My New to me 1999 YZ 400

Luedecke2009 · 07-12-2008, 07:44 PM

Parts ordered include chain, front and rear sprocket, front fork seals, no toil air filter, complete clutch assembly, front break hose (it currently has the wrong one) and a rear tire.

Upgrades I would like to add are ASV clutch and brake perches and levers. Some aftermarket skid plates, not sure whic yet any suggestions? (Does any one have any dealings with the carbon fiber?)

All the plastics are in good shape so, I am wanting to put some sort of graphics kit on but, I am still trying to decide which to go with....any suggestions??

Winter project will consist of tearing into the engine and checking everything over, possible full rebuild. Rear shock rebuild, all swing arm bearings and bushing replacement, steering head bearings.

Hope to have some action shots soon....

FLU makes some nice looking graphics kit, i used to have them on my YZ, you can see it on my avatar picture. it was 100 for the complete kit, shrouds, forks, seatcover, front fender and rear fender, but i broke both of those off so you dont see them. it was pretty good quality too
