Just thought I'd post and say hi to all. I'm definetly happy to find this new forum dedicated to the great xs400's, looks great, super active, lots of info, looks like i'll be on here alot! Now to finish this up so I can do some lurkin...
Basically, my first bike was an xs400, years later, regretting selling my first bike I got another one. I think I like to wrench as much as I like to ride and this is a perfect opportunity for me to hang in the garage, wrenchin', drinkin, spending some quality time with my old man and my machine.
So here's where I'm at so far, I got the bike home, it's in pieces (pics on my little blog deal at roadsideswagger.blogspot.com ) I've spent the last month working on the carbs, makin' a plan etc. Tomorrow morning, or whenever I wake up, it will be changing oil/filter/spark plugs, kickin' her and seeing what happens. I have my fingers crossed for spark
I'll lurk around a bit, maybe start a thread on my build with some pictures, try to list some stuff on the classifieds.... I've got a ton of 400 parts from this bike just sittin' in a corner. I'm new to this forum thing so I suppose we'll see what happens. Anyways, I look forward to sucking your brains of all of your xs400 information and sharing what I can! Happy new years everyone!!!!
PS: I'm always down to ride so if any of you are in the area, traveling or whatever I'd be glad to share some road with ya. I'm thinking an xs400 meetup sometime when this awesome winter weather clears up ?
