You may be an XS400 owner...

...if you said to yourself, "I'm gonna go change those spark plugs", and several hours later your ENTIRE BIKE is spread from your driveway to your front porch to your back porch, and the frame, gas tank, and wheels are sitting in your yard, waiting to go to sandblasting for a FULL F'ING REBUILD. SMDH!

...if you took the carbs off and removed the bowls and they 'look clean', so you swear on everything that is holy and good to anyone within earshot and on the internet that "it can't possibly be the carbs, they 'look clean'".

...if you play the lottery JUST so you can buy those parts you so "desperately" need to get her all back together just like you imagined.


...(followup) if you wonder whether or not you hit the lottery you'd buy a new bike or finish the 400...about the same price, eh?
 
...if you've ever thought to your self "pods will make it 650 fast".

...if you've ever said to yourself: "what do the Yamaha engineers know? An electrical engineering degree is no substitute for a 12th grade education and the internet."

...if you've ever said: "it can't be the carbs; I just cleaned them."
 
... if you have spent countless hours re-jetting and syncing your carbs to get rid of misfires and vibrations only to find that your TCI module has been slowly dieing...
