I've just got one in the post but it doesn't look very long to me...

It's 115cm is that right? It does LOOK right, the bike is in the warehouse at the moment otherwise I'd just offer it up. D:

Not quite finished because I need to get the old bar mounts off but lack a good enough spanner to do it without lunching the nut and I need to get shorter cabling and lines. The black mounts either side of the headlight are for a screen which I took off for this but it will probably go back on.

Oh and I have some small round bar end mirrors to fit but ran out of time before it started raining







Thoughts? I've never ridden a sport bike before but I am now getting the achy wrists, will I get used to that?

I just picked up one of these

In Tesco for £69! Get in there if you want one they were by the front door on a special table for bargains

Morning gents, I've got some of this and just need to know how much to put into a full tank of fuel to stop carb icing and such? Oh and this is the right stuff yeah?

Cheers

Evening all, I'm going to be replacing the clutch on my 400 using this kit

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-FZ-400-4YR1-96-EBC-CK2371-Clutch-Kit-/150696962004?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item23163d27d4

It doesn't have any steel plates inside the box, just the friction plates. Is it fine to just reuse the old steel plates and anti judder spring?

Is the gasket reusable? Or do I need to go and get one?

Also any tips for doing this little job? I've seen this video and it seems fairly strait forward...

Many thanks!!

I put this is the 400 section but this section might be right for what I need


My 400 takes a couple of seconds to start usually and when the weather is cold say below 5-6c it will take longer, colder and I may have to bump it. Once the engine is warmed up and ridden for 5 minutes or so it likes to drop a cylinder and then easily cuts out if I try letting it idle. If I stop and switch the engine off for a couple of minutes then restart it, it will fire up easily and given a bit of a rev it seems to clear it out? It then runs on 4 cylinders and generally doesn't give me any hassle or odd behavior for the rest of the ride.

Does anyone have any idea what could cause this?

I have changed the spark plugs and it seemed better at the time but the problem is my test day with the bike was a bit warmer so I don't think it would have happened anyway.

Cylinder 3 lead looks like it has a split as it joins the top of the caps, could that have anything to do with it? I've been using plenty of WD40 all over the shop to avoid moisture getting to it.

It will do it on a cold morning but hasn't yet done it on the way home from work, I assume due it the weather being a touch warmer by then.

Can anyone help?

How does the lead join into the cap? As the split I mention might just be the lead coming out? Can I just shove it in or?

Hi all I've had my black '97 FZ400 for about four months now and is my first big bike.
