XS400 Addict
Hi all, I am a newbie just joined not too long ago after i was refered here from another forum called 607riders.com. I am very exited to have found this site and noticed that you guys want a little bit of an intro so i figured i would post up. I am 19, i live in upstate new york and last summer i bought a 1980 xs400 special as my first bike for $600. I love this bike for my first bike because it is so small and easy to handle although i have been riding since i was 16 i still think a small starter bike was a good decision. The only problem i had with the bike was it was leaking oil right onto the chain. Although this made for a little less maintanence it was getting all over the rear wheel and everything else for that matter. So this winter i tore the engine down and put a comple gaskit kit in it and i had a blast! So since this is getting so long i will end it at that haha thanks for putting together such a great resource for us!!
