I sold a cam and sprocket recently, they're all over eBay?

Is that sarcasm? I couldn't tell...

I think it must've been sat outside for years In the rainy UK so the piston is covered in rust. I've tried heating the caliper with a blow torch and it still won't budge. It's all been dismantled by the previous owner so and are missing a few pieces so I'm not sure if they can be built at this...

wow, didn't realise postage would be that much :(

Have you got any idea what shipping might be? Might be cheaper to source them from Europe?

Right, so I'm now a step closer to completing my project. I got 100 1/4' loose bearings for £3, so more than enough. They fit in really well too.

What would you want for it posted to the UK?

Hello, I'm having difficulty removing the seized pistons from the calipers so was thinking it might just be easier to get some whole calipers. My bike is a XS250 IU5 but I think xs400 calipers are the same? I'm in the UK so if someone could let me know what they have, that would be fantastic...

I got a 250 :(

Cheers, I was just trying to list some stuff on eBay and didn't want to mislead anyone :)

Hi, I have a spare XS250 engine (IU5-109227) and I'm wondering what parts are interchangeable between the XS250 and the XS400? I think I read somewhere that the bottom end is completely the same but the barrel, head and carbs are different? Are there any other changes between these engines...

Rebuilt my forks, the caps where utter bastards to get on and nearly took my eye out!

Hi, I'm trying to source some loose head bearings but can't find what size they are. I don't suppose you would be able to measure them for me would you? Thanks, Ollie.

I'll put it on my to do list :)

Yep, those are the ones I'm after!
