Seems to be the norm now i am afraid I drive for a living as well and the fun is going out of the job fast !! I no longer let people out of road junctions, they never seem to want to say `thanks` as for 4x4 drivers they have got to be some of the most arogant and ignorant drivers on the road today !!!

Are you sure it is a `restrictor pipe` and not just a double skinned down pipe ??

Have you had a look on the fazer owners club site ??? FOC-U

Nice one mate I like to try to talk in french when we are over there, but I think i confuse them with my Yorkshire/Lincolnshire accent type French ,bloody good fun though trying

May be it`s a new version FJ with linked brakes

Didn`t think that Paris was considered by a lot of the French to be part of France

Yep got to agree with all of the above ,,,,,,, I am getting to the point that I hate riding in Engeeerland,suppose I am lucky that I live in Lincolnshire, except on school and bank holidays I can always find nice quite roads to play on and even when the main roads are busy the back roads can be fun !! 99% of the French are far better drivers than Brits and certainly more bike aware than over here, you still get the ocasional tail gater, but that is getting less and less now and if ever you look like you are in trouble some one allways stops to ask if you are OK, even car drivers !! some thing you wouldn`t get over here !!!!!!!!!!!! My Fazer Thou has 24k miles on it now and 19k has been done in France,just hoping things improve with the Euro before the holidays, would hate to miss going cross the channel next year !!

Sorry don`t know a lot about the Meta type alarms,, I have read about the problems that people have had with them after having a flat battery, i beleve you have to reimput the alarm code, but not sure. I have fitted all my bikes with alarms in the past and would usualy cut the ign wire in the loom and take a lead to the alarm unit then one back to loom, you may have to go into the loom to see if this has been done, if so rejoin the wire and see if it works. It has a twin cricuit immobilistion,,, not sure what that means ?? but like you say it could involve the fuel pump and ECU..

I think it would have been better to have left the alarm on the bike,, but ha ho ,,,,, the Meta has an imboliser fitted as well, have you found the bridge and replaced it or have you just taken all the wiring out ?? Is all the wiring black ? just a long shot,,,,,,, but did you check the kill switch ?? also the side stand and clutch switchs ?

Dunlop do the Arrowmax for this bike front is GT501F 3.25"-19" pressure of 2.1 - 2.5 bar Rear Arrowmax GT501 4.00"-18" Pressure of 2.1 - 2.28 bar Metzeler do the Lazertec tyres Continental also list a tyre for this bike Tyre pressures given and are only a guide for the Dunlops, you need to confirm this !! If you use other makes of tyre then you need to check with that manufacterer..

Have you tried WeMoto ??????? wemoto Just had a look and it looks like they list a white mirror for your bike. Look under... Yamaha FZR600 (3HE) 1991 the 3HE should be the year/model number Hope this helps ??

Bad news about the accident, but pleased to hear you are OK, seems to be the norm at the moment, people don`t seem to take much care crossing roads now,they seem to think that it`s the drivers and riders who should be looking out for them, not them being responsible for there own actions. There was a mobile phone advert not long a go,that suggested that if you used there phone,them everything stopped for you, buildings fell down out of your way, traffic stopped while you where talking to your mates on the phone !! Trouble is , some people seem to beliave this Got agree with whats been said on here though, you must report it. You could , you did, you ride a bike, which means you are guilty till proven inocent,, this is Engerland..

Front headlight is from a 1982 Suzuki GS650GT, that i had spare in the garage and the front indicators are from a Suzuki Bandit.rear indicators are from a Kawasaki..

Optimate is the way to go ........

Do you mean somthing like this ???????? As far as I am aware they are no longer available in the UK,, but as you are in Canada,you may be have more luck than us and be able to get one from the USA. The one on the bike in the pic was made as a one off special for the bike.

Yep,, must agree with both replies above ..............

Have you tried your local Yam agent ?? The parts are still listed and available in Europe Spring x 3 90501-04503 cap x 3 341-15583-05 Pin x 3 93615-12088 This is for the 1981 XS400SH

Hiya, Thanks for the reply will check out the german site,, I allready have the official Yamaha manual for the bike,but there is nothing about the restrictor or the float height setting....

Info you need is on the front page ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Yanaha owners manuals for bikes and scooters....

Any one know what the float hight should be for the DOHC XS400 Seca ??

Hiya,,, Wonder if any one knows what the float hight is for the DOHC XS400,. The bike is an Amercan import and in the inlet rubber there`s a sleel washer acting as a restrictor,it would be nice to derestrict it, but not sure what main jets or pilot jets or what the needle position wouls need to be ?? wonder if anyone has done this ??

Not sure ??? But you could ask on here ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, linky Say "hello" first.........

linky All you need to know on here, or would like to ask about ........... Don`t forget say "HELLO" first .....

If all this fails,,, then you could have found a new source of oil and may be you could be the saviour of the world Just be carefull Mr G Brown doesn`t tax you on it !!

Just a thought,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, You did replace the disc pads ????????? didn`t you ??? Cos they would be well saturated with oil.........
