It's time to upgrade the binders on the 360. Once the MC arrive from China I'll measure and order a stainless line from Apex that will fit better with the clubmans. In the meantime the engine is coming out to put two helicoils on the intake of the head.

I don't mean off the bike, I mean both rear pads unglued and came off the shoe. I was on a test ride for other reasons and was really giving her the beans, when I noticed my rear brakes would grab hard near the end of the pedal's travel. I could feel a pulse in the pedal. At low speeds it would...

I suspect my TCI unit has failed. The symptom of no spark is on the right cylinder only. I've done all the tests I can think of on the other parts and they all show normal. Coils spec'd out OK but one was high but still sparks. Pick up coil normal. The failed spark follows the coil harness when...

I'm fed up with paying extra cash to mount my online tire purchases at motorcycle shops. I'm an old dirt bike guy and have changed tires with hand tools many many times. I can't do that anymore because it causes me back pain that lasts for days. I'm researching cheap tire changers, specifically...

It was just a tad cold, roads a bit slippery too.

This shock was taken off a running 1982 Vision. It has been on my shelf for a few years. It is in very good condition, no leaks, spring not rusty. It measures 12 1/2 inches eye to eye and is adjustable 5 ways. This would be a good alternate for a modified project Maxim, Seca or whatever you...

This came off an XS360. I am not sure if it will fit early 400's but it does not fit the Specials. It's a nice period piece that is in very good overall condition with the chrome rated at 7/10. They are hard to find as I took months to uncover this nice one. I wanted to offer it here before...

Something is amiss at Mikes, is he out of business in Canada? When you check out your cart it won't let you process your order. Also two emails went unanswered. The prices on the website are old and have not been updated like they usually are. For instance the prices always reflect the changing...

I sold my 1982 XS400 Heritage Special recently and I wanted to get another project so I found this '82 XS400 for sale. I got it from another XS400.com member, VIEIRA. He lives about an hour and a half away. He's a good guy, was forthright and helpful. I started taking it apart before I thought...

I pulled the lead from the plug cap so I could determine the cap resistance, but could not find normal values in the manual. I have an '82 so have electronic ignition and would assume 5K ohms resistance is normal, but can anyone confirm this as so. BTW both measured as 9K resistance, typical for...

Hello, nice forum you have here. I live in SW Ontario in the Lower Great Lakes Region. Yesterday I dragged an '82 Heritage Special home. As you know it is the last of the SOHC. It has been sitting for two years and the PO didn't know anything about bikes and never rode it. It did run on one...
