Thanks Chris, JAR.
I will miss coming up with new xs400 stories for the "Tell-on-yourself" thread but I won't stop reading this Forum. When shopping for my new bike I sampled other forums each time I thought of something I might like to look for. There are none this good.
So I will keep reading your stories. I hope the new owner of mine has as good luck with the carbs as I did. If having to service them is inevitable eventually, then he is 2 years closer to it because I was spared - (sorry KJ).
I can't believe I could ever have taught anybody anything - at best, I may have been a good purveyor of 2nd hand information from members on here.
I know I sure got lots of great first hand information to help me out. Come to think of it though, I was able to pull off a couple of MacGyver moments along the way.
Lana, I'll PM you about the Spitfire
