82 XS400SJ Charging system nightmare
14v @ 3k revs is within spec. with these bikes, you need a good battery, if it's not holding charge then you wan't get back a decent charge!! the tesing of the solid state voltage regulators only states the above test (14v - 14.7v) with a fully charged battery. rectifiers are diodes which only allow electricity to flow in one direction. this process converts AC current to DC, that is why you won't get a reading one way. I'd check battery condition firstly NEVER RUN ENGINE WITH BATTERY DISCONNECTED! drewps BTW I just posted a link for a parts book for the SJ under xs400 links

Now and electrical issue.
when you get the bike going, run a volt meter on the Batt terminals. you should be getting 13 - 14.5 volts at 3k revs. if not i suspect the voltage regulator first drewps

Clever bit of coding - it's all perfectly safe for work, until you select all of the text and colour is automatically applied to each letter. http://fichtre.net/yop.html

1980 xs 400 engine issues.
I'd tend to lean towards clutch drag. make sure its adjusted at the engine side first. there is another thread about this which, quite frankly, has been done to death

xs400/sr250 front end
not sure on the yolk sizing, but you would need the wheel/spindle as well as it runs a 19" size wheel and the brake caliper is on the opp side! look forward to seeing you creation take shape on another thread!

Clutch Problem
they all do that sir!. its the oil circulating that rotates the clutch basket, and the plates that do move induce the rotation.

yes, the clutch will slip, use semi synth if your keen not always, some carb stuff, some brakes and switches may be compatible also can be said re SR range braided brake lines, modern pad material and R1 engine (last one was not serious)

Weird Electrical Issue XS500
full right position is for parking on an unlit road acording to UK law! as for the rest, check the earth strap and connections to the starter solinoid and check fuses
