New Owner of an old 1980 XS400.
Brought her home and I couldn't help but start troubleshooting before work. I replaced the spark plugs, gave it a kick-start but no dice.
Pulled the spark plugs and tested the spark. No spark. I'm assuming it's a either the battery, the regulator rectifier, or...
Heylo.
The skinny: I built a cafe racer, eitrd from scratch, burnt out two batteries.
I have a combo reg/rec purchased from Ricks. My bike is a 1981 xs400 heritage special. My R.R has 3 white wires, which I ran to the white wires on the R.R, 1 green to the magnet? A brown wire that...
Hey guys & gals, I'm working on converting from the stock charging system to a PMA charging system on an XS400. The stock charging system was getting weak (although I didn't note it had failed) and the rubber seal where the wires pass thru the crank case cover were a leaking spot. I...

Hello, I'm new ad this is my first post.
I have an 81 xs400. It generates no charge so when it's running it dies after about ten miles. I (regretfully) took it to a shop that told me the reg/rec were shot. They replaced with 2 in 1 unit marked tmr1003bu. After this they decide stator is shot...
