Keiths 400/4
Coppertop1234:
Ruby Red Tank painted up so we are getting there
Coppertop1234:
Nearly there will be fully sorted this week
Few gremlins to sort odd earth wire rubber on centre stand front brake to bleed.
Insured and test drove today,runs nice
Last 400/4 i was 20 and weighed in at 11.2
Present 400/4 I am 69 and weighing in at 17.5 and that's with added hair loss
Surprising what nearly 50 years does ,but still fun and what a nippy bike.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Nice looking 400 you have there.

Cheers its as close as I could make it to what mine was new in 78.
Not perfect but nice enough for me.

Slight problem, just sorted front brake all fine now starts on the button runs smooth.
turn indicators on you here engine blip just for a moment.
turn side lights same thing
turn headlight and bike cuts out
increase revs and no cut out but on tick over its not happy.
just test rode it and when indicators are on engine stalls at each flash then picks in again
so engine is on off on off with indicators
first thought is battery power - test ride sorted that not battery
its new and always on trickle.
not a loose wire or it all wouldn't work
bike is charging ok you can see headlight get brighter with revs.
possible poor connection on rectifier/regulator? cleaned and seems fine
has anyone had similar before i start going too deep?
i would think it a wiring issue thats earthing the ignition when indicators or lights are selected
