Only you can put a price on it matey. If you put it on fleabay with a reserve of a figure you're happy with, it will find its level there.
Suppose, i had thought around the 1600-1700 mark. but i cant find an example of such a fixed wr400 being sold on ebay with all the spares etc.
-
Looking at potentially selling my WR400, However ive no idea on a price to ask. Can anyone give me an idea on what you think its worth?

lightly ported and polished exhaust ports on cylinder head, lapped valve seats.

2. Rear Brake lever short(put new full length lever on now)
Again just to reiterate, All the parts on the bike have only 500 odd miles usage, the bike feels amazing, feels very light in the corners, wheelies 1'st, 2nd off throttle etc. Bike will be having valve clearances checked, oil changed and new filter before sale.

did think that, but ive read a lot of tracks wont let you use drinks containers, looked on supermotodaz but i reckon hes too expensive. doesnt make sense you can get a litre sized oil catch tank for a car for £18 + postage. a tiny catch tank for a bike = £50........
-
Got bored, so washed the bike in the garden, tried some alloy wheel cleaner and i think they look great.
Pay days Friday, need to order a catch tank as i keep leaving little 50p sized oil patches in the garage haha.
Anyone recommend a motorcycle sized catch tank? all the ones on ebay are .75 liter capacity for a car etc.. -
very nice sir...
cheers dude, getting their. fancy ASV levers and a few other extra's..just got no spare cash now haha
-
Got the new plate on. Exhaust gasses should miss it now.
Then the new mudguard went on:
the new guard looks much smaller in person. The shape is much nicer I think too. It also doesn't have the metal support on top so should be lighter too :-)
-
mudguard and new number plate have arrived :-)
Will be fitting the guard tonight. fingers crossed it fits...
Hoping it looks shorter than this: -
cheers! its rough around the edges. I'd replace the header pipe but i cant find 2nd hand anywhere and £120+ postage is a lot of money for something im not 100% on performance/sound gain. I'd looked at the cams purely to get rid of manual decomp.
once my mud guards on and my new numberplate, i'll take a look at the braided front brake hose. after that its just going to be sticky tyres for summer and enjoy the bike for a while. I'll probably get the itch over summer to up performance though
-
This plate is actually over sized. It's 9 x 7.5 so I've bought the 8 x 6 :-)
url=http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=271327078550&alt=web]newfront mud guard
just bought this so the front doesn't look so weird
-
Awesome photo, What header pipe is that? im still on stock header, stock cams, stock intake, just lightly ported and polished exhaust.
took the bike out for 2 hours today, got lost multiple times but was fun to go out on my own (i must be sad hey...)
Yes i know the side panels falling off (forgot to put its bolt back through after some cable tidying)
All in all i much prefer the black seat, feels comfier too even though theres less covers now haha. Bikes running well, just ordered a smaller plate as my 9x7 is getting burnt by the exhaust now -
fun it was... no the front end wont go in. if you are looking a good disc try a talon. i never managed to bend one or warp one and either a bracket for your own caliper or what i used was a pretech 4 piston caliper. not sure if they still make them but they where a great caliper and pretty cheap. i dont think i have anything left from mine other than a seat but i will have a hunt in the brothers place just incase. the main weak point if you dont change them is the big end. the rod itself is fine but the big end if it isnt changed can wreck the engine though as yours isnt being raced it should be grand.
looked at pre-tech's website, but cant see a caliper listed for the YZ/WR sadly, Any ideas on the model, or any other possible replacement? i think the main problem ive got with the brake is the whole brake feel and the fact it feels completely under braked compared to my previous bikes. Worth looking at a front braided line too? or just whack a better master cylinder on/fit 4pot up front.
-
Thanks Rob,
i had heard of changing the master cylinder but couldnt find an exact answer so thank you!, i was originally looking at the EBC 320mm disk/bracket upgrade. Any ideas if i can use the whole front brake off the cbr6?
57bhp must have been fun
i cant imagine its got too much bhp right now, but feels faster than my old ccm @ around 40hp.nice build sir. i raced a 426 in supermoto trim for a number of years. even after the 450s came out the 426 was faster due to having the 5 speed gearbox when the 450s came with 4 gears. id hunted the planet and found a yamaha kit cdi and matching ti pipe for it. i also ran the higher comp piston and flowed head. wee bike went well and it was giving a real world 57 bhp, more than enough at british championship level.. you asked about master cyl size? no real improvments with the standard caliper but if you fit a 4pot you need a master cyl of a honda cbr 600 . from 1993 to 1997 they have the correct ratio.
also gearing wise on faster tracks it would pull 16 .38.
oh also forgot it had 1mm oversize inlet valves in stainless as ti valves in those can stretch.
cheers

Got my seat Re-covered by the mrs' dad. So it turns out the bike had 2 covers on :-)
Looks much better in black. I'm very happy. Just got to put it back on the bike.
Going to take the carb off the weekend and give it a clean. See if I can solve this weird cruising miss.
-
Take a look at the mobius cam ( wide lense)
-
Hahha sorry about that, the original video was longer but i slipped on mud and would have looked a fool
Also i wasnt sure how long my camera records for as the SD card was nearly full. so was in a rush Went out on saturday to Bromsgrove. bike ran great, However randomly its started missing when kept at constant rev's. So i put some good fuel in, same issue. tried adjusting the carb settings, same issue. Bike revs cleanly and accelerates perfect, so im at a loss.
1. going to check grounding of my coil
2. clean/check carb
3. check spark plug and plug gap (i didnt set the gap when it was installed)
4. check jets/replace as per new can install. -
cheers guys appreciate it! :-)
waiting on my seat cover to come from the states currently. Gone for all black with a gripper cover.
Also looking at crash bungs and an oil catch tank, as me and my friend have been talking about tracking our bikes on a supermoto kart track and you need both to use the track.
I'm going to enjoy the bike for a few months, then look at changing the cams out, fit a better header pipe. Then get her dyno'd. so i know my power figure.
-
Videos as promised:
idle and rev
drive by
Nice little wheelie on acceleration on the drive by :-)-

Where's the vid....We want to hear it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well i did take one. but you just cant make any actual sound out of the video. probably didnt help me filming in the garage with all doors shut..........
I'll get a video soon, idle, rev, flyby etc.
-
got bored and gave it a quick clean. revved it yesterday and i must say it barks now.....idle appears quieter. glad its a toy rather than commuter
-
Before: (note tank,panels,seat are all not secured)
Comparison:
After: (its quite a bit longer than the cut down stubby can)
Sundays the day ill hear it for the first time.... ear defenders on standby -
Well my exhaust has just turned up. much better condition than i thought it was going to be, also came with all the clamps. checked its TI which im happy to say it is :-)
Getting fitted tonight -
She's gonna sound bloody fantastic ross, changing the can was a great move for me too on my TTR, it transformed the bike
Cant wait :-)
-
small update,
Dropped the coolant and got the old coolant hoses off.
Old + New
New hosing in place with inline water temp sensor for the vapor dash
The ti end can should be here tomorrow, so ill fit tomorrow and hopefully go for a ride at some point over the weekend, see how she sounds.
Cheers
Ross. -
Well i just won this on the bay, Arrives friday! :dirtbike: Its supposedly crazy loud.. so will have to see the difference between my stock cut down leaky can vs this.
In other news, I've also attached my vapor power cable which works! :-). ran out of time to fit the hosing today, so tomorrow is samco hosing day.
Cheers!
