I'm trying to fix a loose backing plate on my tach and I've seen the thread on using 4" heat shrink tubing after the bezels are cut off, but where in the heck do I get the stuff? I've been looking all over. Any know where to get some?

Trying to find a set of headers with the mufflers cut off, preferably with decent chrome, anyone holding?

So just a crazy idea I've been pondering. If I were to build a crankcase to mount 2 xs400 heads on a 45 degree v-twin configuration, would it be possible to get the cylinders to fire in a correct order?

I'm interested in buying these hard saddlebags off my local Craigslist, the guy said they were off of his 77 400, does anyone know if they will mount up on an 81?01111_899jPZI9Sqw_600x450 by kevingkruse posted Mar 30, 2016 at 6:11 PM

So long story short the 2 wires that go to the field coil got ripped out right where they come out of the 2 little holes, I resoldered them, and now when I turn the ignition on it pops my main fuse. I'm wondering if I accidently reversed the wires would this be the cause? I have the green on the...

I've been looking all over the internet with finding some 33mm extended fork tubes for my 1980 xs400, prefereably +4,6,8 or 10 over. Anyone seen any around?

I'm in the process of building the frame for my bobber, I've already got everything taken apart and chopped up, and totally forgot to get some measurements... if anyone could be so kind, I need the measurement from the bottom of the steering head to the ground and the distance between the bottom...

I have an almost complete 1980 xs400 that I am parting out. Everything is apart, engine is completely dismantled. The only things I don't have are the signals, speedo and tach, shifter, and mufflers. The upholstery on the seat is shot but the pan is good. Paint on the tank isn't terrible but its...

So this guy is parting out his 1993 suzuki gsxr 600 and I'm seriously thinking about snaggin the engine, carbs, exhaust and electricals from it and fabricating them into my 400 frame. I wanted to ask if you guys think the 400 frame can handle it if I sturdy it up in some way? Should I look at...

So I've got this 2 stroke 1977 Kawasaki KD100 dirt bike, and as I was lookin at it, I was thinking how cool it would be to have a tiny little cafe racer to fart around on. At the most I could use it as a town bike, but I would like to take it to a big parking lot somewhere and see how sharp I...

So I just recently replaced my butterfly seals, mixture screws and o ring, and enrichment seals, and my bike runs a lot better. However, I just found out I now get about 125 miles per tank, I know this because I just ran out of gas! Luckily I'm right next to a gas station. But before I replaced...

So I've been reading around on how to convert to electronic gauges, I just want to know how you would do it, if anyone has done it here. For the speedo would I just slap a sensor and reader on the front wheel and fork? And for the tach, would I have to get an inductive pickup sensor and connect...

So I bought this stuff to clean my carbs with, its called Barryman B12 Chemtool and you pour it in your gas. I've already taken my carbs apart multiple times and cleaned them multiple ways. I just wanted to try this to see if I missed any passages. My question is that since it sais it contains...

Does anybody know if these 2 seals will fit the 400? Clutch Pushrod Oil Seal - Part #01-9019 Countershaft Oil Seal - Part #01-9021 I sent mikesxs an email but sometimes they don't email me back, or they'll take forever, so I thought I'd ask here too. Thanks a bunch.

Ok, I was always confused on adjusting my valves, so after reading all the threads on it, I tried it for the first time. I adjusted all valves, .004 intake, and .007 exhaust, and my bike starts and seems ok but I want to tell you how I did it and see if I did it wrong or right. So I turned the...

So I took off my engine covers to polish them and upon putting the clutch cover off, the kickstart assembly came out, and I put it back in wrong, it wouldn't spring back, so I took the cover off and put the assembly back in and was wondering if I did it right, so with the cover off (which is...

Hello all. I just purchased a set of mufflers from MikesXS, they are the Universal Megaphone Mufflers 19.7", part# 07-0061. So I'm lookin at it and I'm a little confused on how it connects to the frame, that chrome hanger peice doesn't have a hole in it to connect it to the frame, its just...

If anyone has any back rest/luggage rack combo laying around, I would greatly appreciate it. This would complete my cross country cruiser. Found one, do not reply to this thread

Just to clarify, does this seal work for the 1980 XS400SG gas cap? I've heard that it does and I've heard that it doesn't. Just want to make sure. Thanks http://www.mikesxs.net/product/20-0036.html
