Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my restoration and café racer project for my 1982 Yamaha XS400SE (SOHC) if someone could also benefit from it.

Over the past months I've documented some steps of the project in a Notion journal.

Some of the topics covered include:
  • Teardown and rebuild
  • Carburetor restoration, tuning and synchronization
  • Pod filter tuning and jetting experiments
  • Newtronic electronic ignition setup
  • Front wheel bearings, spacers and oil seals
  • Electrical upgrades
  • Digital gauge installation
  • Custom fabrication
  • General troubleshooting and maintenance
The journal is still being updated as the project progresses.

If you're interested, you can follow the build here:

Many of the solutions I've found have been inspired by information from this forum, so this is also my way of giving something back.

Thanks for looking!
