drewpy

yamaha service manual only states 12amp @ 5k revs. you can get halogen lamps from which have a lower wattage. I suppose you could get a AGM battery with a higher ampage to provide the nessary juice drewps

love the xmas tree engine, do the fairy lights help ignition? looking good so far!

it is an alternator , but its done without any mechanical connections just magnetic flux the voltage regulation in yours and my xs400 up to '78/'79 was done mechanically and was the weak link (although they can be tweeked to compensate for wear) The combined reg/rec was due to electronics becoming cheaper and smaller and newtronics did an aftermarket combination which works on our bikes (sadly defunct now) tank is a fibreglass honda item i belive, but you can get a similar effect with an xs750 tank. look at Wurths bike as he has one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owwd19VDbpg essentially the 360 is the same chassis as the 250 and 400 up to '79 and rassk make rear sets for these bikes. look at thre xs400 links in this section and you willl find workshop downloads and other bits for you perusal drewps here's a cool racing 400 on youtube

BRB must have missed ur post as prob pissed by then never heard of a tympanium reg/rec? the charging system is a brushless one and the voltage regulator excites the field coil and regulates the AC output that way, if that's any help to ya! there are plenty of cafe racers done here's my fave

very nice, good job there!!

Three men married wives from different countries. The first man married a woman from China . He told her that she was to do their dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away. The second man married a woman from Italy . He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table. The third man married a girl from Ireland . He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.

I spent all day in bed

yea My Bad

my bro has a mobylette (still has!) I realy can't remember the name of that itie bike, bet its worth a bomb now!! cd was free and the KE was £50. CX was nice to ride but shite to look at!! the z400 was £50 and i sold it for £100, sucker!!. it had the balance shafts taken out and vibrated like shite

go and download "on any sunday" and "trans-atlantic match races" and watch them instead. thought it would be ideal to get your DT out, at least it won't overheat in this weather

My first bike was an italian moped, white wall tyres, pressed steel chassis which was half faired at the back. couldn't remember the name and it cost £5 off a mate. 2nd was a CD175, which i built at 14-15 years old with very little tools and no torque wrench so it spewed oil out cause i was too scared to over tighten it In Devon Z400 i got cheap KE175 ditto then a KH125, which i rebuilt In Manchester CX500, which was my mode of transport for a few years till i was taken off it by a myopic driver! Kids/morgage came next then me xs400

would be good in a James bond movie

with a socket under the valve to support it, and another socket over the valve spring retainer. give the latter a wack with the hammer to break the seal of the colletts on the valve stem. Your compressor should work then drewps BTW to the YOC
