yama xs400 xs250 , are they any good ?
400's are better than the 250, they are lighter and have 38hp as opposed to 27hp. mine will run 80mph all day which is fast enough without getting your self into trouble. simple engines and cycle parts are interchangeable with other bikes in the yam range. they seem to be the choice for modding ATM which makes standard ones harder to find. there is a 360 which is quite rare now and has a lighter crank than the 400, similar power too big forum over at xs400.com or german site xs400.net my mate had a go on mine to Stafford and loved it

XS 250 for a beginner.
the backend is always the first to go when modding the xs, tracker, cafe or other. makes it easier to mount an alternative rear guard on. there's an article in Classic bike about tube bending

spinning wheel bearing
tin can is fine, nice and tight out of all the washers I own. not one is the right size I've now changed my mind, If i have a washer in there, it could move when I change the wheel or something. I think I will make a new spacer 1mm longer. thanks for the offer

spinning wheel bearing
no such luck, but that's the way with abused 'peds. Always throw these little things at you and will soon be forgotten when something else crops up.

Foamy's New Toy, XJ650 Turbo :)
don't drill, weld through a nut and build it out, then you can undo it no problem. its all i ever do for snapped exhaust studs, works every time. IN fact it takes longer to get the welder out, than the job
