...NOOO!!!...you just gotta treat'm with tender love and care, that's all!!

They're like women. You gotta treat em right but they still bitch every once in a while. The great thing about them is when they do break they're much easier and less expensive to fix.

..got that right!!!

true very true, but then again 4 strokes arent that hard to fix either really. but i do agree 2 strokes are easier to tune and fix....and go a hell of alot faster....just look at what zombies doing with his zx monster.

Yo WK>>> Chop that 400 into a Cafe racer. I did one about 12 years ago. It's not a fast bike by any means but it makes a hell of a back road racer. Lowered forks, and rear spring make a hell of a difference in cornering, and all that tin on it will bring a fe wPounds at the scrapper.

oooooo i do like the sound of that...when i saw the pic my balls tingled 

will have to give it some thought, but it definatly sounds like a good idea, plus with shortening it she will looose afew pounds.

WK i could not get a 2000rpm torque to work in mine on ANY roller weight i tried, even went up to 8g!! So tjat may be your main problem there. Also think of shaving down the boss by 1mm-1.2mm to let the inner variator get closer into the outer. I used to get similair issues at 45mph on mine till i lathed my boss down to 36.8mm from the stock 38mm.

Keep the Kimmi, chop the bike. If you dont chop it the you need go buy some cowboy boots for riding it 

Even better swap out the bikes engine and drivetrain into the kimmi, now that would scare folk around Norfork

right im picking up Suzie tommorrow hopefully, but there are some hurdles i have to clear first.
she hasnt been ridden in 3 years so she will need a full service....i was thinking that would be the oil, trans oil, sparks, drain petrol (if any) new battery, check chain tension, valves in theory should be ok. tell me if ive missed anything off.
i hope to get her moving so i can get her to the MOT station so i can tax her and get her used to being used again, she needs alot of TLC.

Rear sprocket may need attention? May be ok if it was ok before it was laid up tho.

Cowboy boots - Check.
Stetson - Check.

yea whole bike was in top notch condition before being laid up. so i guess thats all that will need doing. oh and its not a 400 like i thought, my younger sister got mixed up its a 125 v-twin with 400 miles on the clock, my step dad only used it to pass his test. that will be good if i could get it moving, i will be buzzin.
cowboy boots and stetsons are on order as well as a stick-on handle bar tash and aviator sunglasses....yeeeeehaaaaaw

If it's just a 125cc you absolutely have to have a Buffalo skull for the cowl. Vivo can send you one.
