Is the cable too tight? Have you tried to adjust the idle down. I have a 2003 XR400. For most part the same engine. Is your mechanic any good? Sounds like 2 strikes to me. Sounds like it might be running lean. Air leak around the carb??

Funny. Username is the same on another forum. ATC related.

Wheel chocks were made by Maxxhaul 70075 I picked up 2 sets. $124.00 Canadian to my door. Bike is 2003 XR400R. Single cyl 400CC with 2 exhaust outlets. 2 into 1 exhaust.

Took it out of storage and it fired right up. 🙂 Got to love a well made machine.

I just voted now to make it 13? It was 12 before I voted.

I picked this up from Curt. All my trailers have a 2" ball. Needed something to move the trailers around if necessary at the cottage. It has a plate under it to make it solid and not swivel. Pouring rain here. I will install it in the next couple days and test the receivers I have here on it.

Thinking of these tires myself.

Welcome to the 'hood. Nice new ride!!!

My pooch "Bodie" 2 years old now. He is a ham/

Well. All went well this week. Fluids changed. Winch mounted up. I did not address the slow leak tire. Going to put new hoops on it later this summer. Burn the originals off it.

OK. Thanks. I will keep an eye on the indicator. I think it was blank but not 100%. It has not done it since I flushed out the tank and drained the carb. Might of been some water in the carb...

I ! you not. My buddy built this. 1/5th scale engine. I raced R/C with him.

Only happened a couple times but it would not start. Turns over fine. Like it is out of fuel. After a couple attempts it fires up. Both times engine was cold. Also a couple times shift indicator was not lite up. No lashing lights (codes). While cleaning it up and changing fluids. (Drained all old gas and drained carb) Noticed it has what looks like a aftermarket TPS. Flathead screws. I also had the shift motor out and cleaned all the old grease and put new grease in. Issue was doing it before I worked on it. Is it worth just putting in a TPS and shift angle sensor OEM for good measure?

Well the fluids were very clean which is nice to see. I ended up using 75-90 which we have in bulk at work.

It has good bones. 6000KM and 600 hrs. Cleaned the fuel system out. New plug and oil change. A good clean. Runs great. I will mess around with it this week as far as the winch. Change out diff fluids this week.

OK. Thanks. Ya overthinking it.

I know it needs hypoid oil. Mine is stock and going to change the fluids. Going to have it at work for the week.

Took the sled in to have it looked at after hitting the rock. Seems it was a bit more damage than I thought... Oh well. You have to pay to play.

Been busy with the house etc. Pic is not my house. It is where I got it from. The Foreman needs a oil change. I have all the stuff. OEM. Going to give it a once over and 'hope' I have time this weekend to clean and replace the grease in the ES shifter. Hoping to put the winch on also and wire it up. I have the mount and winch. Cheap winch. 1 tire has a plug that leaks a bit.

Mental illness. The wires are not plugged in right. Don't beat yourself up on it. Sounds like she needs 'tough love' at this point...

I got out a couple times this year on weekend day trips. Slammed a rock at slow speed and bent up some stuff just before the 4 day tour. I did a 4 day tour with my brother and 2 others. We did 1000KM on those 4 days. First day was !. Rain and freezing rain. As we headed farther north the next 3 days were good overall. 1 morning it was -30C/-22F. Brother blew a belt. My 1 finger got cold and got a bit weird. Felt like the end was dipped in wax. Not much feeling in it. Then it started to peel. LOL. Not frost bite but close. Great times .

Vent away brother. Get it all out. No harm. No shame. I am sorry for your loss.

I am very sorry for your loss.

No. You can buy the NG or propane model as far as the BBQ. As I knew I was going to have NG out back I just bought the NG model. My firetable is propane. I have to buy the NG line still. It comes with a NG orifice to switch that over.
