engine. Right side is also running very lean, the spark plug is almost white while the left side has a a thick black coat. I'm quite far away from the bike now and that is not the picture of my engine but I marked the leak area...

    Wanted - 18" Front an rear rims (spokes)

    Does anyone have a set of front and rear 18inch wheels? I want to fit them on a xs400se and even though I have a disc front brake I'm willing to buy a drum brake version. In case you just have a rear 18 inch cast wheel with drum brake, I would eagerly buy that one. I am aware of high...

    Rear wheel sprocket dampers

    While taking off the rear wheel to fit a set of new sprockets and a new chain I noticed that the old sprocket was no holding on firmly in it's place. It was wobbling quite hard. After I took it off I noticed that the rubber dampers were completely ruined because the sprocket appeared to be...

    I'm looking for an oil cover and a bolt that should look something like that I've never seen it personally, as when I bought the bike it already had this cover missing and some auto filter installed instead.

    Help with exact model identification

    Hello guys! I'm about to buy an xs 400 in a couple of days, but I would just like to clarify what exactly I'm buying. The bike is listed as a 1988 yamaha xs 400 (the same is in the paperwork), but it doesn't look like one, or does it? If it's an older one, I might be able to ask the guy to...
