- These XR400R are great bikes so it was hard to just rip it down for parts (Although the parts are very profitable) Stay tuned for part 2!

xr400s have an auto decompression system. Thats why it feels like it has low comp.
Bet the big issue is going to be the wiring as much as the low compression on the engine.
so with the xr when you go to start it you have to put the engine at top dead center and find the hard spot at the top. you can kick all day with single kicks like that and get nowhere. They have to be a tdc. usually takes 2 or 3 slow kicks before it gets to the hard spot. These are not single kick bikes like a 2 stroke.
Great video! Can’t wait to see more on the bike.
Looking forward to the update
Drain old fuel from tank and carb new plug away u go TDC then nice big kick its a honda nuke proof
Very nice i got one for 2,300$ its a 2003 and has no issues whatsoever
They are a great machine, it sounds like you got a good deal on yours too!
@TheATVHustle I did it's an awesome machine. I can't find any in Minnesota, but I was up visiting arizona and saw it on fb marketplace. It's almost fully stock but it has a 5.8 gallon gas tank
@@Dirtbikekid2010 they can be tough to find down here in ok/tx as well. People don’t wanna let them go.
@TheATVHustle yea they are awesome bikes and well worth the money
That carb is going to be gunked up
IT sure was!
I’d say skip all the monkeying around, you already got the valve caps off just adjust em to what factory calls for and she’ll start right up. For gods sake it’s a honda
Yea the cylinder was toast. I have been doing this a while and should have went for the top end right away.
Killer deal. I got a 1997 for $850 that just needed a carb rebuild - runs great.
I got mine for 1000 with just carb issues, other than that it’s fine
@@Zimbabwefr got mine for 1500, it still has pristine oem decals, unscratched plastics and 7500 kms

If u lightly go over with blowtorch at a distance on those worn plastics they shud go back bright red .
These ones were to far gone to bring back that way, they pretty much have dry rot.
What kind of fuel tank is that?...Looks cool 😎
I believe it is an IMS Tank.
Wheres part 2 of this video ??
I ended up parting ways with this machine.
Ever learn how to find top dead center on the old bike yet? lmao watching you kick that bike.
I don't feel like 1999 is old yet 😂
Whats the word on this one?

You a booksmart guy can tell by the way you talk. Talking about how bad it is when you only paid 400us for it. If you never been on a xr you should do some research. These bikes come with a decompressor and their is a special way to kickstart them, it's not just pushing the kickstarter down. Xrs are hella of bikes I have owned and ridden all of them 250r, 400r, 600r and 650r. They are bulletproof, if you take somehow care of them they will last for ever. Where I live there is many of them all Japan made. All the way from 250r to 650r and there is many you see working daily that are in a worst condition than this one here. We use them off roads on our farm and the terrain is hella bad all with volcanic stones and they always work. Change oil and filters and never ever had an issue.
I'm not book smart at all, I'm good with my hands but bad with telling it out loud. I knew this needed a top end when I kicked it but wanted to double check. I have been selling parts for many years and have a lot of experience with the 400ex which is very close to the same engine. They are really great machines when they are running right.
