afrernoon all, I’m working with an xs250 not a 400 but understand they’re the same pretty much anyway so some help would be great!
I had to replace the rings and I’m at the point now of rebuilding but have run in to a few issues/ questions...
Firstly the bike is fitted with an electronic ignition. My question is, does this omit the need to follow the instructions ref the timing of the valves when rebuilding the camshaft/ valves?
It was rebuilt using the instructions for the manual prior to me getting it and once the camshaft cover was reinstalled and tightened the bike would not kick over at all but upon loseening the bolts allowing the camshaft to freely spin it would kick over fine.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks, Dan
