LED blinkers staying solid
the link is for a 3 prong led flasher! are you running LED's? if you have standard bulbs you only need a 2 prong flasher but will lose the auto switch off function. If you wanted that function then dig deep and buy the yam part or find 2nd hand

mushy brake and rubbing parts.
it will if it lets in air! the SE models had a tilted M/C body due to the shaped bars

XS400 Cold Starting Problem
I'd do a service and tune up as these bikes are reliable. If you're still having problems, its usually the crud from stale fuel in the carbs

if you could make a custom part
finned engine cover! new tacho/speedo mounts/bezel? luminum rear hugger?
-
79 xs400 motor rebuild
top engine mount off? 2 rear mounts? front lower mounts off? sometimes the motor is reluctant to come off the frame as it tends to wedge in the front mounts. you can do a top end strip to lighten the engine and I suggest loosening the front sprocket nut as its tight (use the gears and drive chain/back brake) just rock the front up to free it and take the engine out from the right hand side.
