On a bitterly cold winters morning a husband and wife in Dublin were listening to the radio during breakfast. They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the Snowplows can get through." So the good wife went out and moved her car. A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through. "The good wife went out and moved her car again. The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park...." Then the electric power went out. The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through?" Then with the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to blondes exhibit, the husband replied, "Why don't you just leave the bloody car in the garage this time."

there's an xs250 on ebay and he has 2 sets of wheels. One set is spoked. email him and pay what he asks for here

no tickover IS 1250rpm

emissions!! not part of an xs400's MOT as far as I know

yeah! Akropovic disease is pretty painful kevinb

i think the front wheel is 19"

I use PEEKS polish as its not too abrasive and does fibreglass as well. i also started using protect and shine that Goff recommended, and thats god stuff too. waxing the chrome is good too,but don't use windowlean as it has amonia. I don't have any rust on my bike

tick over is 1250rpm, suprised yours could at 900!!!!

xs250 uk version had disks front and back ( and i got 2 sets, and i'm using them ) buy the whole bike if you have to, one went on ebay a month ago for about £150

wa wa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

so long as you change the oil regulary....

just notify the dvla re: engine size and engine number. and of course insurance. shouldn't have probs there as the running gear is the same as the 400 so should'nt have to be an inspection!! drewps

most definatly after, just get a sharp knife and cut out any paint/powder coat. any good bike powder coaters should blank it off anyways drewps

couldn't even ride up it on the DT

must apologise for blackhat, he has forum stutter to the forum, great intro, great bike

and no bumping or you'll jump the record!!

I would get new ones made. Do the job properly and it'll look good too

as far as i can remember , both the bearing races are the same size. i remeber this as I thought i'm made a boo boo and drifted out and swapped round to find exactly the same I took off the rubber seal on the bottom of the lower fork yolk to assist with fitment!!
