Hi folks,
just got a XR400 to share with my teenage son. Need some advise.
1. The oils a bit dirty so the first job is to do an oil change.
a) Sounds basic but how much oil does the bike take (including filter change)?
b) Is there two drain plugs? 1 for the crankcase and 1 for the oil tank (frame). Any more?
2. Starting the bike when cold is a bit difficult. I understand that this might be due to the valve clearnaces needing done. What are the valve clearance figures (1999 model).
3. I note that you can get workshop manuals (on CD) from ebay. Are they any good?
Been out playing in the local quarry today. Bike feels great.
thanks in anticipation
