Looks like a good honest well looked after bike. Surely cant be too much wrong to sort the coil ??
Any sensible advice accepted. Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Oh dear
I don't think these were ever considered anything other than a huge lemon. Looks tidy but.
$20.00
They are a shit box. $15
Well, I actually bought one of these new back in about 87 or 88 myself. The question kinda comes to mind that if it's just a secondary coil why not fix it and sell it as a properly running unit? Me thinks there's more to it, but then the attitude that comes across in the ad wouldn't make me look any closer anyhow....
Unless you're mechanically minded to fix this bike yourself, I'd say leave it alone.
I went from a GN250 to the XZ400 and it didn't seem like much of an upgrade....with the benefit of hindsight...
Thanks for the input. I know nothing about these bikes.
I was looking for a friend that just wanted a commuter. Surely they arnt that bad and would be a cheap fix ???

They do make a good basis for a cafe racer. Google is your friend.
Friends don't let friends buy XZ400's.
And always blow on the pie.
Buying an XZ400 for a friend will not have a happy outcome....
I sold bikes for Eric Wood back in 1990, these were unpopular even back then, couldn't drag the skin off a rice pudding
Thanks all.
Now off my watchlist.
All your negative comments gratefully accepted.
Haha, that wasn't negative....the collective response was constructive!
I had one. I loved it cos it sounded great. But.
handles like shit
unreliable as fuck
well known for fucked electrics
Dont do it, it isnt worth the hassle. theres a reason they werent made for very long and werent continued.
I dont really see them being collectible or anything either. Unless you were coceived on/over one, Dont bother.
