  1. first off goldfinger I got lost reading the text so I'll start from scratch red/white wire (1into2) connection is switched live feed to coils doubled grey wire goes to right coil doubled orange goes to left coil single grey and single orange to contacts, you will have to swop round these as there is little way of knowing which way round they go as on my bike the colour coding is different on the contact's wires. drewps
  2. Pyro, It'll be nice to see ya in the classic section of this forum drewps

  6. Ipista is it the dohc xs400 or the sohc xs400?
  7. please don't overfill as you'll blow oil seals due to the pressure build up. to replace the camshaft seal, you only need to take off the cam cover and you can do it without removing the engine or anything daft like that. get the manual that's posted atthe top of this section as it gives the order which you undo and tighten the bolts to stop the cam cover warping. tank off, top mount off, tacho cable off, cam cover off.... sorted!! so much for "professionally" rebuilt engine!! drewps

    hey OT your back? do you fancy going for a ride on 20th see rideout section... drewps
  10. brilliant!!
  11. they'll fit but for a cafe racer you need megaphones!! drewps
  12. some 650 were compatible but there were other brake types as well, that's why I said the other bikes to be sure. drewps
  13. calipers won't rust they are alloy. there are rebuild kits around including stainless pistons.
  14. to the forum, like the paint job. Have I seen you on chopper underground?
  15. drewpy replied to mervin's topic in The Bar
    good one!!
  16. If the weathers good I'll be there! drewps I'll give OT a ring as I think he's got pc problems.
  17. its getting the bugger out, unless you can use a thin screw and pierce the rubber, twist a bit to bite in, then pull out. replacing is a simple matter of driving a new one in!! if the screw don't work, you only need to take the cam cover off drewps
  18. on compression stroke of course. recommended oil is 20w 40 5'c plus and 10w 30 < 0'c plus with type SE oil
  19. its usual to use RT and LT marks on the crank for timing, hence the reason they are there. what sort of oil are you using?
  20. oil shouldn't be leaking out and it can only come from the camshaft seal or the joint between the cam cover and head which has no gasket or sealant. I have 2 small holes on mine andI assume they are in case of water ingress/condensation For a cafe racer, i recommed the xs750/850 three's one on youtube and it looks great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owwd19VDbpg
