coil

So I’ve found an XS 400 local for $300. The seller believes there’s a short somewhere in the wiring, they claim they were riding when it happened and they actually got shocked and then the bike died and has no power to anything now (assuming whatever happened popped the main fuse) You guys...

Hey All, I have a 1982 XS400SJ Heritage Special that is currently only firing on one cylinder. I had a shop take a look at it and they narrowed it down to a faulty coil that needed replacement. They told me that this specific year/model was Canada only and had some sort of unique coil that...

Hello. This is my first post here. I reside in the small town of Athens, Ohio. I purchased my xs a few months ago from a friend in the military for a measly $150! It is a 1981 XS400 Special II, and has not been rode in 8-9 solid years. I just ordered a new cleaned up jug (seized pistons)...
