    Well after losing my bikes to scrotes and currently getting no joy from the insurance (long long story) I’ve bought a cheap project to get me going again!

    This is a 1992 Yamaha XT400 Artesia. It’s been in pieces for 10 years!

    It needs a full rewire front to back as well as some other cosmetic things, but I’m going to need a lot of help methinks with getting it going lol

    Dayo, those things look good 'bobbed'. As a trail bike it'll go again to thieves. Look at http://www.rycamotors.com/
    Make it 'pure'!

    Not yet lol. I’ve started putting a proper connector block on the ignition loom!

    It was put on the back burner a bit as I got my stolen bike back and have been focusing on that.

    I’m hoping it will still be simple though, but I think maybe not!!
