I rode it for a while, a charging issue popped up so I set it to the side and built up my xs650 and road that. So I finally sold it and here is where all the issues started. I went ahead...

I tried kicking it over and it just started for a second then sputtered and died again... There is plenty of gas... The...

Ok, everything has been fine pretty much with everything, I believe my carbs are running a little lean so I kind of have to compensate and not have one of the cylinders sucking so much air so it doesn't just Han out at high rpms but it runs fine doing so since I don't need to go highway speeds...

ok, im looking into springer forks. ive already checked to see if a 650 springer would fit on the 400, but to my knowledge, from asking on this site, the 650 fork is a little longer than the 400. i also heard through another thread that a harley either dyna or DNA springer will fit.. but im...

i was just curious if a 650 fork will fit on a 400. since i dont want to make any adjustments anywhere or have anything custom made...i came across a 650 springer fork and was curious about the size... i figure it is the same diameter but does anybody know if it is the same length? or if it is a...

I have made a similar post about this topic but the information lead me nowhere. But does ANYBODY know if the bobber/chopper wiring harness for a xs650 from mikesxs.net will work on a 1980 yamaha xs400. If not will ANY 650 complete harness work, if so, what year? i already know all about the...
