    And then there was five.

    Where do you find these cheap bike's? Here in England, a basket case would cost in the region of £750.00 (GBP) The bike on my profile cost me £1100.00! and I later found out that the coil's and CDI unit were on their way out!

    New XS Project

    Your not kidding, IF I could get one is such good condition over here, for a price like you paid, I'd have ripped his arms off, to get the keys, and paperwork, from him! Merlin _/\_

    1982 xs400j dohc carb's needed urgently!

    Thank's Jeff, I can't get many maxim spares here in England! My bike is a Canadian grey import, anyway, so it's apt that the carbs come from your part of the world! How much do you want for a pair of those carbs, then Jeff? The approximate cost of shipping would be of great help to me too...

    Hi there fellow xs nutz! I find myself needing a matched pair of carb's, for my 1982 xs400j maxim!

    Carbs Leaking Like Crazy

    By draining your carbs, everything has dried out, the float needles have stuck in the wide open positions! The only way to cure it is to dismantle the carbs, and free then manually! Merlin

    top end swap??? , xs360 and xs400 top ends

    DON'T just change the camshaft, the lobes are higher, and you run the risk of bending your valve stems, just by turning the engine over! Is it worth ruining your engine just to save a few quid, and a few hours in the workshop? DON'T DO IT! Swap the top end over, and ALWAYS err, on the safe...

    Front brake, what's going on here?

    The first thing I'd do, is to strip the caliper down, then clean and oil those carrier pins, as the pads can't move freely on them, that alone will cause the uneven pad wear! Then change all of the seals in the caliper, making sure that the piston, can move freely under pressure. Merlin

    STUPID,VERY STUPID

    IF, you don't replace the sprockets, you will forever be buying new final drive chains! It's false economy not to replace the whole final drive, chainset (chain and both sprockets) still it's your choice! But just imagine your new chain jumps the sprocket, and locks your rear wheel? Best case...

    I got my replacement yoke, from eBay, there seemed to be plenty of them on there, at reasonable prices too! Shipping cost will be less for you too, being in Canada, as mine had to be shipped over to England! Merlin

    What model of the XS 400 do i have ?

    Hi Noah, with the 12E motor, it will be an XS400 Seca, as the Maxim has the 12R motor, the main difference being the Seca has a six (6) speed gearbox (transmission), whereas the Maxim has a rive (5) speed transmission I hope this has been of help to you? Merlin

    My XS360 build finished....finally!!!

    Your 360 sounds exactly like my maxim! I actually expected ror your engine to sound a bit tighter? Or is that just me? Thinking everything is tight, after a rebuild? No matter, you do good work, keeping another old beauty, on the road! Merlin

    Twisted Lower Triple Tree?

    DON'T try twisting it back, the casting has been compromised, and it will likely weaken it further! Get another bottom yoke (tripple tree) I may have a straight one, depending on the stantion size? I think the one I have is for 32mm stantions, I brought it by mistake, when I found a crack in the...
