a different camshaft is mainly responsible for the lack of horsepowers here in Germany:eek:

if the original engine was replaced I would guess, there was a reason ;-) As Drewpy said, the crankcase is a pair but of course you can put the cylinders from one engine to the other. The cylinder head is machined as pair (head and cover) as well. The cylinders are of the same size, Yamaha...

Sorry, no rollover to offer. I got only 84.000 km on my XS . They should be true, I own it since 1992 (with a short break of 2000 km).

I got this problem on all of my XS-engines. I got the third one running at the moment. And that one was open last winter, there were no signs of wear or something else suspicious on the sprockets or shift forks. I think the trick is to shift up more carefully.

don't forget to drain the oilfilters and replace the filter cartridge.

inspected my race-style XS for the new season today. The rear wheel flies like prayer flags in Nepal. Needs new swing arm bushings:(

You can use those pistons. Sanglas used the XS400 engine in the Sanglas 400Y http://www.ebay.de/itm/150989938326?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The mentioned german supplier is...

Nope! Seems the tubes and/or brackets are bend.

I can ask if I see them next time but that might take some weeks or month. It is winter :-( Time to hide in a garage. I think it is possible to press them out. If you got the necessary tools:D

These are the parts you are talking about (new) I guess it is difficult to remove them without destroying them. The metal cylinder is shrinked in and there is no place to use an extracting tool. I think it is easiest to get out the rubber first and then carefully cut the cylinder wall. Anyway...

or like this.

maybe this one http://www.ebay.de/itm/19-Vorderrad-fur-Yamaha-XT-SR-500-/271689716984?pt=Motorrad_Kraftradteile&hash=item3f41f814f8 If the seller refuses to send to you, maybe I can help.

A european meeting would be fun.

Most of the costumers here use SR or RD wheels. I was lucky to get a frontwheel from the US and a rear hub from someone on the german board.:D

Hello from Germany! :)

The 392 on the top end is interesting. I only know the 391 as Chris wrote. The early Yamaha documents say 392, for XS400D for example. Haynes says 392 in the front and 391 in the extra capter in the end:D I guess there was a measuring eror somewhere:eek: Could you post a picture of the...

Driftpunch is the better word:) But actually I use a small nail.

No, not German market. I found a list on the internet some time ago. Maybe Japan? I just copied a "1M0 XS250C 1976". Edit: The XS250 is missing in the Haynes US model list;-) The crankcase might be not 100% the same. I am not sure. On the early XS360 the hole for the cylinders was a bit...

Hello from Germany.

How are you guys trying to get the pin out? I found out long ago that it is a stupid idea to use pliers (I broke a carb too). I think it is best to use a small hammer and nail and drive it out carefully. My broken carb: I drilled a hole into the lower part and fixed the pin with a...
