I did it on my xs400. you need to dremel (with the sanding drum bit) the middle of the part that the wire runs in. then pull out the old wire. you will see a steel skewer where you will insert the new wire , but you need to use 5min epoxy before you insert and finish off with expoy over the bit you dremeled out!! got this from the xs1100 site but can't find it now they updated the site found it

thanks for the update drewps

according to this site its a DT 200 RB, 1991, engine code 3BN so I'm not sure of the 124cc on the bore but 3mb00 is a TZR125 here the bottom numbers are 1st gear, neutral, 2nd gear, etc etc

low float height gives this effect, try looking at this site as it explains carbs and different probs drewps

not quite sue what you are saying Merv

yep, i run BT45's with tubes

2A2 is def not tubeless, you are running the risk of tyres running off the rim as the wheel edge is different. Its ok for them to say see if it holds air, but that's not the full picture!! I don't want to put; "told you it was tubed" on your head stone (melodramatic, but couldn't resist) drewps

checked my manuals xs400 sg (3F9), SH (4r4), sj (14v) were tubeless all other models tubed

Hi, I have an XS400 and its only running on 2 cylinders. What shall I do? drewps

why are you answering a question from 2005? can you please see the sticky regarding sig size as its too big mate HERE

yep the clutch plates need to be compressed for the kick start to work. It goes via the gearbox to the engine crank. when the engine starts the same is reversed but the kick is detached from the gearbox due to the ratchet mechanism. measure you inner and outer cable and ask the members here to see if they are the same length!!

you can run tubeless tyres but with tubes. but check with manufacturer/retailer before purchase for different makes ( i run BT45's)

where do you stick it!! (not where'd you like to )

looks like a cylops its good fun messing with bikes what ever shape or form. did you see OCC do their mopeds up? some good paint jobs there from nubs!

roman lakes not far from linnet clough scout camp site. great area i think your supposed to stick a banana somewhere, to stop the pain!!

maybe minnie the minx?

martin, enjoy your stay with us, please note the fire exits , there ...and here..

to the YOC douth drewps

I think you need to check the valve gaps. I doubt that cam timimg can slip as a chain can't physically jump a tooth whilst sitting in a garage!! could also be hydraulic lock! maybe the previuos owner poured a load of oil down the bores in preparation of storing it? take off the sparkies and gap the valves, than try again drewps

A man approaches a farmer 1 day and asks him will he sell him his donkey foal, the farmer replies yes and they agree on a price of £500. The man then says that he will be round the next day to collect the donkey. The next day the man arrives to collect the donkey, and the farmer explains that the donkey has since died. The man says not to worry I’ll still give u £50 for it. The farmer is delighted with getting money for a dead donkey. The farmer asks the man why on earth he wants a dead donkey for. The man says that he was going to raffle the donkey off. The farmer says u can’t raffle a dead donkey to which the man says of course you can. A month or so later the farmer bumps into the man he sold the donkey too. He asks him how he got on with the raffle. Great replies the man, I sold the tickets for £5 and made over £1000 profit. The farmer asks, and what did you do when the winner saw that the donkey was dead? What do you think I done?? I gave him his fucking £5 back!!

to the forum the xs400 is popular in the US and Germany but less so here!! never mind it kinda makes it more exclusive

some guy in Derby UK got some made years ago and I managed to get one. you should find that the xs750, 850 and 1100 share the same resevior.

enjoy yourself WF and lets be careful out there!!
