It was a great time Drewpy! A lot of folk from you area of the world was there, you should hitch hike next year on over!

Any of our forum members going? This is where I purchased my XS400 (wrecked and barned for over 30 years) at the swapped meet 2 years ago. This year she will be on the race track(for the parade laps). I will be there all weekend. It's one of the best motorcycle events I've ever experienced. Hope...

I'm running stock air filters, stock pilot jet 42.5, my main jet is 37.5 (stock is 35). Stock needles. Now, if your running a pod filter setup then look for a pain! lol. I scrapped my pods and went back stock filters and think that's the best thing I ever done.

Yes they are! I had them for awhile, 1st time I installed them I was like, na, not the look I wanted and will not work with the quarter fairing. With the quarter fairing you stuck doing something very low café racer style. I'm 6'2". It hurt my back every time I rode just around town. I tried...

My old Maxim 400 would do it bone stock. But way back then I only weighed 130 pounds soaking wet and I had to rev the crap out of her and dump the clutch too....ended up one of those "hold my beer and watch this" moment. Not real graceful or impressive with the small bike.....No my old 1100...

HAHAHAH! That's a good one!....The muffler is a slip on so If you don't like the muffler you could get another type of slip on for the header. I really like the sound of the Mac. It's quieter than the cherry bomb style slipons with baffles I had on the stock headers. A lot better performance.

Trying to see if I can post a bigger pic.

ebay is where I got mine also.... I tried to go back to stock handlebars, just can't do it.... my VTX has 16" apes, I had my 400 brat style with clubmans, back always hurt. Then I went with Daytona style, just didn't look right, so I put the TCBros on like you see it and it's as comfortable as a...

Why did I wait so long? I'd recommend this exhaust to anyone! I took my pods off, got tired of not getting the hesitation out of it. No matter how much I adjusted the needles, synced carbs, played with the air adjustments it only seemed to move my hesitation to different rpms.....went back to...

Thanks guys, from what I'm seeing I'm thinking about pulling the trigger and makin a move with it. I'll post pics and my personal review in the coming week or so! Thanks!

I've done a lot of bolt on mods to my bike mainly because the bike was in such great shape when I got it that I didn't want to molest it. I have the 1982 XS400 Heritage Special. I've just about got her all back stock now including the intake and original style filters and jetting. I currently...

Lost one of my side covers on it's first ride, bummer because they were in like new condition. After buying 3 different ones on e-bay just to find they had cracks, one was for the wrong side and the other had the tit broke off I gave up on side covers. I run pods anyhow. I cut some thin...

My favorite in the whole museum is the XJ1100 Midnight Maxim! Black and gold!

Been going through some changes with it. I had it stripped down and was just about to do some chopping, hacking and other unthinkables and figured I would just end up ruining it and never finishing it. So I decided to go back almost stock with the chassis and add some fun parts. I really like it...

I bet it's weak power output. Mine does this from time to time, put a good charge on the battery overnight and it works perfectly for awhile. The charging systems on these bikes are weak.

I have been running a Chinese master cylinder for less than a year. It is the one with the cast "box" style reservoir all one piece. I'm having an issue with it now leaking through the piston seal. I'm about to order another one, but going to research the ones on Mikes and compare. This one has...

Just sent you a pm neighbor!

Nice bike! The 82 Maxim 400 was my first bike. I loved that thing. Tried to find one just like it but instead found my 82 XS400. Good luck with it, I like the 2 into 1 you made.

My pods are attached directly to the carbs. Honestly, it has taken quite some tweeking to get it right. Rejetted mains, pilots, synced, and a lot of adjusting on the air mixture screws. I finally have got the sweet spot. Cranks easily on first kick, only have to choke it for less than 10...

Rejetting the carb is cheap. Go to MikesXS.net and get a carb rebuild kit and order a couple of size main jets up and go ahead and get a size up on the pilot jet. If the rebuild kit doesn't come with new air mixture adjustment screws be sure to get them also.
