I fixed this 1982 XS400S to riding condition after it sat in a garage for over 10 years. After riding it for 3 months it was vandalized and I don't want to do all the work again. The tank is dented and scratched a little and the brake handle is broken (pictures to follow). I put new tires on...

WELCOME!! I'm just down the road from you a bit. My bike actually came from GR and it was clean enough to ride it to Lansing... Not nearly as clean as yours, but I'm working on it. ENJOY :thumbsup:

Taking the bike apart to paint and clean it.

Thanks for bragging!!!! :thumbsup: I think I'm going to get right on doing the same thing! I saw a post that said that the electrical system was weak, so I checked mine and sure enough, the glass fuse holders are about ready to crack and fall out... So thanks for making it easy for me :D

Stellar job! I'm really impressed with how clean it looks!

So if I tie the clutch handle to the handlebar over night and if the clutch push rod is broken, will that make it worse? Can I easily check the push rod before tying it down? How many ways can I say "thanks," you guys rock!

This is great advice!! Thank you so much! I'm going to give it a try and I'll keep you posted. I don't even know what I don't know yet so this is great!!!

I have an '82 X400 Heritage Special. It's been sitting in my brother-in-law's garage for the last 10 years. This is my first bike... After my friend got a new carb for me I rode the bike home (70miles). The only uncomfortable part of the ride was my left hand because the clutch is really hard...
