Ordered new brake shoes. My rear brake stops well enough but I figure for $30 shipped I'm happier knowing exactly when it's been done.
Well, last week i called around and got some quotes on what it would cost to fix up my bike.. and well.. they were far out of what i wanted to pay.
After some deep thought, and a great deal on a reliable running bike on kijiji, i made the decision to sell mine and use the money to pick up a used 2008 Honda CBR 125. I know its not the same, but its reliable and will let me finally get out of my friends garage. Maybe in the future i will pick up another xs400 when i have the space and skill store and wrench it. But for now, i just wanna enjoy the road and my bike was holding that back.
You guys have been a great community, one of the better boards i have been on (and i have been on many boards lol) but now that i have let go of my xs400 i probably won't be popping in to often anymore.
Thanks for a great 8 months! I wish you guys all the best, and better luck then i !
farewell where ever you may fare.
What i did with my 400 was buy it. Bought it for 800 from a very fine gentlemen from riverside, il. has 7.5k miles on it. then i took it home and rode it for a good hour (riding my first bike after i completed the motorcycle course). I can say it's got power.
Depends on what you do with it. Pulling away at the lights I won dragraces with stuff like porsches..
