I took my 400f for a long drive today, bike ran great.
When I got home I turned off bike for a minute and when I went
to restart it. Battery was nearly fully dead, had to start bike with kick started.
Battery is only a few months old gel type.
Any suggestions on why battery drained? where do I start checking?

Took my 400 out for a spin today.. For some reason it is bogging down when the revs hit 5000 , and will not rev above 5000..
Bike is been used regularly and ran fine a few days ago..Fuel is fresh.
Where should I start looking for the problem???

I spotted a 1975 500 K1 for sale
Bike is running but rough looking
Seems to be all there except for exhausts
Its fitted with some kind of home made looking
4 into 2 system. And the seat on it does not look original.
So the go question.. How hard to get parts and what to look out
For when viewing the bike?
Thanks

Hi,
My 400 F has a knocking sound from the clutch so
I have taking the clutch apart to try and find what is causing this.
All I can find is that there is slop between the gear on the back
of the clutch outer. I can rock the gear approx 2mm back and fort
without the front of the outer clutch moving
Is this normal? Do I need to replace?
Thanks

I am getting my wheels refurbished and have some questions.
I am thinking of having hubs & lower fork legs polished.
Were hubs originally painted? if painted best way of removing paint?
have heard of clear coat been used on polished parts
What type do I need, and what prep work is needed before painting?
Any help would be great
Thanks

I want to get my 400f gear linkage rechomed.
So it looks like the one in the photo.
I imagine I need to take it apart to get this done.
How do I take it apart??
