Hey everyone!
so new guy to bikes in general here, and i need your infinite wisdom! So i bought an 80, xs400 of a buddy of mine the other day. its a bit of a bagger but he did a little work before i got it and it seemed like a good deal. ( can you hear me questioning myself here? ). The carbs were done last month at a reputable motorcycle shop in Regina and it hadn't been ridden up until yesterday beause it was waiting on a new clutch; so now i own it, and it seems to me like the carb is clapped out (no power, hard to start, small sputter.) and the clutch doesnt seem to be engaging right at all. it only engages in the last 1/8th of the clutch handle/lever? ive tried adjusting it both on the side of the crankcase and on the top end of the cable to no real progress. So before i take it to a shop and leave it for a week and empty my bank account does anyone have any advise that can point me in the right direction?!
sorry for the long post, im just getting frustrated at this point because i really want to get out there and rip up Regina!
Thanks a lot, Alistair Whittington
