    Need advice on value of project

    in Classics

    Posted

    Hey everyone! I have a 1978 XS400 2E that I'm looking to sell. It is fully disassembled and in boxes. The bike was in decent shape when I got it (engine has compression, no dents). I was planning on rebuilding into a cafe racer, but really need to focus on other areas of my life right now. I picked up some parts along the way like an extra seat, fat rear tire and wheel from an '81 (If memory serves me right), new spark plugs, oil filter, etc. I've done quite a bit of cleaning and it looks like it'll be a simple rebuild.

    Can anyone give me an idea of what I can expect to get for it? Keeping in mind I'd rather sell it in one shot rather than spending the time on listing all the parts individually on ebay.

    Thanks a bunch!

    Pity you're not in the uk, I'd have chewed you're arm off.

    HI EVERYBODY.I RECENTLY BOUGHT AN XJR 400 1996 AND I AM LOOKING FOR A SERVICE MANUAL AND THE PARTS CATALOGUE.I SEARCHED THE INTERNET A LOT BUT I DIDNT'T FIND ANYTHING SINCE I DON'T KNOW JAPANESE... :-)

    ANY HELP WOULD BE APRECIATED...

    Hi there fella. Excellent choice of bike. I;ve got the xjr1300 (see the pics). Try going here http://www.yamahaxjrownersclub.com/phpBB3/index.php they have an excellent 400 section, but the whole site is first class. I have just become a full member, but that is optional and you can just register to use the forum.

    Homebased anti-mist solutions

    Just looking at anti-mist products for inside visors and they are damn expensive.

    Anyone have a cheaper solution (sic!) that I can use.

    I used to put neat washing up liquid in mine and polish up, but that doesn't work as well now for some reason.

    did a google search and a product called "Mr Min" was mentioned which is a silicon based furniture polish (not available in UK)

    so come on Yammy owners , spill the beans.........

    Don't use washing up liquid of any sort, it's got salt in it which scratches any surface. I use good old fashioned Spit, it works on all diving masks and is proven, spit on the visor (inside of course), smear around to cover the entire surface then wipe off with a damp cloth, job done. Sounds a little disgusting but it's plentiful and free. Try it before you pass judgement.
