hi mate small world we live in I'm from Swindon

hope to be popping down soon once i got my bike on the road

maybe when i do finally do the trip of 4 hours in the saddle we could meet up and whizz round the magic roundabout !!

Hi mate,

It is a small world indeed, sounds like a good plan. I look forward to it. Hope to catch you soon.

Welcome RD

Get some pics up yeah

you too Skullie

Hi RD,

Pics are almost compulsary - we need something to slate

Sounds like you might be keeping the bike for a while yet

ATB,

MM!

Hi and welcome,

Nice to see someone doing their own spannering. Loads of help and advice on here if you hit a snag. I would recommend balancing the carbs too, this bike does seem to have carbs which go out of balance and getting them spot on really makes a big difference. Easy job to do and the outlay on gauges is well repaid.

Are you doing the valve clearances yourself? Something I've not felt confident enough to tackle and one of the few jobs I'd entrust to a mechanic to do it for me.

Which reminds me, new thread coming on......

Tirpitz

hey cansa

i've already added a pic of my bike look for the zx400g thread in green thats my bike
not much done to it at the moment
but do have some ideas on where to go from here money permitting

Thanks for all your replies.

I have attached some pics. Hope you all like them. As for the valve clearances, I am a mechanic and was thinking about doing them myself, looked at the last time they were done and not due yet anyway. I would entrust it to a bike mechanic though as it will take them half the time to do them than it will me, and they will have all the tools and shims accessible. Will definitely look into doing the carbs though as will have tank off anyway to do plugs and air filter. Do you know where I can get a K&N panel filter for it and if they are worth having? Also any recommendations for rear cans?

Catch you all soon, enjoy the pics.

Regards

Redwarf

Hello! I'm near swindon, actually newbury but not far from you guys! Always in swindon up at george whites, its a nice ride out for me the back way, not so fun up the m4...!

Hello and welcome

Welcome. It might be worth keeping an eye out for some UK headlights too - mine was an Italian import and came with the single square headlight. Took about 3 MOT's to realise the lights dipped incorrectly...

small world im from swindon too, i got a black h1 with only 14,000miles with a blue race can, really annoys the neighbours lol. shes parked up at the moment due to the weather and sorting a few things. hoping to get her out again soon when it warms up lol
