I am looking to put full effort to get my bike going. The motor needs a full rebuild wondering if any one has a build on this or on some direction i should take all input would be great.
So you don't forget, some of us might not remember what you driving, otherwise, Use the word build for a search word in the Photos, I remember one of us did a step by step, with a pre 1980 bike. http://www.xs400.com/media/albums/228/
ThePsuedoMonkey was the one I was thinking of. 187 photos
This should get you started. I did my rebuild (standard bore rings are really expensive, like 140 a pair) I just downloaded the PDF of the manual on the site, printed it and used that. The if I had a problem I searched the forum, there's almost everything you need. Lemme know if you got any problems. And don't Misalign the tranny gears. Or bolt the cases together w/ no gasket material lol.
Made some progress today got the cases all cleaned up and started to get everything inline to put back together. The only question I might have is should i replace the couplers under and over the the crank
Bc, that was very polite of you, since until we've seen them almost everyone thinks of spherical bearings instead of ring bearings like those you taught our friend about.
Bearings are smooth surfaces to reduce friction, Not necessarily spheres!
