XS400 Addict
Just bought my first bike. I believe it is a 1980 xs400 special II based on the title, side cover, and drum brakes. It need some work but its what I expected for $400. It currently is not running. It has almost exactly 10,000 miles. It has a dent in the tank. Needs a battery. Carbs cleaned. New tires. New brushings under handle bars (new bars IMO). I know almost nothing about bikes or auto mechanics. I used to own a 1984 bmw e30 and did some work on that (replaced steering arm, valve adjustments, replaced clutch slave cylinder, basic maintenance, and upholstery, got it to pass deq so this is new ground for me. I appreciate any help or comments. I will post as often as possible with many pictures (this is also my first forum experience). Glad to have a place like this to get help. So please suscribe and lend me your expertise. This is the only picture I have so far
