Northern Meet
this topic should be in ride out's and meets section. Squires is a great place and a fair few here take time out to make the trip. blackhat always gets lost, he follows us then gets bored and waves as he blasts past us and that's the last time we see him for a few hours

brake fluid ratios an master cylinders
there's only 1mm difference so the rear pedal will travel a bit further, but you should still have a rear brake. have you tried it with this set-up yet or are you assuming there is a problem?

Puig Fly Screen
got one on the 400 and it was a boon on the motorway. I think if it was windy you will get benefit by tucking behind it. don't talk about waist, mines expanding due to crimbo

Dual disc front brakes DOHC 1982/1983 XS250/400 RJ/RK
i would say the carbs need cleaning as they don't like the modern fuels and easily gum up. there's a few guys from aus on www.xs400.com who may be able to help with regional stuff for you

Riding with a blown indicator bulb

Dual disc front brakes DOHC 1982/1983 XS250/400 RJ/RK
I wouldn't have the lock tabs in stainless, its the wrong steel for bending. you can still get them from yamaha or try HVC cycle. I think the slotted disks was off the ypvs 350 but can't remember if they fit or not!
