    How much would you want for the exhaust? I just need a header for the right hand side, but understand if you don't want to split it up.

    Wanted - Right hand side exhaust header

    Just need the header preferably with the muffler cut off to save on shipping. If you don't want to split up a set let me know how much you'd want for a pair! My bike is a 1981 special. Cheers

    Running hotter on one cylinder

    Haven't had much time to get on this lately but here are some pictures. Flange looks a bit bent? Collars are kind of fubar'd looking as well This also seems odd to me. The left side has about a 1/4" gap between the flange and head of the motor. I did not toque down the right side...

    Running hotter on one cylinder

    Didn't have much time tonight so will try to post pictures tomorrow, but I took the right header/exhaust off and the gasket looked fine, but the flange looks a bit convex and one of the collars looks a bit concave on the end with the flange. Hope that makes sense haha. I'll try going one...

    Running hotter on one cylinder

    Exhaust leak is where the header pipe meets the head of the motor. I thought it was sealed fine, until I tried turning the pilot screw out to enrich the right cylinder and it started smoking a bit (from idling too rich) and some smoke was shooting out right at the motor. Tonight I'll try to get...

    Running hotter on one cylinder

    Any tips for putting on exhaust gaskets? The left side sealed fine, but the right didn't. I have another gasket to put in so that will be my first priority, then I will double check the valves. The carbs are definitely in sync. Those temps were taken on the actual exhaust so next time it's...

    Running hotter on one cylinder

    I have had a slow leisurely project 1981 xs400 for the last two years. Purchased it non running, and slowly went through electrical system, carbs, and petcock. It starts/idles fine but the right cylinder runs way hotter than the left. With an infra-red thermometer the right header pipe (right...

    Replacing idiot light cluster with LED's?

    I have read and read but the problem is almost all of what I've found is about replacing the actual turn signals with LED's, but what I'd like to accomplish is replacing the turn signal indicators (and oil pressure, neutral) with LED's. I am not so great with wiring (especially modifying) but a...
