I have hit my first snag. After looking at the Chinese combo unit again, I noticed It does not claim to be compatible with a ‘78 xs400. It only claims to work on ‘82 and ‘83. Those are Years that Yamaha used a combo reg/rec unit as stock in the xs400. I’m beginning to think that separate...

Hi, I've been away for a bit. Some of you may have seen my you tube video for setting the timing that I made a few years ago. I bought another xs400 last year after a brief and stormy relationship with a Harley. Never again. My battery box was nasty because of a leaky battery somewhere in...

Thank you bc. It worked well.

Its been a while... but I'm back b**tches. Any of you smarty pants think they can match the bolts to the holes? I thought I saw this thread before but I'm too lazy to keep looking. Maybe once it is labeled it could be moved to the permanent maintenance section. Thanks. You guys rock.

I like 2 stroke engine oil. Its bright blue.

Haven't checked in here in a while but I love the 360 questions. I swapped engines on my 360 and the replacement engine I bought did not have a starter. I was able to swap the starter in with only minor headaches. The hardest part was removing the flywheel to install that crankshaft...

Why do people always take the centerstand off? At least have the courtesy to keep it for the next owner. My current bike didnt have one either. After a week of fiddling with some two by fours and a car jack I gave up. It wound up being one of the first OF MANY nickle and dime things I...
