Hi there
My name is Yannick and i am new to motorcycles along with their repair
My 1980 xs400 is having trouble starting and if i can get it started (usually with a push start) the engine dies after i pull the clutch in or stop pulling on the throttle.
After consulting my owners manual i figure the bike is being starved of fuel because of a clogged fuel filter.
Could any one walk me through the replacement or cleaning of the fuel filter? i don't even know what to buy right now i'm looking at this site for parts http://www.mikesxs.net/products-112.html (if you scroll down to the bottom there are three different types of fuel filters. I'm not sure witch one to buy)
The manual is not vary clear about how to replace the fuel filter its about a three paragraph segment that basically just says. "replace and clean the fuel filter"
Hope you guys can help.
