    I suppose your right to let it go, but what about those days where you just want a blast on C and B roads? The FZ lacks what the TDM has but bloody hell its ace on the twisties and I come back buzzing from the ride.

  7. Try and use super unleaded unless in Scotland parts of wales and West Country. It tends to be no ethanol fuel although some garages won’t tell you.

    Never mind, think of the kudos of doing it yourself? to take bearings out , weld a plate over inner bearing then hit from other side. The welding will heat the bearing too to dislodge any corrosion
  18. You sure you have the right one? there were 2 types of xs400 the Dohc had a different charging system than the sohc

    Lucky you. Hope they are linear front springs as they perform better than progressive. to top it off, get a specialist to set the suspension up for your riding style and weight, only about £40

    the carb orifices are very small on these bikes and gum up too easily. thorough cleaning with ultrasonics and air should get them serviceable. you might even need to do it twice!!
