Gotta clear out my (Friend's :thumbsup:) Garage. Stopped at Vintage smoke to pick up rearsets. Hot damn! Better than I thought. Full bearings, great machining work, teflon bearing heim joints, Top notch!! Pipe is a SpecII F-1 (Yea, gotta go with a chamber for the ring ding dinger :laugh:)...

I don't ride without a helmet, too many idiots... FIRST day with an M/C license I got cut off by a woman in an SUV. Around here Deer are something you "encounter" pretty regularly as well. I've been good at spotting them from afar as I didn't want to hit one in a car/truck long before I got...

I looked at the auction again. I have to disagree with being able to save "If you had to" Looking at the amount of buildup, and how pitted they are, the passages will never be the right sizes again, the slides won't fit tight into the body, and even IF you get the air screws loose the chances...

Now I'm off to find how Drewpy did his...:) Edit: His hide works perfectly. Only issue with his bike is Drewpy's is under the back of the seat, and Herr_man does not have a raised rear portion to hide it under. But if you can score a battery like that and don't want electric start you're...

Just tossing my .02 in. If you went with a small AGM battery, or even better go with an LiFe battery. Crazy light weight. Like this EVO2 4 Cell Battery At 6x6x10cm it may be hide-able elsewhere. IDK if the tank tunnel is that wide. If it was...:thumbsup: And of course with that type of...

That actually brings up a good point. They probably aren't worth as much here, but aren't exactly worthless either, and I do like the bike a lot.. The spare bike I got, sans-title, I plan on using for bits that I modify (Including the engine). I plan on keeping the RD250 so it CAN be put back...

I was gonna offer $1 to be funny. But then I'd be on the hook for $15 shipping. Just wow. If some poor SOB buys them.... :doh:

Hi Guys. I joined here when I picked up an 81 XS I planned to personalize a bit. Short version... Busted rib at work so not keen on doing too much "work" here after work. So I'm browsing CL for the heck of it/to kill the evening, and see a 74 RD250 the owner is selling or wants to trade for a...

Nice work on the D-Max. You on DF by any chance??

Thanks. Though the XS400 is re-homed and I now have the RD250 (And a 350 now...) Low voltage was my issue. Charge battery FULLY, and only crank for a couple seconds. Mine fired up AS I LET GO of the starter button. But kick start cold seemed best for me. Never went any further as I...

I should not even look at that. Some VERY nice bikes and great diamonds in the rough too..... That RZ350LC is calling me badly. :doh:

I like engine porn.... Keep it coming. :D

I wondered about the number. Very nice. :cheers:

Drewpy, the bike looks awesome. I have to share a laugh I had while trading the xs400 today. :( The new owner mentioned a bike he'd seen with "333, speed shit" on it. But when he said the one with a window on the clutch cover, even being an FNG I knew and immediately said "Drewpy's bike!"...

Well, I sure didn't plan to off this bike, BUT I AM a Die-Hard 2-stroke fanatic, so when the chance to trade for an RD250 in still pretty nice shape came up, well.... As stated I HAD an XS. Pics of the bikes for you pics guys. As I said it was a damn clean and 100% original bike. It was fun...

I got them to open with right click and "Open in new window" That's a SOHC model but beyond that I have NO idea. I'm an FNG here too. Edit: Got another open. Looks like the XS400SH listed in my manual. Mine was a 1981 XS400H base model, drum fronts and spoke rims. I would guess somewhere...

LOL. I actually have JUST been offered an RD250 trade on my XS400. Hate to say it but I will probably do it. I've had the nic-name "Johnny 2-stroke" for a long time cause of my addiction to any 2-dinger. But depends on condition..

Will do a thread when I get started. OT here has been great but time-consuming. And broke a rib yesterday :doh: I'll get things done one day. Keep the updates coming.

1981 XS400H. 4,165 when I got it. 4,180ish now. Yep. Burning it up :D

Awesome build and info. I LOVE spinny things, though I doubt I'll be putting one in my bike. (Will be a budget build challenge :D) But that IHI turbo link should have been hidden from me. I am seriously contemplating ordering several. I'm thinking a turbo push mower and a turbo chainsaw at...
