Yo-Yo's Yamaha Sr400 - Misadventures Of A Bike Noob

[zebra]

21hp eh

Was expecting a little more tbh

Still a rad bike though

[Yo-Yo]

yeah hehe oh well, I was never expecting it to be a quick bike I knew what I was getting into with this thing. Guess I know now why owners lighten the bike as much as possible.

Still a tonne of fun on the road

I miss it already, can't wait to get back home!

[Yo-Yo]

My lids. Haven't been pulled up on the tinted visor yet, I'll put the clear one back on eventually but it just looks so cool like a space helmet with the iridium visor hahaha

[Yo-Yo]

I woke up at the crack of dawn on saturday so good excuse for a ride around the mountains. was freezing my nuts off though

Hawkesbury lookout

3 sisters

[Yo-Yo]

Trial fitting my tail lights & license plate lights.

Putting my year 10 electronics class knowledge to good use

Success!

How it should look installed. I'm still gonna get the fenders painted matte black but at least it's all ready to bolt in once that's done.

[Yo-Yo]

okay so new fuel tank & side covers ordered for my custom paint scheme, just waiting for them to arrive & I'll get everything powder-coated at once.

Also bought a yamaha windscreen to try it out. If I don't like it I can always put it up on ebay

Looks fun.

My 2 cents would be drop bars and to lose the chain guard, as long as you don't go silly with the chain lube you wont have to much mess and will look sweet.

both are in the works once I'm on my P's

they check your bike for the MOST test and I don't know how anal the instructor will be on the day

Oooooh I'm loving this!!!

My mate has a 79 (? I think) Yamaha SR500! At first glance at the topic title and I was expecting a similar vintage.

I miss the hell out of my bike. I'll live vicariously through this thread.

mate I've already got enough headaches with my '76 Zed, at least this has the appearance of an old bike with none of the mechanical gremlins

sooooo...

A few more things came in the mail today

Headlight Grill

Sticker for the lulz (I'll never be an astronaut unfortunately so this is the next best thing hahaha)

[tweety bird]

nice!

posting to follow.

[Yo-Yo]

Cheers!^

Just a quick update, fitted the front & rear fenders to check for fitment & making sure nothing rattles. Other than that I added a little leather toolbag so I can hold my disc lock & helmet lock without needing a bag or big pockets with me.

Still waiting on my windscreen, spare fuel tank & side covers than I can get all my parts painted. Can't wait!

I'll be on my L's for 3 months this coming febuary so I'll book my MOST test for then, I want to get off my L's asap!

Has it got carb or fuel inj, and when are cams coming????

You should be able to get the thing mambo'ing nicely with 400cc.

My KLX250 went well after I got a exhaust, 300cc barrel and piston and de-restricted the carby.

[colourclassic]

Just get a Hayabusa.

[zebra]

YZ450-f Transplant?

....

No, wait!

CR500 Transplant!!@!!!

FI, it's a fun little thing to putt around on around town. I'm not aware of any aftermarket cams for the 2014 model, I will look into this

Just get a Hayabusa.

I'll probably end up on the wrong side of a concrete barrier hahaha

YZ450-f Transplant?

....

No, wait!

CR500 Transplant!!@!!!

I've heard of owners with old school Sr400's converting to 600cc by changing the piston & boring out the cylinder? More research required.

Either that or look into a Kawasaki W800 when I'm on my fulls

Also...

Bought one of these on ebay today $250 delivered with aussie warranty. Just for blackbox recording in case shit goes down. No external mic input so no vlogging for moi

[The Bogan]

Anyone can go to a shop and buy a Hayabusa when they are on their blacks, I believe its more of a cool little custom bike whilst on their L's rather than some stock unexciting POS or a bike that can do 300kph to the shops.

But then turn the Hayabusa into a old school street fighter and you may get my attention.

Not that I could ride it with my dodgy back.

[XKLABA]

Lol, CR500 transplant, doooooo iiiiit

I got to ride the last of the CR500s, faaaarkin insane peice of gear

[Yo-Yo]
