Hi everyone Very Happy not been on for a while, busy with work blah blah blah, hope everyone is ok. I'll try and catch up on a few threads.............

I took my 400 to be Dyno'd last week which proved there was a serious lack of power. The guys at Ekquires here in Bury St Edmunds are just brilliant. on their advise ('cause I couldn't justify the possible £250+ for them to do it) I stripped off the cam cover to adjust the tappets to the wider of the margin instead of the small setting I'd serviced it to in Feb thuss seating the valves better plus changing the pilot screw from 2 turns to 1 1/2. This has made soooooo much difference, from a bit flat through the mid range to two stoke like blast off power Shocked . this also enabled me to lower the needles back to the standard mid setting.

Whilst doing this I also took the time respray the cam cover and engine casings.





Just the frame and a few little bits to polish over the winter will finish it all off
