Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum and wanted to introdruce myself and my project. My name is johnnie, I'm twenty one years... Actually twenty two years old as of eight days ago. I work as property manager of eight apartment buildings for my 9-5 and anywhere in between im building one thing or the other. My bike Is a 1980 xs400 I bought it along with another frame and a box of parts, about a month. It was not running but I was told it only need a battery...yea right! After a battery, a fuse, and finding the fuel tank with rust in it. I setup a fuel bottle and got her to run... For a few minutes anyway. But at least it's "proof of concept".
A carb rebuild, cleanIng and coating of the inside the gas tank... Some knee dents for good measure. Maybe a fiberglas tail.And a good tuning... Any tips on tuning the xs would be much appreciated. As I am new in this area. I have pics of the work I have already done but apparently I can't post them from my iPad. Any ideas. Thanks everyone
