Kin 'ell mate, you got a friday bike!! ( ask OG about Friday vehicles )
-
also note that the engine won't turn over with the clutch disengaged/missing as the kick gear moves the gears through the tranny via the clutch to the main drive pinion at the end of the crank!!

you sure its a 1.6? 1.85 is standard as far as I know!

rolled off the table and onto the floor. into the kitchen and out of the door. rolled in the garden and under a bush then your little steel ball is nothing but mush.... mush mush!!

you don't really need a torque wrench for the screw although it only 6lbs ft so don't go mad!! do it yourself its really easy if a little fiddly, try and buy the angled gauges as they can be manovered easily.

is a 77 xs400 engine swappable into a 78?
drewpy replied to armyofda12mnkeys's topic in Yamaha Workshop
As i said all sohc's will fit. if the contacts can be upgraded, then i assume the reverse is true -
no messing there, hate to think if the thing gets caught turning, you'd get a clout then

renew the line and put a wire clamp in there to hold it over the nipple

drewpy replied to armyofda12mnkeys's topic in Yamaha Workshop
its got the electronic ignition trigger which is usually a later engine (circa 1980) and the engine off a special/heritage type bike due to the rounded barrels. there is a thread in the sticky to convert to electronic ignition if you want to go that route, otherwise sell the trigger mech and revert to contacts! 4G8 engine #? -
oil pan? is it the 6 x 6mm screws under the case holding the oil gauze cover? its a tight bugger and with no heads on will come off. Use a rubber mallet to shift it slightly with luck, the screw shafts will be protruding and you can get to weld a nut on to remove.

good to go mate, all sohc's fit! -
generally due to the high power to cc ratio, motorbike engines have higher spec oils. no need to add anything, the best you can do is change the oil regularly, save your money towards that!

xs400 mikesxs-xs650 carb jets interchangable?
drewpy replied to armyofda12mnkeys's topic in Classics
those jets will fit as they are standard mikuni jets. as to the sizes, it all depends what you are trying to do. always best to go richer then down from there. -
I'd leave the tank alone and mod the frame, use the old tank mounts and grind off the old frame mounts . weld on the new mounts to the frame after careful measuring

that was my fave tool!! helped me make loads of stuff!
