In lieu of the fact that I want to rewire my XS, I have decide to take on a very difficult (and probably stupid) hobby project. I am going to give my motorcycle a BRAIN (MWAHAHAHAH!!) As some of you may or may not know, a Raspberry Pi is a micro computer about the size of a credit card that...

Hey all, I have a very small leak on my left side header since I got the bike. I bought a non copper set of gaskets from Mikes that didn't work then I tried copper rings that came with the xs400 gasket set on ebay. I have also changed the header pipes. Still have a small leak. I'm starting...

Does anybody know of an outfit that sells an exhaust design similar to that on the Tonouchi Build on the home page? I obviously know they custom fabbed their pipe but I would love to have a set just like that without needing to speak Japanese.

I sent my Stator to these guys to get rewound. I own a SOHC which apparently has a rare stator ($100 vs $40 for the DOHC on Ebay). I called these guys and they did the stator for $90 including return shipping they also rewired it all the way to the plug. That was such a good deal, I paid an...

Like the title says, I put the sprocket on then the washer (I think the manual calls it a spacer, and now the snap ring just barely doesn't fit back into the groove. Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas. A hammer comes to mind but I'd rather not buy a new wheel:D I know I got the...

Scorpio, I was reading in another thread how you were worried about soliciting on the site about your kitty in poor health. It's not solicitation if you are asked questions that you are obligated out of the goodness of your heart to answer. Otherwise it would be rude...:wink2: So, You are...

I need a stator for my 82' Heritage Special. I might be willing to take the field coil as well if the price is right. Shipping to 44632.

I bought the wrong one on ebay and I don't want to pay the 20% restock fee. I paid $50 w/ shipping so I would let it go for $45 + free shiping. Edit: Forgot to mention that the wire connector was cut off so you will need to keep your old one and solder it on to the new one.

So I have been trolling around lately and trying everything to get my bike 82 heritage special SOHC to charge again. Last year, I was getting decent voltage but not the best (up to 13.8 volts) then all the sudden I started it this spring and it just stopped charging. I did the rewire of...

Just put new pipes on my bike and have the old header pipes for sale. The PO wasn't overly kind when he cut the mufflers off and there is some blueing of the pipes at the inlet. The chrome almost perfect with little rust. $50 + shipping and I will throw the mufflers in for free + shipping...

PO put on shorties and it looks like he mangled the pipe as well. Now they stop before the rear foot pegs and I don't want to burn my wife when I take her for a ride. Also don't like it sounding like a rocket ship. I'm looking for pipes and mufflers. I really don't care if they are stock or...

My voltage meter only goes down to 200 ohms and makes it somewhat difficult to measure 0.72 ohms for my stator. I looked all over town and couldn't find one lower than 200. I looked online and all I saw were huge machines upwards of $300. It seems to me I should be able to find one like my...

I am missing the plastic spacers that go between my butterfly seals and the e-clip on the throttle shaft. Anybody have any or know where to get them?

I have a 82' Heritage Special, will this fit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Brand-NEW-Oil-Filter-Bolt-11-35160-/321363299353?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ad2becc19&vxp=mtr The compatibility menu says it doesn't but I wasn't sure. Thanks

Hi All, I just bought an air intake H-pipe for my 82 heritage special as the PO had straight pod filters on the bike. I took it out of the box and the diameter is wrong. It is the exact size of the carb side intake instead of sliding over it. Attempts to force it have not worked. Did they...

I need a tach cable and a petcock rebuild kit for my 82 heritage special (SOHC). Unfortunately, this bike NEVER shows up on the list of fits. I bought one petcock rebuild kit from mikesxs and installed it but it didn't work, then I found out that the black ring with the four holes was too big...

So I did a wheelie off the back off my bike (long story) and busted up my gas tank. After some Bondo and brainstorming, this is what I came up with. This was my first time doing any of that and I admit that it looks better from a distance. I thought about putting a ".com" after the XS400 but...

Hello all. This thread is continued from: http://www.xs400.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11453 Finally got my new bike on the road tonight, but not quite satisfied with performance. I finally got my headlight working with another relay (Thanks for your help XSChris). The petcock rebuild was a...

Here are the things I'm looking for for my new bike (more to come most likely): center stand relays mirrors Seat Spring a kickstart (only the foot pedal) Send me a pm if you got it.

Hello All, Just got a new 82 XS400 Heritage Special that the PO apparently ripped out the mirrors (no threads at all). I've been throwing around ideas about getting new ones and wanted to know what everyone else thought. Here is what I've been thinking: 1. Put some JB Weld around the...
