1981 XS400 with a charging porblem. (Heard of that?)
try and steal/beg/borrow another battery of good provenance and see if that helps. i had my bike get slower and slower comming from a rainy long ride and switching off my head lamp helped. turns out it wasn't charging ( 1 month old battery) a new quality battery (yuasa) cured it! drewps

xs 250 help
zincing cost £100!! i think mine cost a £5 about 20 items!! ( 3 years ago though at RS chrome) they've been around for a while and advertise in CMM but I hav'nt used them. PJ1 is good, but not that good. i did look into painting stuff , but the vendors said for longevity get 'em plated!

Flasher Relay Location
that something is located under the frame of the top spine under the rear of the tank ( in front of the battery) hopefully you can see the branch of the loom where it was! I am also assuming its the 2A2 model

xs 250 help
i've used 10/40 before and the motor didn't like it. that's why i went with 20/50 semi synth. i've used the bike for 3 years now and there's no wear in the bore or camshaft. yamaha recommend 20/40 but that's impossible to get over here in blighty. your right about using mineral oil in a newly built engine. i used duckams and thrashed it for 40 miles to bed in the bores etc. then used the 20/50, tried 10/40 and back to 20/50! when i rebuilt my bike i used assembly oil which is like treacle and sticks to surfaces. i used this because it was a while till i was able to fire it up and it gave it the best possible protection. i never used drab olive as i bought new bolts which were already done plus stainless throughout the rest of the bike. drewps
