Hey XS400 just wanting to say hi and join in on this great forum. Ok so recently I got myself an 82 xs400r, got lucky and was able to trade car parts for it. Although with that I needed to help rebuild the bike, that ok though because I was able to learn a lot about this bike and become very familiar with it. Ive had it for about 2 weeks now and have fallen in love with it, its my first bike, besides that I think it is a great looking bike especially for its age. Ive been riding every single chance I get. While reassembling I needed to replace a few small parts like the both carb jets and the gasket for the bowls, new chain, and flush out the front brake. Other than that everything else was in great condition... It also came with a new battery 
. The bike itself has 25,000 miles on it but it seems to want to just keep on running. got unlicky with it last night though the rear brake arm had gotten loose while riding and when I went to use the brake it fell off and snapped my rod and tore the arm that applys the shoes. Found a whole new assembly for 20 bucks shipped to my house hopefully get here before the weekend. cant wait, while reading a few things on this forum I believe I read something about jet position as far as how far they are tightened into the holes them selves, while I was reassembling these I didn't know that this needed to be done and just snugged them too the bottom
. Its been running fine but it seems to almost loose a tiny bit of power between 5-7 rpms, not sure if this is just me or if its the way the bike is. Been getting decent milage out of it went 200 miles and still had 1.7 gallons left.
sorry for the long post just wanted to get everything off any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
