    Cheap trills bober project

    hows it goin? I love the hardtail style and wish I could do the same to my 82 400j but the roads here will kill me. not an exaggeration, the roads here are lethal. about your stuck screws: impact! hammer the heads of the screws to push some of the metal back into the stripped out area. then use...

    looking for opinions on an 82 XS400sj tracker build

    Lean is bad. Clean your carbs properly and sync. Purchase a fuel filter and fuel shutoff valve. Assuming the compression is good in both cylinders and both have properly timed spark, It should run well enough to begin regular maintenance like oil and filter, plugs, air filter. Its pointless to...

I...

    thanks again guys. with your help I was able to install the new signals and the new two prong flasher took care of the blinking. one wire to chocolate brown, one to dark green, the other two grounded and I have signals;) I had to remove the right side top engine mount to access the flasher...

    I will run new grounds. I think chocolate is lighter than brown. I should be able to get them working now. ill know when I get my new signals. I read that the signals wont flash if they are not ALL hooked up. I may not need a flasher relay after all and the battery was weak at the time. the...
