    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 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!

    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

    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.
