choosing a wife
A Man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing Among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present Of £5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money. The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty Salon, gets her hair done, new makeup; buys several new Outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells Him that she has done this to be more attractive for him Because she loves him so much. The man was impressed. The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him A new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, And some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she Tells him that she has spent all the money on him because She loves him so much. Again, the man is impressed. The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns Several times the £5,000. She gives him back his £5,000 and Reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him That she wants to save for their future because she loves Him so much. Obviously, the man was impressed. The man thought for a long time about what each woman had Done with the money he'd given Her. Then he married the one with the biggest Tits. Men are like that, you know.

Which Classic ??
I wouldn't recommend xs250, 400's are way better. I do like the xs750's though especially in grey!! I know what you mean about the 125, i have a cg125 for the missus and its great fun pootling along watching the scenery. bennelli 254's are nice. and the wetdreams are cheap and plentyful. z400's are naff ( i had one) but the z750 twins look and sound brill!! BTW to the forum

Yamaha XT125X Steering
try wemoto for tapered or get the numbers from there and try pyramid parts as they are always the cheapest (they deal on ebay as well)

a few problems with my '81 XS400 SH
I wouldn't put racing oil in, just go with mineral if you've no choice. I use Millars 20 50 semi sythn for classic engines (£38 gulp!!) I doubt you got a plastic bristle though the pilot sytem within the carb! its a labrynth of turns etc. that's why i recommend ultrasonic. If you look back on some old threads, you will note posters swearing blind that they have cleaned out the carb X many times and still come to the same conclusion that there was still crud in there. I would have thought changing the bulbs would be the easiest option first (why strip down wiring?) some past user prob cou;dn't be arsed to change the bulb and left them blown. if thats not the case, its usually corroded connections/switches) drewps

a few problems with my '81 XS400 SH
I would say the rings are gummed up and the bike needs using. best to service the bike which would only take couple of hours (especially the valve gaps) clutch slipping and the throttle cable needs renewing or adjusting near the grip ebay is good , speed sport will have them but it'll cost ya pilot jets are still blocked either get the professionally cleaned or use ultrasonic bath. connection is under the left rear cover its a off white nylon triangle just infront of the chain and behind the oil switch. put new bulbs in!! drewps

possible solenoid problem
I would say its the solinoid, just make sure you are getting power from the starter button as they have a habit of coming off and all the connections are good (the smaller wire ones as you have checked the thick ones) drewps
