400special main fuse popping
I'd disconnect each electrical item first then reconnect bit by bit and see if it blows. when it does, that is your problem

1976 xs 360d
It would help to say that you've tried all the usual options, then we don't have to make assumptions. they are the same carb type ie mikuni 34 mm so should fit yours. For a few dollars its worth a go.

FOOTPEGS 82 XS400
the rubbers should be a tight fit on the shafts and secured by bolts. motogrid do them.

Surging TX650
I'd get it on a rolling road dyno and get a fueling curve printed off. It will tell you what you need to do and save loads of time.

removing fork oil seals
another tip i've remembered, use a plastic waste pipe to hammer home the seal.

removing fork oil seals
I haven't got a YB but check for a allen bolt at the bottom of the sliders. you need to break them fast or they'll turn and then you have to make a tool to hold a nut the other side ( a very long tool).

removing fork oil seals
I use a tyre lever and rag to stop any indents in the alloy and a LITTLE heat to soften the rubber. If its really low drill a hole and screw in a self tapper for some thing to pull up on. I'm assuming you have taken off the stantions.

oil and running problems
YPVS is solinoid operated via electronics and is used to enhance low rpm ie shortens the exhaust length. It can stick but the whirring you hear is the checking system.

xs400 backfire and crappy revving
you're correct in assuming the pipe seals are to blame as that will produce the backfiring you are experiencing. You should have a gasket there, but it may be compressed and does look at first to be part of the cylinder head. try cleaning around the exaust port and check for a gasket (they can be metal copper or steel concertina shape) hope that helps, if you seal the exhaust and it still backfires, then timing or fuel mix is to blame.

1978 xs400
erm..no thimble full at most there's no seal there, maybe try tightening the case bolts. 8mm = 2.0 - 2.4 lb ft 6mm = 0.8 - 1.2 lb ft ps I am talking about the left side of the bike (as you sit on it) as the engine only takes 2 litres (2.3 with new oil filter) so hopefully your not removing the clutch side?

1978 xs400
LT is left timing for the valves on that side RT is the right timing for the valves on the right make sure the piston is at TDC by removing the sparkies and feeling compression with your thumb. inlet (carb side) is 0.08 - 0.12 mm exhaust 0.16 - 0.20mm A little oil does come out and my engine has only 2k since rebuild
