   too expensive to get the coils fixed,just have to keep kicking like a lady. :lol:

Hi
I think I might be on a winner with the KH400, as I got my exciter coils back yesterday and have put them on and fingers crossed she is starting first kick when it is hot and about 3 when cold  :shock: as before it was anything from 5 - 10 or more, but as they say I wont count my chickens ;-) till next year when it will be the proof in the pudding  :lol:  as that is when it will come out of hibernation and be used so as I say we will see,

Thank you all for the input just hope that do the trick  :twisted:

All have a Merry Christmas and hope we all have a better New year  :lol:

Cheers, Mo


 my kh400 is a pig too start when warm,sometimes it's only a bump start which will start it, but when it's cold it will start 1st or 2nd kick, i just wonder if my exicter coils are showing there age


Evening Ali,

Simon H reckons that if your bike won't start, it's because you kick it like a girl. :D  :D   Also, when you get to your age, your exciter coils will have given up ages ago! :-D  :-D

John.


   evening john,
 get yourself to bed, its late, you need all the beauty sleep, you can get :-D

Good idea Ali, you've got the looks. :D  :D

Paintwork looks an excellent job, nice colour scheme.  Did you get it done locally, and did you prep yourself?

Cheers,  John. :D  :D

He's certainly made a good job.  My tank has been resprayed, but not all that well, I think a couple of coats of lacquer is needed to finish it off.  Have you got his address and phone no please Ali?

Cheers,  John.

Electrex World Limited

Tel:01491 682369
