RD400 under construction

[teazer]

GT750 are fun bikes.  They are just a little bit heavy and underpowered stock but that can be changed without spending a fortune.

Thanks chuck

Allright, Another small but good update

1 issue solved, i took the clucht out and the kickstart mechanism, Saw the First shim that goes on the shaft was to big ( having issues with it not popping back up when i kick it)
I found the correct shim, put it All together and it works as intended. 

Another one that had been irretating me, was the fact that my clip ons hit the gas tank on Both sides when turned, but a good idea from this forum, and now i Drilled a 4mm hole in each steering stop on the lower tree, put a 4mm bolt in with a narrow head? And it works perfect, without destroying the tuning radius. Looks fine to me.
So Thank you for the good simple idea 👌

Next i Will properly address the tdc
Any tips/ etc on how to do this would be appreciated. I do have a measuring clock? That goes in spark plug hole
Plus i am Also using Electronic ignition, but having never done Any of this before, Please do Come with advice

Hi guys!
Long due, but iam pleased to say that the project is Very much alive!!

Not much have been done, until the last 3 weeks.
I FINALLY found a guy willing and skilled enough to take on my seat/rear cowling and Electronic box.

I had a specific idea to how i wanted it to flow with the cofffin tank, and by the pictures, it looks like he is doing a great job. I Will have the bike back next Friday the latest. Cant wait

Since last

- Had the engine cover on the ignition side, welded some cracks and powdercoated to match
- My bike is currently at the metal fab. Guy, Hes had it about 2 weeks.
-mounted the clutch actuator in the engine cover ( bought for a yamaha xs400) but I think it Will work.


When the bike returns, i need to address
- complete wiring of the bike ( advice /tips are welcome)
Iam connections with a moto gadget M unit, so Its a completely new harness
- The ignition timing needs to be set. This i never tried and Will rely om chucks guidance


Stay tuned people💪
