Hi all. Just got my first berg. its a 2000 fe400e. Best part is it was free..... I expected it to be a piece of crap, but the guy was clueless what he had. It was titled in south dakota, i live in ny and am hoping to make it street legal. It doesnt run at the time, been sitting since 07. Saw intake manifold is cracked, ordered one for a post i saw on the forum. First non jap bike, very intrested in what people have to say about them. From what im looking at the bike seems 5 to 7 years ahead of its time. It was bought at dakota plains polaris, accoring to the sticker. Anyway, i have a few questions.
- pulled the seat, air filter is clean but falling apart. I ordered one and saw in a manual (1999) that there may be 2. I only see one
- Is there pre existing wiring for t sigs or will i need to do all that myself?
- The fork seals weep. I found a manual for the engine but none for suspension. Its a wp shock not sure about the forks. Specs for air gap and oil type/quantity?
- Anything to look for when i remove and go through the dellorto carb? Whats the black knob that you can pull out, turn 1/4 turn and it sticks out. Has a slot under it. Choke? Hot start?
- Where can i get valve clearence specs. Im reading different numbers all over the place
- Last, one or 2 oil filters? I see one and a screen. Some listings offer 2 filters. One short one long.
Heres a pic after serious scrubbing and wd40
