xs400

[dwain61]

Well I am going to sell my XS400 and since I want it to be well taken care of I decided to let you guys know. I have a 1979 Yamaha XS400 for sale. It has less than 10,000 miles and runs and drives great. Usually starts first kick (unless the temp. outside drops). I have a clear title for the bike and it is currenty plated so you could drive it home. I have put many new parts on this bike; new mufflers, new points, new air filters on both sides, rebuilt carbs, new battery. This bike has kick start or electric start. One thing to note is that the windshield and the luggage box are going to stay with me after selling but you can keep the luggage rack and I also have the grab bar for the bike that you can have as well.
My phone number is 314-260-7755

xs400 help

I just picked up an 81' XS400 - learning bike for my wife, who's finally decided she wants to drive instead of being driven.

Got it for $350 because it needed some work and TLC, guy that had it took it to a bike shop and qoute for fixing was $450 and he decided to sell instead of fix.

It's good and straight and hasn't been down (hard at least) with a shade under 15k on it.

Told me they said problems were electrical, hoping to pick brains for those inherent problems and any other things I should take a hard look at.

Thanks,

Bull

I would start with the fuse box. I was having all kinds of trouble with my lil 400 until I replaced the fuse box. Those original fuse boxes are just not a good design. Hope this helps.

I had an '82 xs400, there is also a Seca version of the same bike with a 6-speed transmission and different exhaust.

PO had some trouble with the TCI box, sold me the bike cheap. Turned out to be cold solder joints on one of the edge pin connectors. I also replaced the fuse block. Put over 40K miles on it from '94 to 2001. Still miss it for quick little trips.
