I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure it can stay. The clutch cable is attached to the cover, and you can disconnect the cable after removing the cover.

To my recollection, those 6 screws are all that's holding the sprocket cover. You will need to remove the gear shifter too. The cover tends to collect grease and dirt inside, so it might need a little convincing (light tapping or pressure). I have removed the top motor mounts "A" several...

I just took my bike out for it's weekly ride, and discovered a whine when decelerating from high RPM. It does it in neutral or at driving speeds if I decel from high RPM. I came here to research and found this thread. I'd love to know if the OP found his problem.

PPS - I have a brand new caliper piston available, if you need it. Let me know if you are interested, and I can post pictures and the catalog number. It's still sealed from the factory.

Depending on your budget, you can get the whole thing brand new. Look up part number 4JF-2580U-00-00. I bought mine from boats.net, but you can also find it elsewhere. Partsfish.com has a great catalog system. PS - if you want used parts, that part number shows up on ebay.

Yes, I think $2k is too much to offer. I've restored my bike to almost new condition, and I expect it's worth less than $1000. But of course you are making me 2nd guess myself ;)

What you guys offer for that bike? I'm thinking $1k?

My bike is so beautiful, but I hate working on it.

You talked me into it. I can send payment tonight.

The above work was 2 hours

I have good working carbs. But considering how hard it is to find parts for this bike, I might buy them for spare parts. I'm waiting to see if someone else NEEDS them.

I spent 60 minutes removing my carbs, 5 minutes cleaning the enrichment tube, and 90 minutes re-installing the carbs.

Carb mounting on xs400 Maxim (DOHC) I hate re-installing the carbs. It's maddening. I've had them off a dozen times, and it never gets easier. The boots are too hard and too small. [emoji35] Edit.... I changed the thread title to be clear that I'm talking about the DOHC.

I'm almost finished. I only have 3 things left: 1. Polish the engine, tires, and a couple of small items. 2. Replace the tail pipes (I have 1 N.O.S. pipe, and hope to find the other soon). 3. Buy some mirrors. EDIT... I'm trying to post some photos, but having issues with the website...

I jacked up my bike and propped it up on a cinder block.

I'm interested in the front fender, left side cover, and right side battery cover. Can you post some pictures?

Not a clue

Problem solved. :) I bought a used tank off Ebay for $200. The tank looks very clean and is in great shape. Today I rode my bike for the first time in 12 years. This is a big occasion for me. 12 years ago my dad was severely injured on a police bike, thanks to a drunk driver. As a...
