My 400/4 is a 1976 reg so will be trying for the historic tax this year.
Fingers crossed.
the actual wording is "year of manufacture"
mine was registered in 1974,made in 1973,yours may be 1975 bike,only an age letter will confirm it
As Trigger says unless the transported it in a tardis.

The oil thread gravitational pull is starting.....
There is a standard for oil for wet clutches so clutch slip is easily avoided http://www.oilspecifications.org/articles/JASO_MA_JASO_MB.php
Gearboxes should also have EP additives to reduce wear, but you rarely see that bit debated, it's always about the clutch because that's where you can feel the difference.
Personally for road bikes I just buy any known brand bike specific oil, yes the prices are a rip off, but it saves having to understand all the oil threads. (for trials where the clutch feel is more important I use Motul 300v)
That is the reason to go for the Diesel one as it has additive’s for the turbo. There has been many, many discussions on here about it and the people who are in the know recommend Diesel not petrol oil.

Paul check your cable routing if everything is new and it's still heavy, surprising just how much the routing affects the clutch feel.
Front mudguard looks like a Yamaha one from the 80s to me.
Oddjob, Will do

Fitting the stays to the front one makes it look a bit better, and the brace looks correct, but the guard itself is wrong.
The back one is not nice at all - looks way too high.
Those bars would have to go too, but maybe that was the only way to get room for the clutch gismo.
Is it just me or does the frame look to have been painted with swingarm and engine bolts in place?
In the 7th pic the swingarm and engine mounting bolt look to have been painted black, as the frame.
Paul, maybe an obvious point but how is your cable?
My clutch was very heavy when I got the bike, a new cable worked wonders. I couldn't move the inner by hand when I tried the old one after removal.

All new Chris.

It is definitely the device that lightens the clutch action. I could do with one on mine, can't believe how heavy it is compared with the 550 and the Z650.

Yozzer, What time did you get there. I got there first thing about 9.45. I liked the older stuff up the top end near yours. Steve from rother classics does some nice stuff
