    Just looking at anti-mist products for inside visors and they are damn expensive. Anyone have a cheaper solution (sic!) that I can use. I used to put neat washing up liquid in mine and polish up, but that doesn't work as well now for some reason. did a google search and a product called "Mr Min" was mentioned which is a silicon based furniture polish (not available in UK) so come on Yammy owners , spill the beans.........

    Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. "In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "you must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven." The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle, he said." You may pass through the pearly gates Saint Peter said. The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells." Saint Peter said you may pass through the pearly gates. The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?" The man replied, "These are Carol's."
  5. sounds like they are corroded on the block studs. put diesel down the tubes and leave for a few weeks. if that don't work you may have to scrap the barrels (ie hack it off) and get yourself a new set off ebay. (you can do that whilst you are waiting for the "penetration" to happen) I think that there is one on ebay now for breaking.

    you need a haynes manual (plenty on ebay) you just need to take the cam cover off (undoing the bolts in the right order or you will warp the cover) and release the tensioner but first compressing it and lock it using a 2/3mm screw. the blades will lift out (front and back) either side of the cam chain.

    Its automatic, but you need to check the blades on the chain as they wear.

    why not try a newtronic system, they replace the pickup and the TCi box. just need to make sure you have a good 12volts. they have been taken over but I can't remember the new name.

    bridgestone BT45's are the biz. I have 90/90 x 18 front and 100/90 x 18 rear on an xs400D.

    I'd get it dynoed first as it may be making 33bhp already (i know the factory states 39hp) get your print out and you have the proof.

    ok.... centre - stud hole to hole = 67mm engine side orafice =32mm carb side orafice = 42mm depth = 35mm
  21. on the engine, clutch side, wind in adjuster as per manual then set free play 1 - 2mm at clutch lever if no different:- clutch cable not lubed, incorrectly routed, or it could be frayed inside. for the price, buy a new one. lastly your clutch pushrod could also be bent preventing it returning against the clutch springs.

    you have 34mm carbs which should fit the 34mm 400cc intakes. I can measure both circumferences on my spare set if you like? for reassurance. drewpy
