    Adding a little Raspberry Pi to my 82'Heritage Special.

    Well, my end of the project is coming to an end prematurely. Due to some unforeseen financial crisis and lack of time, I was forced to sell my motorcycle. I hope the new owner is able to fix her up more than I ever could. I'm not sure if I posted the tinyCAD file of the wiring diagram to the...

    I think Oil Galleries are clogged.

    I just wanted to make sure you weren't doing it all the time. Didn't mean to offend.:thumbsup: I would suppose as long as you keep getting dirty oil, that means the clog is coming loose. I would think just keep on keeping on should fix it over time if that is the problem. I don't know if...

    I think Oil Galleries are clogged.

    Running the bike without the mufflers and filters will not give you an accurate picture of you bike. The carb jets' performance relies heavily on the air flow resistance encountered due to obstacles including but not limited to air filters and exhaust system. If you have converted to pods and...

    What did you do with your XS today?

    I got mine from the Yamaha dealership last year for about $10. Took a few days though because they didn't have them in stock.

    Adding a little Raspberry Pi to my 82'Heritage Special.

    Disclaimer: I don't think I'm planning on using a phone to control things, it was just a thought someone else may be interested in. BUT there is a bypass switch in case the phone dies/fails. The bypass would provide power to the headlight/tail light and the ignition. You would lose horn and...

    Adding a little Raspberry Pi to my 82'Heritage Special.

    You know, I was just thinking that some much more knowledgeable person could probably come up with an app that connects via bluetooth and turns your phone screen into a remote control to control the relay board. You could then just buy a phone mount for your handlebars and skip the wiring to...

    Adding a little Raspberry Pi to my 82'Heritage Special.

    Something similar to this. I'm going to upgrade to 1 or 1-1/8" bars and mount the switches inside the bar. Here is the Relay board I'm using. I have already tested it with the GPIO pins on the Pi and it didn't seem to hurt anything, even when all the relays were on at once.

    I got a private message that was spam. I read it in my email. But once I logged onto the site, it shows that I have a new message notification but there is nothing in my inbox. WTF?:shrug:

    Adding a little Raspberry Pi to my 82'Heritage Special.

    Here is the rough draft of my Wiring Schematic. I'm looking for any recommendations that anybody has and general proofreading to make sure I didn't screw anything up. I didn't really color code the wiring too much yet. I did include two Pi bypass switches. It should provide power to the...

    Adding a little Raspberry Pi to my 82'Heritage Special.

    I replaced it with another B+. It seems to have a lot more functionality with only slightly more power consumption. Leaves things open for upgrades later on. If it ends up being a problem, downgrading to an A+ shouldn't be too hard. Everything should be able to be transferred aver with the...

    Adding a little Raspberry Pi to my 82'Heritage Special.

    Ran into a speed bump. My pi went on the fritz after a month. I apparently had it stored in a bad location and some mice crawled around on it and corroded the board. Gotta love old country homes. Couldn't do any GPIO programming without the pi. I just got it replaced. This time I got both...

    Mega progress on my xs400! cant wait till Spring!

    I guess now is a good time to put in a plug about screw drivers. You want to pick up a set of JIS screwdrivers online somewhere. They stand for Japanese Industrial Standard and they look just like regular philips but they are notched a little differently. All the screws on the xs models are...

    I think Oil Galleries are clogged.

    If I were you, I would clean the carbs a couple more times then adjust valves and balance carbs. These carbs areVERY sensitive and can be dirty even when they appear clean. Ultrasonic cleaner and compressed air above 100 psi is the best way. I have seen peole who have cleaned their carbs 4...

    rubber isolation drive?

    I like to call myself Redneck MacGyver :smoke: That's true. It's really hard to find places that can accommodate all those twist cap wire connectors. And romex is so stiff. Can you classify deck screws as bolts? You know what doesn't matter. Anything a bolt can do, zip ties can do...

    I think Oil Galleries are clogged.

    Compression test would probably still be a good idea. It can still run even if the compression is not in spec. It might also make sense why it runs better warm since the metal would expand and seal a little better yielding slightly better compression. The test isn't really hard, and we are...

    New to xs400.com but not finding it helpful!

    Ummm Guys? I don't mean to be "that guy" but I thought we kind of moved on to helping him and not talking about the "incident" after post 33? At this point he either learned his lesson or isn't going to change. Although he is still posting and has been quite civil so I think the lesson has...
