Hi all, well I've finished my rd350 for now and it's on the road doing break in. Next up is a 73 ts400 pretty original and complete and I was wondering if anyone else on the forum has any experience with these. Bike has 5000 on the clock and from what I can surmise a leaky right side seal , I'll be doing a top end and a reseal for starters. Not looking to restore at this point but get it presentable and road worthy. Any insight from this awesome community would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I think "Busa 1300" was doing a TS 400?

i've done a ts250 and couldn't believe the weight difference in the engine to my usual gt250's. changing the main crank seals and bearings on the ts engines is an absolute piece of cake  :wave:
cheers, gil.

Well I've had pretty good luck fioparts so far , just received an nos wiseco piston so now I'm looking for recommendations on where to have my cylinder bored.

I'm sending my TS400 crank and TM400 cylinder to Bill Bune in Minnesota. He did my RZV500R cranks and cylinders, they looked and have been excellent so far.

Right side seal needs crank out.
