Sorry i forgot to put pictures of my beautiful bar-ends that I put on a little while ago. I havent been on the forum for a while. Feedback is welcome!

This just started last night. My blinkers are only working on my right side. Could this be caused by anything other then a bad turn signal switch?

I'm looking to replace my rubber stock pegs with all metal pegs (both driver/passenger). Anyone know where I might find some that are compatible with my xs400r?

I have a 1981 xs400s and the kick start lever snapped on me last night. I'm finding plenty of xs650 kick start levers but none for the xs400. Does anyone know if the xs650 fits on the xs400?

I was working on the speedometer and tachometer, switched out the bulbs with LEDs. 've just gotten the bike working after some other issues with the coils. But now the tachometer is not as responsive, when idling. Tomorrow I am going to take it out for a test ride, if it doesn't look like...

Hey all help! - so this will sound newbie and yes this is first conversion and bike in 10 years, took it for fact without paying attention when ordering new clutch and brake levers w(with hydraulics) that the bike has hydraulics, BUT they are not are they? I see no hydraulics, just straight...

Just wondering how many of us ride with mirrors and how many don't. if you do what kind do you use? If you don't why not? is it legal? I ride with stock ones.

I just replaced my oil seals and when I reassembled everything my speedo was not working. I think the piece that the speedo cable screws into (on the hub) got pulled out half an inch so I pressed it back in flush with a vice. However, it still does not work. If I spin the cable with my...

I pulled the carbs this afternoon to install the new boots I'd received. No problems there, easy to do. I got it all put back together with pod filters, gave it a couple kicks and it started right up. I let it idle for a little bit then reached for the throttle to no response! It didn't...

Hi All, I am helping my brothers' school (reform school?) by trying to find him a neiman lock in the pile of parts I have, but would appreciate a detailed picture of one if anyone here has one. Are they simular to XJ650 locks, ignition switches? thanks all, michel

Hi, Looking to replace the stock tach with something smaller, does anyone know the what ratio I should be looking for in a tach? thanks!

I did this project on my 1982 Seca 400, but it is applicable to all the models. This is just a refurbishment of sticky, grumbly, stiff stock steering bearings. This is not a conversion to tapered roller bearings. To begin with, my bike's steering was stiff and notchy. You could feel a...

81 xs400 special with disk front what do you think?? :shrug::shrug: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2-Motorcycle-Clutch-Brake-Levers-Set-7-8-Handlebars-/120782821194?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c1f37974a

My current gear lever has lots of play in it and based on the angles of it, hits my exhaust when I shift down. I found this: http://compare.ebay.com/like/200654319022?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y All I really care about is where it slips on to the splined gear...

So this weekend i took a trip to a rally in watkins glen ny and had my throttle cable break on me. I have been looking up a replacement one online and find the cheapest one to be at z1enterprises.com. However i have had trouble in the past with things not being the right part for the right...

My brake light does not light up. On occasion it will light up with the brake lever but it kind of flicks on and off as i pull the lever farther. It does not light up at all with the foot brake. I suspect that some contact point has worn off or something. Is there a common part that wears out or...

OK, so I've had my '80 XS400G for a whole 10 days now, and it's moody throttle is my only complaint and I would love to be able to fix it. When I start my bike and take off, the first time I get on the throttle (turning out of my driveway and onto the street most of the time) the throttle...

Only my 2nd post and I'm looking for help. Be warned, it won't be the last time, I'm sure. :shrug: Anyway, I just bought my first cycle, a not-yet-running '82 XS400J Maxim that's in need of TLC. The issue involves the tranny. It seems to be stuck in neutral. The pedal moves up & down a bit...

I'm new to motorcycles and was curios to know what is the RPM sweat spot for my bike. The gauge cluster red lines at 10,000 rpm and my spedo red lines at 55. Never seen a red line on a spedo before. Can someone explain what this means and what is the ideal rpm to cruise at. Like in a car it...
