Unfortunately, sadly, hopefully not regretfully, I'm selling my XS400. Its been an AMAZING learning experience, loads of fun, and I really hope to get another someday. For now, its taking up too much room in the old garage. Plus, I have a lot of other things on my plate (DR250! yaaaa! Also building out a Sprinter van.) right now, and time isn't one of them.
So for sale: A 1982 Yamaha XS400. Its in various pieces right now, but to my knowledge its 97% complete. I say 97% because I can't totally in good faith say that its all there. But there is a large percentage of the parts. I will part out if enough items get spoken for. You pay shipping. Unfortunately, that might limits this to a somewhat local sale. I am in Minneapolis. I could deliver within a reasonable distance for the right price. I'll say that if I can get enough items spoken for, I would possibly part it out. here's a rough breakdown of parts:
– $50 wheels: OG rear 16" with good condition (under 1k miles) tire, and also 2 earlier XS400 (SOHC) wheels. 3 total rims (think of the possibilities!)
– $200 engine: is complete (carbs, uncut/low rust exhaust, complete airbox, etc) and ran as of October. Compression around 140 psi in both cylinders. I posted a video somewhere. I was hoping to make an Arduino-based ignition, but that didn't work out for various reasons. Maybe I'll try again someday, but not with this
– $20 frame: uncut, but added/welded material to top so I could sit higher. Im tall. You could remove and maintain the integrity of the frame if you wanted.
– $20 seat: yep. Good condition.
– $30 exhaust: here
– $100 Tank: You better believe it. Painted. Zero rust inside.
– $40 Keys: get a load of this. Same key for ignition, tank, helmet lock, and fork lock. I think I have 2 keys.
I feel like this is a pretty good deal, and I'd love to pass it on. Pics coming soon, or upon request. I'm happy to take offers, let me know. Thanks!
