A doctor on his morning walk, noticed the old lady above, sitting on her front step smoking a cigar, so he walked up to her and said, "I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?" "I smoke ten cigars a day," she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food. On weekends, I pop pills, get laid, and don't exercise at all." "That is absolutely amazing! How old are you?" "Thirty-four," she replied.

if the worst comes, you can buy gasket kits to repair and clean out the tank at the same time!!

i think when this question has come up before, it all depends where you live!! it comes down to type of fuel and the climate. I'd start rich like you have suggested and take the needle down to dial it in. better still invest some time on a dyno which will give you a fuelling curve and will gie you the info for your bike. I'll be doing that with my tracker when it gets an MOT!! drewps

you can use xs400 stuff as they are exactly the same. the specials had a shorter silencer and a more curved downpipe. you could fit the standard type longer one from SITO exhausts. there was a new system on ebay last week so try searching xs400 as well as xs250. you can also get seat covers and starter buttons there. other suppliers cmsnl.com, granbys, motoward, fowlers, jim patch. A friend of mine had down pipes made for him out of stainless for £60 a pair, which was cheap if your that way inclined. don't for get if you use short pipes, yamaha used a cross pipe underneath to efectivly lengthen the exhaust outlet. Also try Armours in Poole, dorset. drewps
