I think my XS-400 is trying to nickel and dime me to death so I'll get pissed and do a full tear down and rebuild..

So now after a week of no problems it's blown a fork seal.

I think it knows the tax refund is due in soon Smile

Well ya know since the forks will be off new headstock bearings would be nice.. Can't do that and ignore the swinger bushings..
Well both wheels are off and I did want new tires.. Hmm this could get expensive...

Ah the joys of owning a "classic" ... Buddy I hear you on the electrical gremlins. I just decided to redo the whole wiring harness instead of trying to figure out what is wrong with the one that is on it. This way I know everything is reliable and new.
