Okay so the bike is just about complete ready for next years season, the bike was booked in for some dyno time and set up this week so I thought Id change the plugs, oil, filters etc.... you get the gist.

I took the old plugs out and the new plugs nearly fell through the heads, so I though Id got the wrong plugs but NO I had the right plugs just the wrong ENGINE !!!!

The plugs are a BP7***something which basicly fit a 400ss, so there I was running the bike locally for the first time the other day and thinking 'Really' is this all you've got and thinking the new exhaust Id just bought was causing the bike to hold back loads and it just needed a really good set up.

My question to you all is, Is the 400ss internal parts (except the barrels and pistons) the same as the 600ss as I will keep this for spares if so and also will the carbs etc be the same as the 600 but just need re-jetting or will these need replacing ?

Its just been one of those weeks, I travelled 2.5hrs to Hastings on Monday to look at a Van/Camper to use for next year, the guy new I was on my way and when I got there he said sorry mate I sold it 10 mins ago, first come first served he said, such a nice bloke............NOT.

You gotta laugh or Id cry.......
