Hello,
i'm new to this forum and don't know much about working on bikes but love learning by trial and error. bought my xs 400 last summer and would like to fix some minor problems and customize it a bit.
question 1: has anyone here ever wrapped their pipes with the fiberglass wrap? i plan on doing this to my bike in the next month, and i think a tan/cream color would blend nicely with the red tank on my bike. any suggestions appreciated.
question 2: i just changed my spark plugs again, and i've noticed that my right plug keeps fouling up. the right pipe is also not not getting hot like it should, and is cool to the touch after i'm done riding. this is a new development and am trying to figure out what's wrong. obviously it's running a little rough. i imagine the carbs need adjusting, but i'm wondering if something might be clogging the right pipe too. or maybe this is happening because it's running too rich.
like i said, i'm learning as i'm going. thanks for any help.
