Everybody knows that changing a carburetor is just plain fun.

I started upgrading the xr400 a couple nights ago.
First off, I swapped the stock Honda PIA carb for a pumper carb made by mikuni. It came pre-jetted from xrsonly.com for 3500ft.
Changing the carb on these bikes is a rather involved process. It took approximately 8 beers.


It probably should have taken 20 minutes...
In the end. I installed the Mikuni, flipped the gas, kicked twice and the old beast fired right up. Whew!

Oh...and one more thing.

You might have noticed there are now 4 in the garage.
Sean OB picked up a nice 97 XR250 last night.

Who wants to join my biker club? We ride this Sunday...
Maybe I'll shoot some vids.
I do I do!!!!
