    Like a challenge? Try and solve what's wrong with my Bike.....

    Id thoroughly clean the carbs again if they haven't been touched in 2 months. Fuel thats trapped in the passages can gunk up over time. Lots of carb cleaner and compressed air. Electrical problem sounds unlikely if you got the bike to sputter, and assuming all lights came on etc. Also make...

    Help with valve check on maxim 400 dohc?

    Im reading the manual but I'm having trouble getting accurate readings for the valve clearances. I'm unsure as to what the position of the cam lobes should be. i know its supposed to be opposite of the bucket. But if I point the cam lobe exactly opposite the bucket it doesn't line up with the...

    New to the site just got an xs400 maxim!

    Thats a nasty hole in the piston! I think this happened because a previous owner was running the bike on one cylinder without any real combustion happening in one of the cylinders for a long time maybe?? This would unbalance the crankshaft causing it to get uneven. Over time this unevenness...

    81 xs400 died on throttle

    Make sure that when you cleaned the carbs that you took out the main nozzle jet and shot compressed air and carb cleaner through the connecting passages. Its the biggest piece of brass that runs down the middle of the carb. you have to push it out with a pencil or something. This piece seems to...

    For Sale - Maxim 400 - Arizona $250 obo.

    I'd let it go now for like 600. All it needs is the front brake master cylinder to be filled and bled. Maybe a little carb tuning. But other than that its running good, starts up easily every time. I've driven it around town several times. Still needs a new gas cap and ignition switch with keys...

    Stuck on electrical problem in wire harness

    Didn't tape any connections together. I mounted the solenoid to the frame with electrical tape. Ive checked and re checked for any lose wires/metals touching the frame.

    Stuck on electrical problem in wire harness

    DOHC My starter button won't get the solenoid to crank the starter, BUT when i hit the start button, the head light cuts out like its supposed to so I don't think theres an electrical issue at the starter button. It all worked perfectly fine a couple days ago, but after taping up some of the...
