1980 Yamaha XS400 Special Only firing on one cylinder
what exactly did you do to the carbs? maybe gas cap air hole blockage? rust in the fuel tank, running an inline filter?
-
XS 250 Running issues?
fuel tank could be corroded letting rust dust into the carbs and bocking them. The air hole in the fuel cap could be blocked or the float height is incorrect (haynes is wrong, it should be 26mm not 32mm)

Foamy's New Toy, XJ650 Turbo :)
swingarms can be done with the frame and may be free (is at triple s) so its worth getting all your stuff done at the same time, especially if its the same colour
-
Reducing Vibration
try timing the engine, balancing the carbs.

Starter not turning motor
starter clutch rollers have squared off. i think they are the same as the xs being on the left hand side

Master cylinder strip down
its buried in there, you need a special plier to get them out, or grind a nail or two and flick the bugger out. two pairs of hands work better

ENGINE PAINT
PJ1 is the best for engines. Unfortunatly, they stopped doing silver when the factory burnt down. never really found a decent silver, used yambits one and its runs as soon as it see's petrol even after baking it!
-
Sanding mirror...
you can get textured black paint in cans. Frost do them
-
mot - exhaust
unless you get a classic bike, and a peice of plumbers pipe would do, as long as the tester deemed it acceptable noise wise!
