Hey Everyone, First and Foremost, happy 4th! Well, I was just wondering if anyone knew where I can purchase a Right Control Switch for my 1982 xs400 s. My current one seems to have a problem of a short somewhere and everytime I push the electric start it happens to work once in a great...

Hey guys, Just one more question, you guys know the ball bearing that goes in the clutch rod, the ball seems to be stuck in there, any idea on how to get it loose? Theres a clutch pushrod seal that suppose to go in to cover it but it won't go in fully because of the ball bearing.

Xschris! You're the man! Thank you so much! I'll get back to you on the process and let you guys know how it comes along. Damn it's going to be a long day. Haha

Gotchya! Also do any of you guys have a picture of how the kickstarter is suppose to proper installed? I noticed there's a couple springs on there, just don't know how it's supposed to look like after installation. Any picture would help! Thanks.

Above is the attachment, it's behind the kickstarter springs

Hey guys, So went to go ahead and replace my clutch from my d to the new motor. And I went ahead and took a look at my kickstart journal and it looks like it has snapped. Just wondering if it's okay to ride with it snapped? Anyone know if it's okay? It should stl kickstart but just wondering...

Hey guys, So I've been working on this bike for a few weeks now. Bike works fine and starts up fine. However, when I go to shift to a higher gear, the bike barely picks up any speed. The max the bike goes is to 45 mph and that's at 6 th gear. Really frustrating as I just went ahead cleaned...

How'd you maneuver yours through your frame? Everytime I try doing it, it builds up way too much tension and it's near impossible to press the clutch lever down.

Bcware, are you talking about the stock 53 inches?

Hey Guys, I was looking at a clutch cable that ran a bit shorter on dime city cycles. This one runs about 47 inches and I needed it shorter since I have clip-ons...

I was wondering, would elevation have an effect on the jets I would need to purchase? I currently have 135 mains and 42.5 pilots but was just thinking of buying the same according to the this thread. I live in Salt Lake City, UT, and I'm probably riding at 8000 elevation. I know CHKM8 is located...

Thanks Luckyeight! At this point I found one online that I'm just thinking of ordering since it would guarantee a hold. And Greasey Fingers, I've read somewhere that the jb weld would hold it for about a week till the fuel broke it down. But check out the link that Luckyeight posted, that would...

Hey Guys, Just my luck this. So the previous owner of my bike must've dropped the carbs while he was cleaning it :wtf:. Anyway I went and tried taking out the pin holding the float bowl between the two towers and one side just cracked off. At this point I could potentially go ahead and JB...

Found one that matched mine, thanks! http://www.xs400.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8392 I'll keep ya updated on the progress after I get to this tonight.

Thanks guys, i just also found out the last owner on the engine only had 15 on his front sprocket and I'm planning to put my 16 from my old engine to the new one, I'm sure that will help it by somewhat. Also I don't have the tachometer cable as of now, so no way of telling where my current...

Hey Guys, I'm back in the garage after I just finally got the engine to kick over on its first kick. Runs like a champ and has a ton of compression. Figured out it was a timing issue under the timing cover and adjusted it accordingly to the crank and its positions. Anyways, I own a...

Thanks for the reply gtidave! I currently use two shorty mufflers on the stock exhaust on the engine and I think I'll go ahead and do another clean in the carbs. Hopefully this would work. But any idea on the jet settings if I run shorty mufflers and pod filters? It's also a sohc model if...

Hey guys, just recently bought a new engine after my old one seized. Electrical works fine and for first time ever my electric tic starter works too. Had to jump my bike since my battery wasn't doing and was pretty much low, and after about an hour of trying to kick start and electric starting...
