no, i said you can use the xs1100 master cyl! the brake lever is irrelevant as its just a replacable part and common to all yam bikes of the era. you need a left caliper and mount for the dual system, check the caliper pictures as some had a swinging caliper which is different from the floating caliper which I think you have!!

what was the oil like when you changed it. this will give you an indication of wear. ie did the last owner change the stuff

let us know what you decide to do BH250. http://www.rschrome.co.uk/index.html this was the one I used http://www.classicsandchrome.co.uk/1.html

Jordan you can use xs1100 master cyl and left caliper and mount or if you can't find the left side stuff, SR500 caliper mounts on the left side. I tried the T pipe route but couldn't find room on an xs400 so used dual banjo on master cylinder ( no, not deer hunter music ) drewps

if you've just bought the bike, get a manual and service everything (should do that anyway) check timing, cam chain tension and valves. that way you get to know the bike in your own time and not at the side of the road (especially in the middle of nowhere) and you have a bike you can trust. good luck drewps

moo do you have a fuel filter on the bike? did you check the pet cock and clean? how old is the battery, with electronic ignition you NEED good amps and volts anything under 12.5 is asking for trouble. check charging with multimeter and it should read 13 - 14 volts @ 3k rpm. a duff battery will give the symtoms you describe! drewps

i feel sick

Kin'ell doesn't suprise me

cool, i was thinking of doing one for the scouts, but the nearest track is 3 sisters and I'm not sure how much use they would get out of that. its a great project and well done!! drewps

contact Motad, I'm no exhaust specialist

cool ride, i think the q you need to ask is "what is the width of the the swing arm mount" if it will fit your frame width, the rest you can make fit I'm sure! drewps

your welcome

XS400SH model you can get an offical manual. 20w 40 over 5'C is listed for that model drewps

.....or is it!

two golfers were on a putting green when a hearse drove by. one golfer took his cap off and bowed his head. The other golfer was amazed at this act of respect and told him so! "its the least i could do for the wife" he said

midrange and higher

its on the headstock

on the frame

alls well that ends well! ......or is it!!

you can either buy new italian tubes or get the originals re-hardchromed by philpots or Fit-Forx

if you read the manual to the end there is a section for other variants. drewps

thoese Jackets were pretty cool though ( and cheaper than yours )

they are quiet, try Motad then. they are 2 in 1 lighter and boost mid range but lack lower rev punch like the 1 in 1's
