82 Maxim 400 Carb Help
you can down load a manual in the "sticky" at the top of this section, it should give you the info you need. I had a new kit from cirus and they sent a solid pilot and it made my tickover too lean so went back to the "holey" ones the sohc bikes in the uk have identical jets for each carb, so i think its more to do with legislation than mechanical excellence!! drewps

Battery
1st you need a decent battery; I got a cheapo and it lasted 3 months!! as I ride mainly in the warmer months I always use an optimiser, the new ones de-sulphate the plates and it lasts a lot longer, they also come with a fly lead so its a matter of getting the lead under the frame and attaching the charger to that, no need to go near the battery! had my battery 2 years now

xs400 electronic ignition kit
I'd email him first! the contacts will wear at the heal so you would need to lube and time them once in a while. I've had mine on for 2 years now no probs whatsoever. bike pulls past redline, i think the points bounce gets ignored!

xs400 electronic ignition kit
I got this from gigavolt in germany. He can be found on the xs400.de ( that's where I contacted him) and he speak english!! he made me a kit which uses the points as a trigger only. I had the version 3 but version 4 is out and was about £80, fitting is easy and mine looks oem.

c clip im master cylinder
expensive tools hopefully you got a new seal kit first? destroy the rubber boot ( well as much as you can) get a long nail and grind it further so there is a 3mm "pin" formed stick the nail into one of the eyes in the circlip push it out. if the circlip starts spinning you may ned to get another nail and cross them over and repeat. done this twice now and costs nowt!!
