Well, 3 months after buying my B4....
« on: June 09, 2006, 12:54:12 AM »
I Finally got her on the road.  I've still got a few minor issues to resolve, like the license plate light, the blinkers are VERY slow to do anything, no bar ends and thus Tons of vibration, need some mirrors....  and I need to go down a main jet size or two (bogs a tad at about 8k under full throttle, and refuses to rev as smoothly as in lower roms/throttle positions).  But it was nice to get it out for a 30 mile shakedown run.  

LOTS more low end torque than I thought there'd be for a 400, though it's tiny for a guy my size (6'4")...  my back hurt from the short reach to the bars.  Gotta find something that works for both my 5'4" wife and myself.

Anyway, thanks for the forum and loads of knowledge in all the previous threads.  I answers more than a few questions with the search function.
Cheers,

Congrats. I'm glad another 400 has got a new lease on life.

It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.
