I'd say the carbs need taking off then, and a good clean. The choke circuits are probably blocked. If you can find somewhere that does ultrasonic cleaning I'd recommend that
-
Is the choke lever on the bars? Is it actually doing anything at the carbs?
-
Have you done any other work to the bike? How fresh is the plug? Is the air filter clean? Is the fuel fresh? Was the power valve working before?

I've never tried any of the Pilot Roads before, but have only heard good things. Dunlop Roadsmart 3's are good, I've used them for everything on 2 bikes, (winter commuting to trackdays) and they last really well. I'm on Metzler m7rr's on the triple now but they're a bit more sporty. At least the sizes you've got are the most common so plenty of choice.

I think hotels are opening from the 8th of July? That may just be speculation though

Let's do it. I want to visit bamburgh castle. If we get told off we can just run for the border
-
By that logic a donkey would be better

Stick some V power in it and give it a damn good thrashing, Basil Fawlty style. It might just need a good clear out
-
Try this

Probably. Google is your friend

Anything can be made to fit if you've got the skills yourself or deep pockets. As for an off-the-shelf aftermarket item I doubt it - the only time you'd see something like that is if an engine was commonly used in racing or the original unit was known to fail often.

It means you're due a service

Yep mega cheap on Amazon I got one a while back to check for sticking brakes on my car. Useful for all sorts!
-
I've been doing volunteer delivery runs and commuting the last few weeks. Soooo nice to get out!

I had a helmet cam that doubled up as a dash cam when you applied charging voltage, but you had to activate that function in the settings. Maybe yours is set to manual start only? Have you tested that there is 12v actually going to the camera?

Welcome to the site. Plenty of RD fans on here so get posting in the workshop -
Maybe you could fit a diesel night heater like they have in motorhomes?
-
Nice John I like those RD400's
-
Sounds sweet that
-
What ratio do you mix it to? I'd guess that may actually be the issue. Yamaha spent god knows how much money developing an auto pump system to deliver the right amount of oil at all rpm's so why not use it? As for the rattling noise, the only way to find out is to strip and inspect the top end for a start.

No idea on what other calipers may fit. It would be with cross referencing parts numbers on Fowlersparts.co.uk Is the bleed nipple still in the caliper at the minute?
-
Sounds like the starter relay to me. You can try bridging the contacts with a screwdriver and see if it turns over and starts. Welcome to the forum!

I dropped a tooth off the front sprocket on my DT. Pulls much nicer now, especially on those pesky hills. I think cynic is trying to say that someone may have already changed the gearing from stock. For the cost of a front sprocket, it's definitely worth a try. 1 tooth on the front is probably equivalent to 4 or 5 on the rear. You can use https://www.gearingcommander.com/ to calculate your ratios if you like.
