Yes it is insane. And the tank is mounted normally I think. Compare it with the one standing just behind (on the right) :laugh:

Well, some guy probably living just around the corner is selling this XS360. I know it is bad photo but i like it. Wondering if he is on this forum :umm:

Well, fuel filter is really cheap and easy way how to avoid cleaning carbs every now and then, so i would install it. It is worth those 30 Kč and 3 minutes of work. That the starter doesn´t move is weird. Electrical issues? But starting at 3rd try is not bad though. But look up this forum...

Welcome to the forum. Finally someone bought it!

:thumbsup: And how about Triumph Scrambler? I like it more though.

I believe the cap must be on while bleeding. At least i couldn´t make it work any other way :confused:

Is the cap sealing well? I had this problem that the cap was not sealing well so there was no pressure, but the piston (although still original) worked well so it was "bubling" when opened. Hope it´s not your case cause the rubber seal is discontinued and hard to find.

Thanks for the write-up! It worked great!

So I went with my XS400D on a first longer ride after I went through almost (!) the whole bike because it was sitting for unkown period of time. However i didn´t dig into the bottom of the engine, just the top. :banghead: After about 5 kilometers today the engine just made a loud bang and stuck...

This is beautiful! I am not into these builds but this one looks great. But where is the CX500 tank? IMHO it could be even better with it.

Great you solved it:thumbsup:

When stored under right conditions, tyres can be sold as new if they are not older than 5 years. This applies to UK, Germany and most of Europe. In my opinion 3 years are not a big deal if they were not used.

Now it is time to look to the manual and play with multimeter some more and find where exactly is the problem. Good luck

I haven´t seen a thread for testing battery/charging but it is very simple. Also you can find it in a manual. Just set your multimeter to V(Volts), 20V range will be enough unless it is set automaticaly. Then just connect red lead to red(+) and black to black(-) to ground it. The battery...

But have you tested the voltage? And if it is getting about 14,5 V when the bike is running? My bike was doing only something like 13,5 V and after few minutes riding my flashers didn´t flash when the front light was on.

Also check the battery and charging would be my advice. Takes 2 minutes with multimeter. Then you can look for a bad ground as Dave said.

I don´t use any gasket nor yamabond. Just clean well the surfaces and tighten the bolts according to manual and it should be sealing fine. That is my experience so far.

Nice bike. You can also try to ask your Yamaha dealer for info about the number on the engine to find out the year and type exactly (My bike should be 1977 according to info here but dealer found it is 1978). BTW How the hell did the Jawa (350 Californian) get into Australia?!

Thanks for reply (much faster than mine actualy). But this lock is exactly what I didn´t mean. Maybe I better post pics. It is on the frame and not in the main switch as your. This is what i mean. It is pretty rusty I know, but only from outside. And it moves easily but only about 1/4...

Hi guys! I´ve got a question for you. Hope someone can help. My handlebar lock probably doesn´t work, or at least I couldn´t make it work so i wanna remove it and see what is wrong. But how am I supposed to do it? It is i believe the, so called, Neiman lock (got 2A2/1977) which is in...
