Hello all! It's been awhile since I have posted anything . I just took my bike out for a ride for the first time in 2016. The bike survived winter storage. Haha for some reason there is always a little bit of doubt and prayer that she is going to start up again, but after three kicks she ran...

Where did you get your seat?

Sesty- Thanks! Haha The secret is no close camera shots. Xschris- I hope you had your mouth closed!

I fixed the oil leak about a week ago. This morning I went on my first "long distance" Highway ride. It was about a 30 mile round trip to the Lake and back. This was the farthest I have ventured from town since I purchased my bike last September. The ride was good. My bike is by no means...

Found some oil goop on my chain today. Found the problem with a torn o-ring. Hopefully it stays at a $3 fix.

I forgot to mention that I replaced my levers and perches. The brake perch mirror mount was stripped and the clutch ever was bent from being dumped by the previous owner. Just some small updates that provided some familiarization with the handle bar parts.

Hello to all! It has been awhile since I have posted an update. Through the winter months I replaced both set of brake shoes, fork seals and oil, and just recently purchased some emgo mirrors. I acquired my motorcycle endorsement and have been enjoying the bike. I also replaced my fuel petcock...

Thanks for posting pictures of the seat. I'm going to pass for now.

How much for the whole seat and is the cowl cracked or broken?

What size are the drag bars and are they still available?

I had the same problem a couple months ago. I contacted my yamaha dealer and had no luck. I ended up removing the ignition and took it to a lock smith. He made two keys for $25. He made the keys out of a blank Nissan truck key. It stands a bit taller in the ignition, but they work.

Did you use the stock seat pan?

Disregard

1978 xs400 2E with new mufflers

Here is an update on my motorcycle. Since I have bought my xs400 I have replaced the chain, air filters, changed oil, replaced the carburetors, carburetor boots, in-line fuel filter, mufflers with new gaskets, spark plugs, spark plug wires and boots, ignition coils, a battery, new fuse box, and...

I agree with Sesty. I think seeing the "whole" picture with the tank mounted will help. I don't mind the head light myself. I really like the orange frame. Those side mirrors aren't my favorite. I like where you are going with your bike. I'm with you on the budget constraint. So far I've...

This is NOT my bike or me. I found this video on youtube. I'm not sure what kind of mufflers the guy is running, but my new mufflers sound similar.

BamaBill- My bike didn't come with stock mufflers, so I can't compare them. However, I my bike did come with after market MAC mufflers and they were pretty loud and throaty. The new mufflers are way quieter. They are not obnoxious and are pretty mellow. They aren't that throaty, but they...
