that tense moment...
cynic's right about the way the bike looks. my tester actually told me, if the bike looks neglected or has obvious faults, he will make sure it fails coz there will be other serious faults in there somewhere. took my tracker in wednesday. tester " wow that's nice" me "cheers, got no lights, indicators and a cut down exhaust" tester " yea, but its looks great" I wait 5 mins as he checks brakes, then we have a chat about what i've done (he is wasting time as the computer times the start and end of test) passed, with an advisory has "no lights"

never heard of a '79 with kck only, has it wire wheels and drum brakes? if you want to have electric start ( got rid of mine for the tracker and it lost 10 lbs in weight) there should be a silver cover on top of the engine under the carbs. have a squidge in there and see if there are the mount holes (2) to fit one. failing that, buy a duff xs250 engine and you can use the bottom end of that and put on the 400 barrells and carbs! don;t forget you will need to wire in the solinoid and switch etc. head over to www.xs400.com its about xs400's ya know!

Got a new (to me) 1980 xs400 Special
you can get the O ring with some oil filter manufaturers. HIflo I think do them. I always use gen yam oil filters so get one from them if you order. oil filter part # 1L9-13440-00 O ring part # 93210-88324 also clean out your oil gauze, held by 6 m8 bolts underneath the engine block. be prepared to make, buy a new gasket for that one! number 9 in the schematic

crankcase cylinder stud removal
the best bit about those ones is you can get close to the case so less twisting of the studs to absorb the energy!

I agree with dirty, that there needs to be a focal point/something going on for it to work properly. classic event at shepton mallet, racing at castle combe etc etc. then if peeps drop out its still worth going down
