Greetings Burt and which version do you have then?

could it be fuel starvation...indeed could that have caused the original piston damage? check the fuel supply flow to the carb and if good then perhaps a carb strip inspection and clean

Found it by google Richard, cant access the yamahaenduro.com website to investigate further though can you see it here? http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=3&oq=&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL_enGB401GB402&q=%22173-+81153-10-00+is+supposed+to+be+for+the+at1%2fat2%2c+cs5+and+the+cs3%22&gs_upl=0l0l1l16250lllllllllll0&aqi=s656

Greetings Gerbz a blocked pilot jet in the carburettor? does it start better with choke and then die without it? post it in another forum, this one is for intros

seems you have a lot of luck keiran and all of it bad! did you check the resistances of the ignition coil, are they right?

has it got a sidestand switch kelum?

did you check your power valve is set up properly to fully open?

thats all you have to do ben

Greetings Dave and

hissing is normal paul, try another spark plug

I found it nigh impossible to torque every nut on mine due to various gubbins in the way, so i torqued the ones i could and did the others by hand

1993 XJ400L me thinks

is it possible to change this speedo then? or is the bike an import and no such change feature exists?

is there slots in the maneto flywheel...any chance you could spray through the slots? spray WD40 at the seal when the engine is running...listen for a change in engine speed / tone to test the seal

isnt the SRX a single cylinder bike? that looks a bit like a diversion or summat!

you will need to open a photobucket account for yourself, upload your pics to your photobucket account, then you will be able to post them here...it is well worth your while learning how to do this because questions can sometimes be so much clearer when backed up by a photo see the FAQ's sub forum in 'New Members' for more explanation

which side smokes more...the right (clutch) side ?
