  1. ebay is your friend http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YAMAHA-XS400-XS-400-FUEL-TAP-REPAIR-KIT-206347_W0QQitemZ400057646583QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motorcycle_Parts?hash=item5d254b3df7 the calipers will need stripping ie take out the brake piston and check for rust. you can get stainless pistons from germany 20euros or get someone to make a set! also sounds like the carbs need a strip and ultrasonic clean with new needles etc

  9. tick over does mean the bike is running at idle! 8000 miles on a set of contacts may need renewing!
  10. there's no balancer pipe with SITO's that I know of for xs400's! they are a bit long as my friend has them on his. they look well made though! can't comment on the price as don't buy exhausts from the states! drewps
  11. I'd invest in a xenon strobe lamp as it times the ignition spot on when on tick over. (try ebay only £20) you need to check the heal of each contact for wear as this will send off your timing adjutment! or just buy a new set of contacts. don't forget that the firing is done 180' as the pistons move up and down alternatly not together a la brit bikes!!
  12. can you not press it out with a cranked tool? there's a vid here
  13. cafe racer is from the UK perchant in the 60's to ride bikes fast (100mph) most guys hung out at cafes which were along the main roads where they raced! xs400 cafe Bobbers were from the US where the GI's back from the war "Bobbed" their bikes by shorteneing the rear fenders and lightening the look of the 50's machines, then there's "brat style" which is Japanese which is a mix of street tracker and bobber

    Crazy SatNav

    never used a sat nav, always pre check the route before hand and then ask people if i lose me way.(rare) the thing is, the more you do it this way, the more you tend to get a better sense of direction!
  16. Just a heads up that there's going to be a new magazine called Practical Sportsbikes focussing on bikes from the 80's and 90's. fist issue is out 3 rd March, yam LC's, GPZ and susuli Katana drewps
  17. carbs are brand new and cost me £20 just had to put a 135 mains in for the K&N's but may up to 138 for the "free flow " exhaust ( no baffles )
  18. jeremy there is an baffle insert you can put inside the downpipes ( headers)
