    how can the starter motor be filled with oil?, there is a water drain hole on the bottom left side, but i can't see any other way for oil to get in there! If your on the side stand and remove the 4 allen bolt stator cover, oil does come out. the bike needs to be on its main stand to remove the cover and left case. oil pools there via the crank bearing don't forget the starter clutch, which wears flats. you can get new kits from mikes SX

    way hay!! congrats to you both hope Claire likes bikes as much as you?
  13. apply voltage and you should hear a click as the bus bar go across the terminals inside the unit. try and get a code off it as relays are really common and cheap.
  14. 14v @ 3k revs is within spec. with these bikes, you need a good battery, if it's not holding charge then you wan't get back a decent charge!! the tesing of the solid state voltage regulators only states the above test (14v - 14.7v) with a fully charged battery. rectifiers are diodes which only allow electricity to flow in one direction. this process converts AC current to DC, that is why you won't get a reading one way. I'd check battery condition firstly NEVER RUN ENGINE WITH BATTERY DISCONNECTED! drewps BTW I just posted a link for a parts book for the SJ under xs400 links
  15. only company i know of PSW customs
  16. when you get the bike going, run a volt meter on the Batt terminals. you should be getting 13 - 14.5 volts at 3k revs. if not i suspect the voltage regulator first drewps

    Clever bit of coding - it's all perfectly safe for work, until you select all of the text and colour is automatically applied to each letter. http://fichtre.net/yop.html
  21. I'd tend to lean towards clutch drag. make sure its adjusted at the engine side first. there is another thread about this which, quite frankly, has been done to death
  22. got them from HEL
  23. that GL750 was a rare one, built to offset kwacker KH and the suzie GT triples! thanks for posting
