Darn this thing is killing me! I was pulled over for not having it on and received my very own $200 ticket! Huge bummer. I even spent a good amount of time checking it out and I must be missing something. So when I looked at it. There is like 12V of power at the harness (One clip connected to...

It still doesn't work when I run the bike! It seems that there is less power up at the headlight than right when it is from the battery. but thats correct, right?

Whats up! I need some help from the friendly neighborhood gang here! Heres what i tested: Lamp works when connected to battery (left and right plug, not the one in the center) I get readings of power at the headlight harness that connects to the beam Battery is good Switch works great...

pm sent to ya.

Still have this? Need one really bad.

Just wondering, how do you guys mount your cafe seat that is different from the stock seat pan? Pics too are more the welcome you all know!

Well the black thing that you see is the TCI ignition box. The little rotor I the end of the cam spins, nod each time one of the ends I the rotor go Over a designated section of the unit, it creates a spark. There for you can rotate it to advance or retard your ignition. I got new valves for...

Anyone figure out how to mount the breather from Mikesxs?

I might still want these! I'll let you know on Saturday night.

Could you do a compression check and post the numbers? Thanks!

Just a heads up on buying that reed valve from MikesXs - pretty difficult to fit. Can't really figure out how, so if anyone has, or knows how to fit it - post here!

Perfect. One more question before I pull the trigger on buying a head. Are the fins going to be the same from a 1978 XS400 to a 1980 XS400S? Here's the ebay link to the one i'm thinking about...

I'm sorry for the large amount of questions. I've done my researching - I swear I can't find anything. Would a 1978 cylinder head (jugs up) fit onto a 1980 block? (Jugs/ pistons down)?? I just wanna b sure and check if anyone knew. Thanks!

Tell me you still have these! I'm interested and would like to buy them.

Back again! Anyone know where to get new intake valves for an 1980 xs400? Mine are bent and I need new ones! Thanks.

so frustrated... still not starting..:yikes:

Darn, I should have taken a picture when it was all apart.. I would rather not take it back apart unless I know that I need to.. Would it make the bike not run? If you have any other suggestions let me know. I wanna ride this thing so bad.

SOHC sorry. 1980 if that matters?

Another question! Thanks for bearing with me. I'm trying to figure out this cam chain tensioner thing. I understand the one on the frontside (exhaust side.) Now when I pulled my valve cover off today to set my timing (again) because my bike still isn't running, I noticed that the little...

What is this and how is it supposed to be set? The manual says nothing of it, but shows a points system.. I don't know what it is or where to set it! I feel as if it is the reason my bike isn't running. (The black plasticky thing) thanks!
