May 27, 200916 yr Author its a pick up coil cover. so its alright if it has a small crack in it? it wont hurt anything?
May 27, 200916 yr Moderator to the forum Metal Hed That's where the points used to be on older XS's.....but as stated, it now houses the pick-up coil (Ignition) Had this same issue with an XS400 I used to own......I used JB Weld to fix the crack (from the inside)..... You might be able to cure the stripped bolt.....by replacing it with a slightly longer one.

June 3, 200916 yr A good fix for a pulled thread is to cut a piece of cable tie & drop it into the threaded hole before replacing the bolt.
