Hey i have been trying to remove the timing chain from my xs400 and i can't seem to get it out in my manual it says to use a spanner to hold the rotor so the chain doesnt move but now i got my wrench stuck on the bolt for the chain guide anyone have a idea how i may be able to remove the chain? Thanks

thanks for the reply's i will do some checking tomorrow to make sure it will work.

Thanks a lot i finally got it out, I had one other question though, Could use one of those AGM batteries on a 79 xs 400 it says it can be used on the 1980 so i figure it could but i just wanted to check before i spent the money.

Hey again I have been trying to get the motor out of the frame, i follow the service manual on what needed to come off before i removed it. Now i cant seem to pull it out is there any chance that there may be a hidden bolt or two that could be still holding the motor on?

thanks for the replies, I'm having a little trouble getting the motor out off the frame but i'm hoping that i will get started on it this weekend. I bought a new camera so hopefully i can figure it out so that i can post pictures of my progress. Thanks Again!

Thanks Guys i ended up just going up to the Yamaha dealer and ordering some.

Hey I am trying to figure out where i can buy larger jets for my carbs so that i can run the air pod filters. I have been doing alot of research but i cant seem to find anyway that sells what i need, If anyone has some ideas please tell. Thanks

Ok Thanks i was able to find a new gasket set so i am ready to go for the rebuild. Thanks Again

hey guys, I am in the process of taking a 79 xs400and turning it into a bobber. First i took care of my carb problem but when i tested the compression it was extremely low so im wondering if anyone knows where i can find the torque needs to be for the various motor parts. I am also wondering if anyone knows where i might a quire a gasket set for it. Thanks Warkilt

OH ok thanks

Hey i was taking my xs400 engine apart and found tons of carbon buildup i was wondering if anyone knew what i could use to get rid of it without having to get it done with a bead blaster. Thanks

Ok That sounds like it a better shot then trying to break it out. Thanks

I am rebuilding my bs34 carbs and i am trying to get the pilot jet and my manual says to use a tapered rod to remove it but i don't understand what they mean by doing that. I would think if you push to hard then you would just push it in harder. If anyone has some suggestions that would be great.

Ok Sweet thanks Again!

I don't mind having to fabricate something i just wanted to know if the electrical would work on it. Thanks Warkilt
