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?

I think its a case of disconnecting electrical connections, then starting with the ignition switch, turn the key, connect something else, turn the key etc. i would start with the starter motor + solinoid first.

mods should post a "sticky" £30 seems steep when you can get a frame and swing arm powder coated in black for £55 at triple S (inc masking and blasting)

seen some on german ebay, try there!!

not sure about copper. look at this...

1st 3 numbers on your engine # will do

we need to know what year and model the xs400 is, there are at least 4 variants over the years!!

you have to strip the carbs down. you can do all the jets ans the carbs would have to be turned over. larger more expensive ones you can immerse the whole carb in it

no problem

the xs750/850's have theirs twixt crankcase and oil filter housing. ie from the oil pump, round the cooler and into the filter.

and a different flasher relay http://www.norbsa02.freeuk.com/goffybulbs.htm do hals for older bike fitment. he attends stafford shows in uk as well.

yeah like that opera bird on luc besson's 5th element film!

only cos its cheap. used it the other day and it works a treat, used warm water and a surficant cleaner (w/up liquid type stuff but no salt) more expensive ones have a heater and larger capacity for speed, i just turn the part around just takes longer.
