  6. SOHC xs400's are tubed tyres but you can use tubeless tyres with tubes in them. I can't recommend anything other than BT45's they are the best, Merv will confer with me as they also suit the RD's. I use them on my xs and can say they rock. I used them at wombwell kart track and they never kicked out even when grinding the footrests. drewps
  7. 3 speedo cables went to the pub. they waited outside and 1 went in to be served. " 3 pints of bitter please" said the 1st speedo cable. "your a speedo cable aren't you?" said the barkeep "yes" said the 1st speedo cable. " get out, I don't serve speedo cables" said the barkeep the 2nd went in and the same happened to him. when he went outside to the other speedo cables, the 3rd one said wait here and rubbed his cable all over the road till it frayed and for good measure turned himself inside out into a knot. " 3 pints of bitter please" said the 3rd speedo cable. "your a speedo cable aren't you?" said the barkeep " no said the 3rd speedo cable, I'm a frayed knot" wa wa waaaaaaa!!!! to the madhouse

    there is a school of thought when running-in a bike to thrash it for the 1st 20 miles with mineral oil and then change oil to the bikes standard oil (eg semi-synth) what this does is beds in the rings to the bore and so making a better seal giving better oil consumption (if any) I did this with my XS on a rebore and can say Ive never had a smoking issues (cough!) and currently have the engine in bits transfereing to an NOS case, and the bore is A1. I have also heard (on T'internet) that some peeps run their bike in gently and its been smoking and burning oil for that very reason after 10k miles. Unfortunatley you will have to make your own mind on this ( warranty) and have a trawl through google!!

  14. Here's a tip for you: When you start going out with someone, just after they go to sleep at night, put a nicotine patch on their arm. Then, just before they wake up in the morning, take it off again. This way, if they ever leave you, they'll get withdrawal symptoms, think it's love, and come back.
  15. ride indoors or in summer
