Sorry the one i wanted to send you via email is over 100 mb in size.

How do I post pictures from junk yard dog to show room finisher? anyone???

I gotan 82 xs400j from a friend in a trade, he got my 87 bronco ( not running) about 8 months ago. iyts been sitting in his garage for about 8 years or more. this past 3 months i have cleaned the carbs got a new stator, new brushes, new spark plugs and tested the coils I painted the tank and the front fender with great success, i also tested the starter circuit cutout (sccr)relay and the side stand relay finding the sccr was bad. the sidestand worked as it should. after 8 months of no spark i decided last week toput the side stand relay in the plug for the sccr and bingo bango it has spark but will not start. I got a sccr off ebay for 9 dollars and put it in the side stand relay plug and lo an behold the dam thing started like it has been running the whole time. Thinks to do : 1. Paint the side covers , trunk, and rear fender. DONE ! 2. Get seat recovered ( took to the shop yesterday) $110.00us DONE ! Looks Great !!! 3. New cables < choke, throttle, clutch, and brakes No new Cables needed , but will change them out in the fall 4. New Chain 5. new brake pads and shoes , resurface rotor and drum. <===== Doing this in the morning 6. new 7" headlight assy. w/ spotlight bar. ( I hate the insect looking fairing. so out it goes) 7. clean and polish engine & body parts DONE! 8. oh crap i forgot the most Important item A NEW HELMET. DONE! 9. center stand may take 1 more month to get done.

just a thought. is the engine painted?

I am debating on taking out the Airbox and using pod like filters by amsoil. Is there any adjustments needed to do this? or will the regular carb syncing and yics tool help do this? I have heard that you need to re jet and adjust but no real specfics on what is needed to make such a conversion. 1982 yamaha xs400j

Auto zone and ace hardware has that stuff cheaper than $8.90

Why lower the bike? there are many seat making places like sargentcycle that will lower the seat area . got mine in now waiting for the results now. http://www.sargentcycle.com/csfoam.htm
