    hi Dan, enjoy your new bike. Ian has a "little" problem? better see a therapist
  3. bought loads from USA and with UPS you always pay customs duty value over £18. If you go general air/snail mail I can usually get away with it if they put "gift" on the package.

    Akela is cubs the pikkies don't do the place justice and to top it off, there were loads of bikes around, the most popular were the BMW GS's although i did see an MT01, Mk1 le mans and couple of trikes. and of course the harleys are everywhere!!
  5. drewpy replied to forddude's topic in The Bar
    hope the weather gets better, then you can really enjoy the bike!!
  6. I wouldn't bother except to stick with the recommended lube. any messing may affect the wet clutch!

    finally some pikkies me and my son and daughter at the top of Jockenspitz ( can't spell it) looking down onto Bach from Jockenspitz went for a swim here, no idea where it is as the coach driver took us day out at Fussen, about 2 hours drive away into Germany. this is where the castle is that is used in the film chitty chitty bang bang ( the white one)

    felix, you are better off getting them from the UK ebay. search for "xs250" "xs 250", they have the spokes with disks front and rear!! ( but not all 250's) I have two sets for each of my 400's
  10. should fit as the holes are the same and I dont belive yamaha changed their castings. I think you also have a camshaft seal gone, but check first that the camshaft doesn't rock whilst still bolted in the head!! ( worn) drewps
  11. drewpy replied to felix's topic in The Bar
    whats wrong with the http://www.xs400-forum.de/ site? there are sites within yahoo groups, but they are no good. why do you want an american site felix?
  12. or thread lock/spring washer
  13. drewpy replied to steg's topic in Naked
    if you have the money to burn why not!!
  14. thnks for the link
  15. first question is, why do you want to go for a disk conversion
  16. still listed mate, http://www.georgiawatersports.com/ http://www.nwvintagecycleparts.com/ SKU: 95821-10145-00 BOLT, FLANGE as for the square tank, there are loads in UK ebay!
  17. they are not stripped, they are turning the inside lower damper rod. you need to get a 15mm dowel and chamfer the end then ram it down the inside tube to lock the damper rod after taking out the spring. A grip in the vice to hold it and then try the allen again. it will be tight. next time you do this you need to "shock" the allen off or it will turn again!! drewps
  18. to theforum wtf61! try a little oetrol additive as I think the carbs are displaying a blocked pilot hole at the top front of the carb. this tends to hang the revs. it usually gets worse when hot!! have a look at the sticky at the top of this section as there are some usefull links for you to try. drewps

    Hi Peeps, just got back from 10 days in Austria with the scouts, white water rafting, mountain biking etc. in Stanzach, Lech Tal. bloody knackered now as it was a 26 hour coach journey. I'll catch up over the next few days drewps
  22. drewpy replied to mcmunzell's topic in The Bar
    just google, not sure who sells them in usa, but allens performance seels them in UK. I have seen some new xs650 34mm on ebay.com, should just need to re jet for the bike!! drewps
  23. I shoved a clear washer tube in the lower float bowl with the carbs off the bike and clamped level. easy to do and was 2mm from top of float bowl as per specs. drewps
  24. drewpy replied to mcmunzell's topic in The Bar
    white smoke = fuel, float too high or leaking for cafe look I liked the xs750 tank on the 400!! try new mikuni flat slides, they'll cost though
