Well done Julie. Great work. This thread has and will be a great resource for us 400/4 'novices'.
Having met the pair of you I had no doubt it would get done right and pretty but you have done it quick as well. Well done and enjoy it. Yes with all the bits to hand i can do a 500 in 1/2 a day or less, but not with all the polishing and painting---do a 500/550 next they are very very similar and not much heavier
Julie, I always knew nurses were under valued and under paid, now I'm in no doubt!What an absolulutely brilliant job you have done and with such detailed posts accompanying, making such a complex job so clear for others and giving us the confidence to take on our challenges.
Well done you. Give yourself a big pat on the back. Both for the job and the thread.
I’ll add to the stats. Normally don’t comment on 400s, but this is an exception as this has been such a detailed and also brilliantly photographed rebuild. Great work. It will be really a new experience riding now as you have had your hands over all its internals! Soo much better than the poorly described and grainy b&w pics in many manuals. Really interesting to see how radically different the 350/400 is from 500 range.Now do you still have that 550?
Now I have had my hands over the internals it has given me a huge insight as to how these engines function and a much greater understanding of how each component works.
