  1. Well there I was wondering if anybody had bypassed the Ignition box on a 1981 xs400s (or the like)? I just found a few prices that are more than the bike itself for a new unit lol! Being an electronic ignition can I use say like a Pertronix box maybe and some aftermarket coils? Anybody have any thoughts on this? thanks - Mike
  2. If you do go for a full LED system make sure to upgrade your flasher unit with a solid state flasher unit. Standard LED's wont trigger relays properly and bad things happen. And as far as the headlight goes I can say first hand that the led's are awesome and bright enough to run but a little expensive... I saw a pair of 7" for $1000 Canadian. When the price goes down i'm all over it expecially for the dirt as they take vibration very well.

    Well my bike is coming along very well but am running into problems finding replacement Carb Kits online. I found a kit for a 1981 XS850 that looks the same except for different jet numbers. Has anyone on here tried it and does it work? thanks - Mike PS - Before anyone suggests it I have dealt with Partsnmore and MikesXS with very poor results. That is the reason why I am looking elsewhere. Thx.
  4. Right on guys thanks alot this helps out alot, the engine in it now seems to be great I was just curious about the 650 and thanks for all the input. All I really need is all exterior parts such as the whole master cylinder as the old one is weather beaten to nothingness (Still works but UGLEE!) Hopefully this weekend i can track down a manual for it as well, I went to the links stickied but they are all gone so bummer for me. Thanks again and see ya.

    Hi all my names Mike from Canada and am now the very proud owner of of a 1981 XS400S. I have plans for the bike involving a cafe style setup. I have a problem with parts up where I live and am needing to know how interchangeable are the XS650 parts to the 400's. The parts needed are; -Master cylinder (whole thing is buggered) -Front Caliper and Rotor -Engine parts (What I am asking here is if the 650 is just a bored and stroked 400?) -Starter Thanks all, I'll post some pics up when I get the machine in the works. P.S. - What are some good online sites you guys buy from for parts, I found mikesxs, partsNmore and ol Bike bandit. Nice to meet you all and thanks for looking.
