    Pressure Plate Bolt Torque

    So I'm jumping in here late with a related question about my 82 xs400 seca regarding torque on the big 30mm nut that holds the whole basket assembly on. I had to replace the entire hub and want to make sure I get that nut back on right. Because of the circlip it looks like I can go either kinda...

    Any chance you know what size that nut is? I realized I'll need to buy a socket and I'm picking up the impact and compressor today.

    Yep. I was thinking big ass chisel. I use them at work so easy to get my hands on.

    What model is this XS400 exactly?

    I stumbled on a post about history of these bikes and it looked like less than 6000 were produced in Germany!? I'm curious how limited (or not) production/ distribution was in the States. Seems like the 82 seca overall was somewhat in a class of its own which as I'm learning - now that mine is...

    That's what I was afraid of... what tank do you have that might fit? My issue might come down to some serious welding and frame work. My bike is very wide and I have very short legs. Eventually I want to a fork swap that should lower it all a bit. Any thoughts there? I also just like the...

    I wish! Haha the whole housing is fubar... I have a new hub assembly to put in and now just have to wrestle the main nut off. I think if I can get it into gear it'll go OK. I might try to reuse the clip on that nut if possible. Not sure if they're universal.

    You had me at redneck! I think I'll give that a go. Since I know it's possible to get it into gear, that's worth a shot, right? Thanks a bunch for your responses. You're the only person in this forum and fb group to even acknowledge my posts. Do you also have an 82 seca? I'm learning (with...

    I'm interested in the gas tank.

    Wanted - XS400 seca gas tank

    As soon as I can find a tank I like for my SECA, I'll happily sell you mine! It's definitely a good Scrambler shape - my husband considered putting it on his Virago project build but I think he changed his mind. Just has a little paint there on the right side but it should buff out.

    So I got in there and found one of the bolts on the hub completely sheared off and then I guess someone gave up, threw the oil back in and sold it?! So now I'm wondering about keeping the basket from spinning when I try to remove that big (maybe 24mm? Haven't thrown the caliper on it yet) nut...

    How about this for a reason to rebuild the clutch?

    Clutch Rebuild Sheared Bolt

    Well have any of y'all seen this? Looks like someone sheared off one of the bolts and then buttoned it back up?! The plates actually looked decent (didn't bother measuring thickness since I'd already ordered new ones) and I have a new basket/hub assembly on the way. I talked to a Yamaha shop...

    Seat

    Looking for ideas/ recommendations for a nice thin seat. I'll go custom at a later date but want something very thin asap. Thanks!

    Interesting. OK. I can swap it out. I was just trying to find the post where like five people recommended 10w-40. Looks like most folks seem to agree on 20w-50 semi-synth so I'll grab that instead. Thanks, y'all.

    Mine is made for wet clutch bikes. I'm not in Arizona - didn't think I needed oil that heavy.
