do you have the mechanical advance unit on the 77 engine? thanks, Nick

Looking for a mechanical advance unit pre TCI engine 1979 or below. xs360 mechanical advance unit may work as well. Thanks, Nick

Has anyone tried this Biltwell Whiskey Throttle? if so, is its quality worth it's price? Was it able to connect to the stock xs400 throttle cable? Thanks, Nick:thumbsup:

Thanks fire the quick response! In that case I may go a bit smaller so I can hide the battery as well. Thank for the info!

Looking to put a smaller battery on my 81 xs 400. I've seen threads on building your own batteries but I'm not quite interested in doing that. So I am running head and tail lights, and kick only. no electric start. Will a tru gel 12v 7a (medium size) work well and kick over easily our duo I...

Thank you for the info XSLeo! Im goin to go get one later this week and get this bike running! I'll let You guys know how it goes soon. Thanks again to everyone for your help! Lifesavers! Nick:thumbsup:

Hey XSLeo, just wanted to double check. Your post you said r292 and the picture you posted is a diagram for the r295

Sorry to leave ya guys hangin! I fully charged my battery and ran it in my friends bike and it's been getting 13.5 volts. So I'm happy about that. Just bought that sucker a month ago. So battery checks out good. Took my stator and field coil out switched it with the one with better wires and...

A good excuse for a Sidecar!

I don't to be honest, I that's why I asked. Just wanted to know what my options were and if there were alternatives or not. Appreciate your feedback guys and thanks for the help

so its actually better to have the tci ignition unit? I was just curious because due to age and its overall design it seems like one of those pieces that could easily fail or get ruined quickly so if there was an alternate unit I could run instead that would be more durable or better yet a way...

sorry if there is already a thread on this topic but I was looking through the threads and ive only encountered how to wire a tci ignition unit. my question is... Is it possible to remove this unit from the bike and still run? im pretty sure the ignition unit/box is what it is called. If not I...

Hey Lou ranger, yea at idle it was 12.1 then I revved it to about 3,000 and it dropped to 11.7 volts. What turned out to be the issue on your bike? Yamaguy55, yea I should probably invest in a dual rec/reg from Ricks. I did the manual spec test for the field coil (looks like a giant metal...

The leads together read .3 so the stator wires are .90 so I guess not too far off but each combination the all read the same. I hooked up the voltage regulator r292 I just bought the same way drewcifer wired his according to his thread and I have a working rectifier that's hooked up as well. I...

Thanks for your quick response Yamaguy55. I just installed a working recitifier and the r 292 voltage regulator that I read works on the xs from other threads. I'll install the stator and we will see how it goes!

I have two stators that belong to 81 xs400's. I'm not positive if they are good or not? I tested them on the 200 ohms setting and both stators had readings of 1.2 on all 3 white wires. Are these stators still good? I know the the manual specs say they should read at .75ohms +\- 10% Any help...

Tank still available?
