what "spings" to mind, and I won't keep you in suspension, is that I use 20w fork oil and fill it 6" to the top of the tube. (forks fully compressed with the spings removed) The motor oil option performs badly as i belive that the oil foams and thus reduces it damping properties. wurth (german) and hagon (british) do an uprated progressive sping option if you want less dive. a 400 front end will fit yours if you want disks, but offer out the drum front end as lots of peeps are after those to do cafe racer/bobber bikes!! don't forget that you had a spoked front wheel and, unless you can get a 250 spoked front hub, you will have a front alloy wheel!! hope I didn't put a "damper" on things!!

woo yay good 1

considering neutral is between 1st and 2nd yes you are being too light on it. wear bike boots help as trainers are too soft over the toes. I occasionally get caught out, especially if I hare to down shift quickly at roundabouts

the beady one?

its called valve seat recession. the valve seats wear and the valve starts to seat deeper into the head closing up the valve clearance

thats the problem with them...mucho wonga!!

pioneerX has a site which has the XS400 which is exactly like the 360 (which has a smaller bore)

did you lap them in this time? just a thought, is the head and barrel flat? use an engineers steel ruler and check for warpage, could be gas escaping to next cylinder

as far as you can tell? you need a multimeter and check volatage and continuity of lamps!

and.......did you get a spark?

when running with charged battery. you should be getting 14.5 volts + across the battery terminals @ 3k revs. if not, your voltage regulator has gone.

it will be engraved on a flat part of the crankcase in an obvious position.

all hail King Merv, the courier King!!!

neither 20w 50 i use millars semi synthetic classicsport oil, never use full synthetic as your clutch will slip!!

that was the mens

if you have just rebuilt the motor it could be that it just needs running a bit. The valves need to bed in, I don't think that swopping the camshaft over (temorarily) would do damage unless you miss-timed the valves thus hitting the piston crown. did you use new valves and ground them in or reuse the old but didn't put back into their original place?

An amateur magician accidentally turns his wife into a settee and his two kids into armchairs. He starts to panic. He tries every trick in book but none work so, in desperation, he decides to take them to hospital. Once at casualty, the magician spends a sleepless night while the medical staff run numerous tests on the unfortunate woman and children. Finally, the head doctor comes out into the corridor to speak to the magician. "How are my family?" he asks worriedly, "are they alright?" The doctor replies, "they're comfortable..."

are the valve gaps adjusted ie shims etc? if the compression is more than 10% down I suspect you would have to tear down to investigate further.

what is the key number, should be a 4 digit one. you might get lucky and a subsciber may be able to cut you one or have a spare!!

cheers for that, I'll give them a go as I work in Bury

Goff, which powder coaters in manchester? I could do with a decent one nearby rather than bingley. I tried chicago powder coaters in stalybridge and they were sh!t, and another in broughton who were too expensive.

I had a z400b, with balancers removed, shake rattle and a little roll!!!

reminds me of a V-Max what is the engine number?
