Merry Christmas to everyone!
Santa brought my wife a new project...An 81 XS400H
I haven't seen it yet myself but here are the pictures. We are getting it from the original owner who bought it for $1600 in '82. It looks not bad and as I'm told it only needs a carb cleaning but I plan to give a thorough once over...valve check, oil change, clutch adjustment, carb clean and general spec check on all the clearances. Anywho, I picked up a copy of the manual from this site and am excited to get started.
I'm used to Hondas, I ride a CB750. So I'm not a stranger to motorcycles but I am to Yamahas. However it doesn't seem too bad...it has half the carbs and a quarter of the valves! But any specific areas of caution or concern on these bikes?
