Super weird new one just happened while out night riding 1981 Yamaha xs 400. Was totally fine last night and all day, so I don't think its related to battery. The signals and brake light are still working fine. Just no headlight(lo or high) and no dash cluster lights. If headlight is burnt out would that affect the cluster/panel to quit somehow? Never had wiring issues in the past.

Does anyone have a seat on their XS400 from Texavina? How is the quality and comfort?
They seam to be reasonably priced for a direct fit seat with no modification. (Roughly $190 + 75 shipping before taxes).
If you have one could you share your experience and if you would suggest them or not? Thanks!

Hello all, it’s been a while since I posted last. Have had multiple things getting in the way of my build, primarily getting my 2007 V-Star 650 back on the road. Spent the past week finishing up that, then spent the weekend starting to tear down the XS 400. I seriously have hundreds of photos and could probably do my own Clymer/Haynes manual! Haha I am getting the majority of pa...

I’m posting some before pictures of my 81 Special as well as showing her off. She’s about to get a new paint job and a new set of tires. Her name is Matilda. Stay tuned!

Hi!

I decided to do a basic valve ajdustment on my bike which i got last year and noticed theres a lot of play on one of the rocker arms. In my opinion at least. Ive ljnked a video down below. Is that normal? And if its not - how would one go about fixing it? Complicated job? Or doable for a newby in his garage? Video:
