Newbie here... glad to find  a like minded forum about the Yamaha XS400-2

[Snakebite68]

Welcome in there, tell us about yourself...

 rebuilt a few xs400's

I got my Yamaha in a trade a while back, it was sitting for many years and had been cobbled quite a bit.

Really like the thing though, rounding up parts, paint, gaskets, etc.

Me- I'm recently retired, have an old Ford I'm fixing up too. Divorced, living with my daughter. I'll soon turn 60.

Looking forward to learning and talking with you all here.

A big welcome from me also, nothing wrong with turning 60, only a few years ahead of you myself. Old Ford? Consul? Zephyr? Cortina? I'm more interested in that than your XS400

The Ford is a V8 Ranger project. It sat out in the weather too much. No joke, I used muscles I forgot I had (but feel them now), and a BFH more than removing things properly. LOL.

Fasteners rusted tight in their clips, etc.

It's getting a carbed and cammed up 5.0 w/automatic.
