11-20-2016, 12:37 PMI was thinking about the essentials and you are talking about the extras hahah ;)
for sure I will put on heated grips and a power outlet. Good that the new version comes with boxes as standard so the rack is there already.
I will go through this thread later to find the bearings. Ill also buy a lot of LOCTITE hah prolly the blue one (243) which is the middle strength over the low strength (purple 222) which is recommended for jap bikes

For essentials I would start with replacement of all engine bearings and wheel bearings
During rebuilding my X2 engine I found lots of fake "japan" labeled bearings except the two main bearings for crankshaft. They came from C & U which is an acceptable Chinese supplier.
When you put fake and real Japanese bearings side by side the differences become significant. By touching and turning them you understand why the engine runs with real bearings much smoother.
Additionally once the engine is open you can check / replace the clutch which was never really smooth and measure all shifting parts such as shift forks.
I am actually wondering that my bike, described here at the beginning of this thread, never had serious gear problems. It felt and sounded like it will fall apart every minute. But its under the 3rd owner now and runs continuously since 2013.
A MUST change is the chain. I chose D.I.D. and never regret it. Put it on, re adjust once after 200km and never any further action than cleaning and lubrication.SWM RS500R, R1200GS LC

11-23-2016, 01:53 AMSo all the XR400 parts will fit?
I dont think I will be replacing engine bearings any time soon as I lack the skills but who knows whats going to happen. I just bought myself a rmb100, old farmers bike to learn about the engine ;)
btw... Yesterday I recieved my bike. It was the wrong color so Ive sent it back haha

12-09-2016, 07:07 AMIve recieved the bike. It feels pretty good. Its tall!!! Really tall.
I didnt have a chance to ride it much yet but will do after the weekend. Will write a quick review.
Also, I changed the oil and found that it takes way more than it should. The manual says 2.1L. French manual for Mash (same bike) says 2.2L. I filled mine to the very top according to my dip stick and it took 2.45L.......quite big difference.
Do you think I should trust the dip stick or the manual?Last edited by modron; 12-09-2016 at 01:18 PM.

Follow the die stick mark.
That works.

12-22-2016, 07:20 AMThere is a gearing problem on my bike me thinks or clutch. Firstly the gears are too tall for my liking. 2nd starts with about 25km/h and 5th with about 75km/h. I will be putting a bigger rear sprocket. Now its 40 teeth, Im thinking 42.
The other thing is a clonk and a jerk when shifting gears. Especially down shifting at speeds above 50km/h. Dunno whats that. Thought it was loose chain so I tightened it to even "too tight", its a bit better but the clonk and the jerk is still there. Need some more time to see.
few pics for you :)

Sounds like a Chinese made the bike for sure, good start for the full review.
Keep us updated and good luck with sorting out the issues.
I am sure you will find more.
