For Sale - 1982 XS400SJ –Project or Parts Bike With Title - $395 CDN

[63-Coupe]

SOLD!!!!!

I bought this as a running project bike. I was having issues starting my other bike due to low compression so I wanted this one primarily for the engine. I have now swapped the engines and this is what I have left. It’s a complete bike with a clean title.

The Good

• Front tire is good
• Front brake appears to be good
• Rear tire is passable
• All electrics work
• Electric starter works
• Seat is recovered but in good shape
• Showing 11,600 miles, about 18,000 km on odometer. That’s what’s on the bike, not the engine.
• The engine in it now was running up to storing it last fall, did not burn or leak oil.
• It will fire with a shot of starter fluid but I don’t want to make a habit of it.
• This is a complete bike, as pictured, not a pile of parts.
• Clean title. This is an Ontario title and bike will be sold with an Ontario UVIP (Used Vehicle Information Package)

The Bad

• It now has the engine in it from my original bike which I used until last fall. Odometer read 24,000+ km, about 15,000 miles when removed.
• Not currently running, would not start this spring
• The compression is around 90 & 120 I’m guessing it’s a valve issue
• Carburetors need to be done
• This bike has hit something, not a major hit but a hit nonetheless.
• Handlebar is off center
• LR turn signal broken
• Has aftermarket 2 into 1 exhaust

The Ugly

• Gas tank has major dent, although does not appear to be leaking
• Considerable rash on handlebar
• Rash on gauge housings but they are working

I have tried to represent this bike as honestly as I can. It’s all there and includes a clean legitimate title. I am open to realistic cash offers, money talks. If I cannot get a reasonable price I will strip it of the good or hard to get stuff to keep for myself as spares and scrap the rest. Not interested in parting it out at this time.

U.S. RESIDENTS PLEASE NOTE: This bike is located and registered in Ontario, Canada. I will cooperate by signing whatever papers are required but you are responsible to arrange for importation into the U.S.A.

would you be willing to sell the frame/headtube along with the title? if so, I would be VERY interested.

Sorry, noted it as sold at the top of the post when it went last Fall.

Coincidentally, I just came through Knoxville this morning on my way home from Florida. Hope you did not get any of that forecasted nasty weather & tornadoes later in the day.

a bit of nasty came through this afternoon, but we never did get the tornadoes that they were predicting...(whew!). I guess i did not see the note that it was sold...oops!
