For Sale - 1983 XS400 Maxim DOHC

[MechanicalDad]

Hi all,
I was riding this bike last summer, and it was running fine. Unfortunately the starter idler gear inside the crankcase let go, and it is now unstartable. The gear binds in the transmission, and of course without the starter connected to the gearing, it won't start anyway.
I am in Scarborough, Maine, just south of Portland.
I have begun parting it out, and still have lots of good stuff left.

Thanks!

Steve

Parts gone: Tank, seat, pickup coils, carbs, tach cable, clutch cable, exhaust, ignition with key.

If you have the oil element cover I would kill for that. Unfortunately I cracked mine and without it my bike wont run. I just finished building my bike and I broke that part, so can you help me out? PLEASSSEEEEE say yes

You do know original JB Weld will fix that if you clean it and mix and cure properly and if it can still be made to fit right ksqrly? I hope you get your proper part but I have repaired the side cover of a 1974 KZ400 where a wrong kick starter cracked the case. That bike never leaked a drop of oil. I laid down a Honda CB360T and did the same to it, never leaked a drop either. Whats more I didn;t even open the case, just laid it on it's side and dish soap cleaned and wire brushed the cracks real good.

tried JB weld and it didnt hold. Not saying that I did it the best that I could have. but it was very hard to get the aluminum completely clean. Im guessing after years off sitting the oil soaked into the soft aluminum making it hard to get a completely clean surface. I imagine putting heat to it would have helped but I fortunately got the part.

I am in Scarborough, Maine, just south of Portland. I will part it out if I don't get a reasonable offer, so let me know if you want dibs on a part.

Thanks!

Steve

Edit: I have definitely gotten more requests for parts than reasonable offers for the whole bike, so I am parting it out. I will keep a running tally of what is actually sold here. Thanks.

What do have left on the 400 Yamaha ? Shawn South Portland ... 641-7305

[MechanicalDad]

PM responded!

 

[tlm9407]

Do you have carburetor boots (carb to engine) available? If so, can you PM me and send pics?

 

[MechanicalDad]

Hello, Pretty sure I do. I will double check and send you a PM tomorrow.
Thanks,
Steve

 

[BigDick]

Are the Carbs available? How much?

 

[MechanicalDad]

Sorry, the Carbs have already been shipped out. I have the boots left, and just tonight I wrestled the airbox out of the frame.
Sorry,
Steve

 

[overpl]

Ignitor unit aka. TID (CDI/module)? have it? how much?

 

[Garrettoleksy]

This probably is a dead thread but new here and I'm looking for side covers. The piece that comes from the bottom of the gas tank and attaches like under the seat and also what covers the cdi and regulator panel. If that makes any sense. I have a 1983 xs400 maxima

 

[MechanicalDad]

Not dead yet! haha

I believe I have the right side "swoop" that comes off the gas tank, but already sold the left.
I will try to get out there tomorrow and get you some pictures.

Thanks!

Steve

 

[Garrettoleksy]

I'm looking for the side that the battery is on color and condition does not matter.

What's the tank like?.. Can I get a few pics plz
