  2. I'd check you have brakes shoes first, they'll need cleaning out anyways. normaly after adjusting the pedal height, you adjust the nut on the end of the brake rod, and not the lever. The lever normally has a dot punched on it to correspond with a dot on the pivot shaft into the drum. drewps

    Another XS400

    there are a few wires in my headlight that don't do anything. I think Its a generic loom to cover all the countries. if its a feed make sure its isolated and try the electrics, you'll soon se what doesn't work drewps
  4. if its not been run for a while, the oil control ring can gum up letting oil get past into the cylinder
  5. that's assuming they have filters as some folks "lose" them. the inline filters are usually paper so can filter out that brown Talc type rust you get from uk petrol stations drewps
  6. I am looking for a bmw tank to fit the ATE undertank M/Cyl i just want the base so i have a base (sic!) to work from and I've decided to build the top half. I'll enrole in night school somewhere near Manchester to access tools. drewps
  7. I did it on my xs400. you need to dremel (with the sanding drum bit) the middle of the part that the wire runs in. then pull out the old wire. you will see a steel skewer where you will insert the new wire , but you need to use 5min epoxy before you insert and finish off with expoy over the bit you dremeled out!! got this from the xs1100 site but can't find it now they updated the site found it
  8. according to this site its a DT 200 RB, 1991, engine code 3BN so I'm not sure of the 124cc on the bore but 3mb00 is a TZR125 here the bottom numbers are 1st gear, neutral, 2nd gear, etc etc

    help

    low float height gives this effect, try looking at this site as it explains carbs and different probs drewps
  10. not quite sue what you are saying Merv
  11. yep, i run BT45's with tubes
  12. 2A2 is def not tubeless, you are running the risk of tyres running off the rim as the wheel edge is different. Its ok for them to say see if it holds air, but that's not the full picture!! I don't want to put; "told you it was tubed" on your head stone (melodramatic, but couldn't resist) drewps
  13. checked my manuals xs400 sg (3F9), SH (4r4), sj (14v) were tubeless all other models tubed

  15. Hi, I have an XS400 and its only running on 2 cylinders. What shall I do? drewps
  16. why are you answering a question from 2005? can you please see the sticky regarding sig size as its too big mate HERE
  17. yep the clutch plates need to be compressed for the kick start to work. It goes via the gearbox to the engine crank. when the engine starts the same is reversed but the kick is detached from the gearbox due to the ratchet mechanism. measure you inner and outer cable and ask the members here to see if they are the same length!!
  18. you can run tubeless tyres but with tubes. but check with manufacturer/retailer before purchase for different makes ( i run BT45's)
  19. where do you stick it!! (not where'd you like to )
  20. looks like a cylops its good fun messing with bikes what ever shape or form. did you see OCC do their mopeds up? some good paint jobs there from nubs!
