this is why you do your own, its a bike and not too hard and you build up your tools as you go along. plus you get more satisfaction from it. having said that, my mate this weekend had snapped off a caliper bolt on his cb750F1 When he drilled it out, he didn't realise he drilled right through the fork and it wasn't till the bike was put back together he got oil pissing out everywhere you live and learn as they say

I still do....

sweet ride, don't overtune it as you won't be able to sell it on later when you want a bigger bike

great wheels mate, stubby exhaust would be the way to go!! drewps

you speaking patwa now merv?

pugrsvmille post in the classic or workshop section if /when you want tinkering advice

I'd try similar keys and wiggle around as the locks are old now and you may be able jump the tumblers. press down the cap when doing it to lessen the friction on the hook!!

Hi Yamdude, to the forum the brakes for your xs400, if it is an SOHC mode,l your brake caliper is shared with xs750, 850 and 1100 models (all from the right side of course). If you have lugs on your other lower fork you can have dual disks and use all the latters left calipers plus the Sr500 which have their single cliper mount on the left. if it is the dohc model some xj stuff will fit it. there is a sticky for xs links, top of classics drewps

its the same as the 400's and 360's there's a sticky at the top of classics containing the manuals with step by step how to... here

chopper underground has loads

thanks for the info, hopefully useful in the future (if anyone bothers to search!! ) drewps

great news, take it easy at first

or get a "proper" PC and upgrade anytime

and best to post in "classics" or "workshop" as you will get a better response drewps

got my daugter a shewee for xmas.. she was NOT very happy. I thought it was very useful!!!

all the best mate, pop back evry now and then to say hi

cna't see the125 and 250 but def the motogp

bloody 'ell might be their last world tour!!!!!

did you check the fuses? seca's are tubeless I think but you can put a tube in if your stumped drewps

yep, its supposed to be there. that's why there is a gasketed cover on the end. It only pours out on side stand (i know from experience) with the cover missing, so timing etc on main stand is no problem drewps

may be if you know the size, maybe someone with a 650 can help as they look too big for springs from 400 carbs drewps

I just put Tomtom in search and I got 15 posts put panniers in another search and it should find it for you drewps
