Motorcycle Center Stands How-to Yamaha SR400
Still looking for one in AR... 5k seems to be the nationwide price in 2024 for this bike... wirh VERY few available. Sure wish I'd bought one back then as a 2nd bike... the price I 'thought' was too high at 6k has proved to be a great investment.... besides all the fun I've missed in 10 years! Ame close to buying a Triumph t-100 for 4k recently.. but I wasn't close and it sold... but I'd really like to have the kick start and Yamaha dependability.
Am I hungry now?
What size pad do you have? L or S?
The old SR500s had a handle for this purpose.
I swapped them out with the Hitchcocks upgrade and they still are giving me a problem..... sometimes it primes sometimes it doesn't.... 2022 model and with all the issues this is my last Royal Enfield and I like the bike but I am constantly working or replacing factory parts... terrible quality control from a company that has been around in India for so long... you pay for what you get.

Every engine, petrol, deisel,gas, SHOULD be allowed to warm up a little before having loads put on it. Just like an athlete will warm up before competing.
Hi I’m from japan and also riding this bike I’m surprised that they have sr400 in the US Your bike looking very good👍
Thanks so much
Thank you
Mine is hard to start too, even with a booster plug and a tps adjust. Very frustrating.
Thanks for watching and good luck. I finally sold mine.
Cool. I’m curious about speed on highway. I have a Ninja 400 which easily rides at 75 or 80mph on highway without a problem. Will this 400 do the same? I’m looking to get away from the sport bike riding position and move to a standard riding position. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. The little one-cylinder engine revs like crazy doing 65 on a gentle uphill; I weigh 190
@@poormansmotorcycleclub7581Thanks for the reply! I guess it’s safe to say not all 400cc’s are created equal. :) I looked up the specs. My Ninja 400 has about 45 horsepower and the SR400 has about 23.
there is some kind of magic behind that oldschool technology ;) someone can efford a new Tesla etc. but it won't have a soul this bike has. It is not only motorbikes but old radios etc. This is why people renovate them very often. The built quality also. I think we got lost a little bit with the technology (which I use all the time at work for example) but this bike is a symbol of what's really important in life :)

Have the seat reupholsterd and ditch the knobbly tyres - job done I'm 6' 2" and habe no problem paddling but anyone under 5' 10"" may have problems
Thanks for watching. I am way, way below 6’ 2”, and I’m not getting any taller lol
All Himalayans have pour quality relays. Change the and you re fine.
Nice bike! The tuneforks are not that mysterious, Yamaha makes some excellent musical instruments as well 😉
Don't you know putting helmet on the floor is a bad luck man? 🙈 Nice bike though...
Never heard that superstition. Thanks for watching
Greetings! Nice Bike! Where can I get that rear mudguard from?
Thanks for watching! This was a few years ago and I have since replaced that whole deal with a wonderful Ellaspeed tail tidy. If I recall correctly, that’s The fender that was on it, but maybe not. Sorry.
Hi! I agree with that it is better to ride thousand miles on cheap bike, than a few miles on expensive bike. More fun, less showing off ;)
The snow is melting and I’m about to ride! Thanks for checking in
That’s the 2015 anniversary edition. With that aftermarket exhaust, you’ll get less decel popping if you remove the air injection system (and block off the resulting exhaust port hole). I speak from sea-level experience, so your altitude might have an effect on that.
That seat really pops, what a gorgeous, honest bike.
Very kind words

I couldn’t say. I’ve only adjusted mine a couple of times in five years.
Is it the nature of the beast to constantly have to play with the idle screw and choke on these bikes depending on the weather?
I have one from a different manufacturer that's virtually identical in most ways except the one I have has quick release levers instead of twisty knobs to lock things in place. Another difference is mine came with a wheel truing attachment that mounted on the top. The manufacturer that made mine no longer makes it. I found that out when I tried looking it up to find a small replacement part years later. I'm guessing they sold the patent or the rights or whatever to this company since they're so similar. Anyway, I've been pretty happy with mine. The only real downside is it can be a bit wobbly with a heavy bike mounted on it but I find that an acceptable trade off if you need the portability just to be able to stow it away in a closet if you don't have a whole room to dedicate to bike maintenance.
Where did you get that rear fender and the seat too looks super nice!!
Same problem ! 2021 bs6 himalayan ,when i turn on the key i can hear the fuel pump sound and battery is good and when i click the self starter is working but bike is not oning ,i swapped the relay but nothing works ,can anyone help me
You could be proud of that review. It was excellent and you were the perfect host. Hi from Brisbane Australia. I ride a 2021ktm Duke 390 but boy i love that Yamaha. Perfect new old school.😊😊
You just made my day. Thanks a million and happy new year.
which year is it
2015, I think Thanks for watching!
Thanks alot. Saved my day.
So glad
I have an SCR. Fantastic bike. It is 248 kg wet, so only 545.5 lbs. I don't find it at all heavy. The music drove me mad.
Heavy? Its so light! If compared harleys or even honda vt 1100
Love my Speedy.... great video. ;0)
Thanks!
Thanks for the tip. My bike has been stalling and couldn’t find what to do until this video. Did you initially turn the screw clockwise or counter clockwise?
Looks like clockwise to raise revs. You’ll find out in half a turn. Thanks!
clockwise= increases the rpm / counterclockwise = slows down the rpm
HD BATWING Fairings are attached to the handle bars and turn with them!
Yeah, I got that wrong. Thanks for watching!
I choose the XT250 for two reasions. One much better off road, So much more dependible, And Three still made in Japan, Quality machine. Himalayan suffer production issues. The quality of parts was not up to the mark and in 2017 some users filed lawsuits to either demand compensation or return the bike for refund. You can not expect quality from a country that still does not know what a work bench is. Made in India, ya that speeks volumes. ua-cam.com/video/La_uOEcN2Fw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/LpxVRyBCvmU/v-deo.html Japan ua-cam.com/video/n-qxKsKmwS8/v-deo.html
Great demo, thanks.
Thanks! I should use this thing more often. It’s amazing.
I've just bought one in Thailand, after seeing them occasionally on the road. I had an XT 500 back in 1976 and it was one of a handful of bikes I wish I'd never sold! The SR is just perfect for the roads in N.Thailand and is as fast as I would ever like to travel here. Thanks for the review! By the way, did you remove the fuel tank breather/overflow cannister?
Thanks! The only thing I’ve done is replace the paper filter with a cleanable one. Reminds me, I should clean it😂
@@shermanallen I put a K&N only CRF 250L and it did make quite a difference. As I've only just bought the SR, I need to check what air filter the previous owner had fitted. Thanks for the reply!
Thanks!
THEMZ good looken motorcyclez ..!!
Thank you Sir, cool & informative video 😊
Much appreciated
This is exactly what happened to me. This swap out is the perfect, easiest diagnosis! Living in the US, I replaced both relays with Duralast relay model 20129 I picked up at my local AutoZone -- the electrical diagram on the Duralast is exactly identical to that on the original and to the one found on Hitchcock's website, so it was a perfect match. All works great! (I will of course carry an extra or two with me in the future.) Thank you!
On the contraire i have a xt 250 and im constantly getting attention from people wanting to talk to me about my bike.
Love these bikes and yours is a beautiful example. I’ve been looking for one to buy for some time but not very common where I live. Search continues. Thanks for the video. Cheers .Dan 🏍✌️🇨🇦
Thanks! You might find one, they last forever
I love the way you ended it
Hi Poor Man.... any recommendations for a 65 year old newby? Had bike my mid 20s, now im retired. Think about a small cruiser. Used okay. Thanks!
I actually do! Find a Yamaha VStar 250 twin. It’s as docile as a Schwinn stingray and an absolute blast to ride and when you’re done, you can sell it for the two grand you bought it off craigslist, for I would probably still own mine except I didn’t like the clutch; it has no friction zone. It’s either off or on.
I love the standard seat
Mine’s on a shelf in the garage; never had a chance to try it. Since the video was filmed, I put on a groovy Ellaspede. Riding it to work later this morning Thanks for watching
@@poormansmotorcycleclub7581 I've got a 1978 2J2 SR500
Great video but a note about the fill level - per my manual (found online - hopefully applicable to my bike but seems to be generic to all savages/boulevard s40s), the procedure to check oil level is to start the bike from cold and let is run for "a few minutes". Then turn the engine off and wait 3 minutes and check the level to make sure it's within the marks on the sight glass. I followed this procedure after my oil change and used a little less than 2 quarts with changing the filter as well. When the bike is sitting cold, the level is above the top of the sight glass. It only falls within the marks after doing to procedure in the manual. I read on the forums that this is a common confusion. I'm not exactly sure what the right thing to do is, but the owners manual seems to be pretty specific about checking the oil level. Whoever did maintenance on my bike last removed/lost the inner small O-ring so luckily I had purchased another one and installed. Your video was great to help me locate the drain plug and familiarize myself with the procedure.
Thank you for watching, and thanks for the helpful info. I ride this bike to work most days and it is a blast.
The Harley Bat wing fairings are mounted to the handle bars and turn with them!
Oops. Shows how much I know
What tires and size are they? I'm looking for replacement but no one seems to carry the OEM sizes. I might be stuck getting 3.5 inch fronts and 4 inch rear.
It’s in for a brake job; I’ll get back to you
