Hi everyone,
Let me introduce myself first. I'm a french 37 yo guy from Paris. I'm a newbie in the vintage motorcycle world. I've got two scoot, Vespa PX200 and Vespa GTS300. One HD Sportster 1200 and now... and old XS400 SE, 1980 in a good condition.
I've already ordered the Haynes manuel and looking for some inspiration for my future work. I've got a first problem and I cannot find any answer on the net: It seems that my bike has a 5-speed transmission on it BUT I have the sensation that one gear is missing... The max speed is 55MPH. In fact I can go higher but I don't want to go over 6000RPM for that... That's why my opinion is that one gear is missing
Is there some 5-speed transmission on XS400 or just 6-speed?
Thanks for help me out
