yea, give it a blow job

this has been dealt with many times. its usually the voltage regulator

wear it in London, it'll be deserted

:lol: :lol:

reminds me of flash gordon, yeo its a beeza 650 twin

looks......different! what do you think?

it's a 125, and it will never sound like a HD Fatboy. might not need to rejet after changing exhaust have you tried custom fasteners in wales boyo? they do custom stuff

I am assuming the base has rotted? you may find a new seat at speedsport (USA) cmsnl (Dutch) Govnors Bridge (UK) other than that try german ebay as their stuff seems to last (i got mine from germany)

I thought the thatcham level security would reduce premiums.... and growing old helps too

to the YOC andre3000 Hayyyy yehhhhh!

go on, that'll be a laff!

i have a little one fits no problem the whole thing looks like a reverse L. btw you can undo the carb connection and turn the union to the horizontal position

sounds like a carb issue. pulling the clutch in then the engine revving could be either a sticking throttle cable or you have a weak mix. does the bike rev in neutral? army; all xs400's have false neutrals some where, mine is between 5th and 6th if you adjust the drive chain, it helps gear changing immensly

not sure why you need to change the spec of the starter sprocket! maybe the chain has worn past its use by date or the guide is worn?

Velcome to de forumz cliton

you have two chances of that; No chance and fat chance

I've got one

catalogue mistakes aside, yes they are the same part cause that is the only part # they can go by!

its in me diary, better be good weather

yep that's no problem for either applicaion and it'll work out cheaoer

you can either get replacement stantions (disco volante)or have them hard chromed and re-ground (philots in UK) lowers just need stripping and rebuilding, wirth do pregressive upgrade springs

yes

get the part number and try http://216.168.60.165/speedandsportinc/index.tpl

you can bend them a bit at the tips. I always set them to the smallest gap and feel a slight drag. BTW the things are noisy anyway so don't expect quiet, these are an aircooled 30 year old bike pre noise restrictions so don't be too hard on yourself. mine do make a clatter and that was after full rebuild with new parts! it all adds character to the bike the valve gaps are for timing not noise prevention

firstly, your not a moron, its probably stuck in the socket. i reckon a little wd40 up the inner cable to the tach and a bit of time to seep in should do it. next time you put it back, put a little dab of coppaslip on it!
