XS400 Addict
Hello to everyone, as the title states i just purchased a 1978 Yamaha XS400 for my first bike.
I have been looking around for used bikes for a while and was reluctant to purchase such a vintage bike, but for the price (the guy is even delivering it tomorrow), and the fact that this site exists, i couldn't resist it.
Thank you everyone for being such an active community, for coming on here so frequently to share what your knowledge so that when one of these bike pop up used and a beginner like me sees it - they see a world of possibilities for customization and proper maintenance - rather then an old rust bike from the 70s (like 90% of the bikes that show up used).
I will have loads of questions, but only after i have exhausted the countless guides, how-tos and have used the Search function as well as google
Cheers!
