Thanks for the link and advice Ill look out for a SH manual, i wanted the clymer one but could only find a haynes. Regards

Hi there and hello to all! I used to be a member on this forum a couple of years ago but i cant remember my user name and have changed e mail. So i re registered and here i am. I have an XS400 that i belive to be an XS400 SH Herritage 4R4 1980. As im in the UK this bike was imported to the uk from the US in 1997 and was then in storage in the UK till 2008. It is a genuine clean bike and has a few problems with the electrical system and carbs due to being in storage for so many years. My problem is this i have the engine and frame number but im struggling to find parts for this US spec bike. my local yam dealer cannot find the exact spec for my bike when i give the details of my bike it comes up with the engine specs for another model of XS400. When i put my VIN into a VIN checker it can't find the details of my bike. My frame number is JYA14V0020A004826 My engine num is JYA14V00 Can anyone tell exactly what bike i have or tell me of someone that can. Also im told that if this bike was the the Californian spec then im really gonna struggle to get parts in the UK. Thanks in anticipation of any help Regards.... Marmiteandmarmalade
