Went out on the 400 today.called round at sleeping beauties house but cleaner said he's in bed...at 11.30...not bad is it :-D bike pulls very well,very torquey smooth and quiet...but it's a bit...how can i put it..bland :smt102 can't wait to get the denco's on it,that should give it the peaky power delivery which i love..like Simonh said it's possibly quicker than the s2 but doesn't feel like it because the power delivery is so linear :D

Very nice looking "400" Heck it looks brand new. Glad you got it running and it is good to see you riding it. Is it a 1974??? I notice you have the Mach II decal below the 400 emblem.
I've got the Denco's on mine and the power delivery is NOT linear. I have just started to ride and tune my Purple Haze modified 400 and its' ho hum to about 5200 then the rear wheel starts spinning in first gear if I open it wide. I am an average rider, not one to intentionally do wheelies, so I am taking it very careful until I am comfortable with power rushes like this bike delivers from 5200-8500 rpm.
Lets be careful out there :D :D :D

WOW, love the Denco's in black. Let us know how she performs as you begin to tune for the pipes as well. Georgeous bike. Are you sure that is not a 2009 model. :D :D Thanks for sharing and congratulations. LOL, I have the block of wood for my sidestand too. :D :D

Thanks, let me know how it performs with the denco's and the tuning setup you have now. I have a set of 25.0 pilots to pick up and install, and then I may need to go to 100 or ? on the main jets. I am now at 95's So you are on the top jet needle notch.... I am at the second notch, and the chart that J-moo provided suggests third notch for stock. As soon as I get my 25 pilots installed I will begin establishing some base lines doing plug chops and jet up or down and needle up or down from there to get best power and combustion efficiency.
Well after 10 years of quiet solitude, ENJOY THE NEW SOUNDS OF DENCO'S :D :D
Again congratulations on an absolutely beautiful "400"....

shouldnt need the block of wood on a 250 /400, perhaps wrong stand ?, they should stand upright enough...
can put kh stand on early 500 to make it more upright,... 8)
turned out really nice that 400 Adrian,..

I've sorted that since then Bri..I took the stand off,refitted the fixing bolt and fitted a socket over that and clamped it up in the vice to make it a nice tight fit on the frame bracket.it's now spot on :D
