manchester Toy run 7th November
weather was great and nice to see OG there. Kev went but was fasionably late so we missed each other. anyways here are a few pictures OG tinseling up A rose between thorns the 3 amigos the final destination the oldest bikes there must have been at least 600 bikes there it was a shame that the police pulled out of any responsibity so we had to fend for ourselves and it fragmented the riding group. will do it next year though drewps

Tyre squeak
have you checked tyre pressures? it could be moving slightly in the bead!!?? try deflating and reinflating, it might just need re-bedding in the rim!

The XS500 gets a rebuild
looks like you are going the right way about it. don't forget to take LOADS of pictures as you go. break the work into modules, eg brakes, engine, electrical, dials etc, label and box everything in its modules with bubble wrap. list every thing you need and tick it off when bought, I find I buy at least 2 items of the same part try not to rush, but don't stall the project or you'll get peed off with it. have fun..... drewps

Yamaha 400 run to redline after hard start
probably all the fuel and choke cleaner you put in the engine. has it settled down yet or still reving? could also indicate a very weak(lean) mixture!! Air getting in somewhere ( use easy start or similar to check for leaks) drewps

Primary carburetor fuel leak
a few pointers here http://www.factorypro.com/tech/carbtun.html http://jrs.uk.com/JRS_Home.html make sure you have al gaskets, you will need an impact driver for those bloody float bowl screws ( unless they are allen type) borrow an ultrasonic cleaner for the parts. have a manual handy and work CLEAN!

XS400 Yoke problem
see what you mean now, strange one that. All i can think of is the original setup had a front end collision sending both yolks out so will align with themselves. A new part would change that!! just an idea

82 XS400SJ Master Cylinder
I think there was a specific master cylinder for this bike with extra angled mount to level the cylinder. sounds like there is air in the system for the lever to pull back like that. if the xs650 has similar bars and is single disk, then you should be ok with that. drewps
