drewpy

MMM, last time I rebuilt the petcock it leaked. Can't remember what I did to fix it though, I got an old one in me bitz box somewhere, give me till tomorrow and i'll dismantle it and check for you Drewps

to the YOC don't forget to close those cemetary gates when you leave

I'd say, carbs, exhaust, prop shaft lines/cables etc lie the bike on the side (everythng else is taken off) and lift the frame off the bike! why not send it for pwder coating. triple-s in bingley is not too far and don't charge much. they blast it and cover all the threads. here

still sunday Isn't it John?

fully charged battery. that's all I can think of except switch on the ignition

xs400 will fit in with no mods

and little Frank

I'd check the the ignition timming starting with the points gap using dwell if you have one. then strobe the bike drewps

is OG on the run again?

A-OOP david good intro! I like the triples especially the grey ones. electrics are the bugbear of the triples. Lots of the xs and rd range parts bins will cross over, just need to do a visual check. I have xs1100 brakes on mine, sounds good, but they are exactly the same as a 400 just the extra disk fitted and larger bore Master cylinder. SR calipers are the same and live on the left hand side while xs400/250 are on the right ( inc carrier) drewps

can't you stick a stick oop the hole protruding into the tank?

I can just picture you now OT...... with your 1 candle power torch

wrap the tank in rags and wedge it in a cement mixer!! that'll get the stuff all over for minimum effort

to me (i've had a few pints at this point) red, blue and brown are connected when the switch is in the "on" mode in park "P" mode, Red and blue are connected which enables the lights to work independantly of ignition. my igntion switch had a fourth wire to the main beam switch, which i soldered in

you forgot this one

gazza

liam

i kick the bike on no stands, astride the beast!

that was wank

buon compleanno Boss! nice pressie England winning today!!

you could turn the socket and screwdriver so it all come out and then see if the nut is damaged

cristian if you want to post a want, please use the wanted section thankyou very much for your interest in the YOC

if its blue i think it will be headlamp. get a online manual located in the xs400 sticky in the classic section (pioneerx links works)

looks sic I'd change the pipes to straight thru with internal baffles and I like wraps on the downpipes
