Hi, here are pics of the holes. I suppose that this is probable not very small by your definition. It seems that there is some kind of small black ring inside both of the holes. Do you think that the proper owner drilled the holes and inserted something to make for extra space? However I...

Hello XChris, pardon me for taking so long to reply, but I hadn't have time to do anything with the bike since taking the screws out. Today I finally prepared the bottle style manometer as described in other post. I will take the pictures of the holes and post them here (I pray to motogods they...

Good morning! Are those pointy enough please? The tricky part will be to get the right one back inside as there is not much space. Perhaps I will try with tweezers. By the way the balancing screw to synchronize the carburators is the one between those pilot screws, correct? Is there a way how...

Hello and thank you for the reply! So just to be sure - Could I unscrew the pilot mix screw without doing anything else? No liquid will come out? :umm: I will post the pics asap. Have a nice day Ed

Hello guys and thank you both for the answers! I haven't done anything with the bike so far except for the oil change and tire inflation. So you advise me to do the following: 1. Time the engine 2. Set valves 3. Sync Carbs with the manometer 4. Adjust the idle speed So adjusting the idle...

Hello and thank you for your response! I contacted the original owner and found out that the paint was scratched a way before and I just forgot about it. Mystery solved. Have a nice day. Ed

Hello everyone, I am slowly preparing my yamaha 2A2 to get it out, but I noticed that there seems to be a leak of the break fluid just under the Master cylinder reservoir. It is happening from both sides. I checked the manual but could not find anything. Please what do you advise? Thank you!

Hello Addison and thank you very much for the reply. Pardon me for responding so late, but I was traveling. Unfortunately I don't own a garage so until I find a better solution, the bike is for the winter in my living room :). Which means that I can't run it inside, so I am waiting for some...

Hello everyone, I recently got my hands on yamaha xs400 from 79 as my first ever motorcycle. It is in a good state so I am not planning any rebuild, I like it the way it is. I am a beginner so pardon me for asking those probably simple questions: 1) When I start the motorbike and let it warm...
