if he got his license, then yes he would. I suppose i could always just leave it in the shed!

to the YOC another xj600 owner

did 20 miles on the ped today, it rained but I was having a hoot anyway. Went to Bolton to get some flag spade connectors for the FZ. and the traffic was horrendous but it managed to keep up with the traffic with a following wind. I have just bought a slow running jet kit as a couple of times it really bogged down. gave little G a wash treat afterwards.

yes, it runs great (at the vendors) awaiting some more wiring products and need to set my floats on the carbs,then it should run again!

I think the shed is anchored to the ground lallsro. wouldn't get a police endorsement otherwise

just seen this product, not cheap, put they claim you won't even need a chain http://brodco.co.uk/motorbike-storage/

no you havn't, it starts again. As of April this year 1973 bikes are tax free. Got £10 back from the recently taxed moped

wow, what a find!

OK,here are some photos 1/ Engine 2/ electrics 1 3/ Electrics 2 fitted an R1 reg/rec onto a finned alloy plate I "acquired" in a previous job, should keep it cool and managed to fit the diversion coils in too with a little bit of jiggery pokery. Awaiting new HT leads and will need to extend the reg/rec wires as the old style had a mini loom on them ;(

go on tasky, your dying to have a go

pictures would be boring bits of wire and engine to look at, but if your really keen to see them. The engine isn't scrap, I have another cyl head to put on and deciding whether to breathe on it a bit. everything I've done can be undone just as easily.

..............or run out of fuel.

probably would for workshop questions, then we'd get allsorts posted in there too. Having said that, q's about bike fixes are the reason peeps stumble onto this site. its still No1 when I google yam stuff

been doing a bit, but sometimes its over whelming

nice, very nice bike and great purchase timing Merv

can we change the font to Vote for Tommy - DDT, Slice, Andrew, Foamy, Drewpy ( with new font) Vote for Kevs Noise I would like my cash back

first get a manual. head over to xs400.com for the "paperwork" an '81 could either be the rare dohc bike or the last of the sohc bikes so you need to let me know the first 3 letters/number of the engine. you should have electronic ignition, so everything sounds fine there. Make sure you have the right grade plugs in, then as airhead said, check compression is 155 psi, warm with throttle fully open. could indicate either sticky piston rings or worn bore. another thing is these bikes don't like standing, modern fuel gums up in a month. I'd give it an "italian service" ie give it some beans to clear the engine out!

i done my bit ...and was rejected

working that day and Its Houghton tower sprint on that day too.

camera and vid footage he sent last week

she'll box your ears matey
