I searched around and didn't quite find a definitve answer to my question, so i ask in a new thread: I have a 1982 xs400j Maxim DOHC. When replacing the clutch plates should I do both the fiber and steel plates or can i just do the fiber plates? I believe the steel plates are ok since the...

Hey everyone, I'm back. I was here about 4-5 years ago making some good progress on my 1982 xs400j DOHC project, but life progressed and took over my time. Back then I was engaged then newly married so I had a lot of time on my hands. Then I had a kid, happiest day of my life! ...Then a...

So I've put in a shorter monoshock on my bike and now I need to shorten the side stand. My biggest issue is I don't know how to weld, nor do I have a welder. If anybody has any recommendations on how to shorten it or other bikes that have shorter sidestands that are compatible I'm all ear. I...

Looking for the headlight trim ring since mine is bent and busted to the point it won't fit inside the bucket anymore. If you have one I'd appreciate a pm with some pics and price. Shipped to 98226. Thanks all :)

Well, looks like working on the bike is gonna take a back seat. I'M GONNA BE A DADDY!!!! If you can't tell I'm beyond excited. Currently, it's the waiting game. But, probably, within the next 12-24 hours my baby boy with be born. Had to say something since it's my first and couldn't keep...

Ok, so I'm gonna do a dual disc conversion on my 82 DOHC maxim and have searched, read, re-read, and virtually memorized the threads I could find on the site. The parts I'm using are from a '97 FZR600 (at least that's what the auction said...) I have both front calipers, the m/c (came with...

I've looked around on the site and thought i saw there was an 18" mag wheel with a drum brake:shrug:. I have an 82 xs400j DOHC and would like to replace my 16" rear wheel with an 18". If it exists and someone has one for sale, shoot me a price and we'll see what we can do. Thanks all :thumbsup:

Hi everyone!! So, I did a search and found a couple dual disc threads, but didn't find the answer I was looking for. I have a great chance of getting the forks and triple off a '79 xs1100, but I don't know if they will fit my '82 xs400 dohc. Can I just swap out the whole frontend or are the...

Looking for the starter motor for a 1982 xs400 DOHC Maxim. Not sure if other model bikes fit. The original motor is a Mitsuba SM-7. I searched for a while and it looks like the Mitsuba YS-7 is it's current replacement. Just seeing if I can grab a working one for cheap. Thanks all. :bike:

Hey all, I'm looking to get a new set of Mikuni bs34's for my '82 xs400 maxim (DOHC). When doing a major overhaul/cleaning I dropped the left body:doh: (the side the fuel line connects to) and one of the float posts broke. I looked into fixing/replacing the post itself, but it wasn't just the...

Hello to all. Sorry if this is in the wrong thread topic. So here's my dillema, I've searched around the web and have found too many gasket sets NOT for my bike. I have a 1982 XS400J DOHC. I already purchased a gasket set from ebay stating it was for the xs400j 77-82, turns out it's not for...

Hi All, I"m new to the site and, first, would like to thank you all for the info you have provided to myself and others. Just a warning, this will probably be a longer post.... A little background on my project. I have a 1982 XS400J that currently does not run. Things I have done...
