FR firing right pot, FL firing left pot. these are the markings you use to strobe. make sure the bike is at tickover ie not activating the advance mechanism. I'd highlight those markings with tipex paint, the LT and RT marks are for valve adjustment

oh dear! did a couple of hours today meself. I re tuned my bike yesterday using a dwell AND strobe together, worked a treat! just got to cure a tank slapper @ 80 now (hopefully just loose head bearings)

cheers for that link Vez, I'll contact them.

managed to persuade an xs1100 oil cooler on the tracker, and have a 1998 XJ600 diversion adapter plate (but no hoses, anyone got any?)that has the right dimensions to fit the 400. here are some pikkies

Hi M&M and re- to the forum there's not too many differences on the engine specs for the heritage, in fact I have the official yamaha SH manual I use for my 2A2 model. 1981 is the SH model and is 4R4 http://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-xs400sh-1981_model8826/partslist/ not surwe what parts your after, but you may struggle for seats and badges.
