Hi

New here. Picked up this 81 xs400. Good shape. Runs good.

I notice that after running for a bit the rear tail light lens is really hot from the bulbs. Is this normal?

Cheers

Actually I figured it out. Turns out the front brake lever was causing the brake lights to be on all the time thus over heating the rear tail light. Seems ok now after an adjustment
 
Nice looking stock bike. You don't see them like this much anymore.
 
Hi

Thanks. Yeah I have been keeping an eye out for a while but anything that came up for sale near me had either been bobbered or Café.

I wanted stock as I had a 79 xs400 back in the day. This is a pretty close match to that bike

Cheers
