1984 WR400

I've removed the other Rad and am getting the bottom bracket altered so I can rotate the rad and hopefully drop the shroud under the tank. Fingers crossed

Couldn't really see any other way. Looks to have been a problem for years as the tank is marked where the shroud has been rubbing it.

It's really taking shape, can't wait to see it complete!

Just picked up an 84 LC 400 as well. If the Vin #s are correct then it is an 84, because in 85 the numbers are like Husqvarna1 190001 on ( in think) there is a vin # lookup on here somewhere.
Noticed you have white forks. Was this on all 84 bikes? Not sure....

83 on where "milk truck" colors

It's pretty much built one and running!!

Just waiting on new carb jets n needle and graphics/seat cover

Darren , that came out really sweet. its a shame you're gonna go out and get it all dirty LOL. nice job man!

Thanks!!

And yes Once I get the carb parts it's time to go testing!!!

Nice build MR!

looks like a long legged missile.

take your top front brake arm and weld a piece in and extend it a cm or two (half - 3/4 inch)so the cable is just shy of the stay arm...helps with brake pull considerably!

Unless you need the sidecovers for numbers, I would get an old pair and cut away the square bit and leave the shocks hanging out in space, looks great!(IMO) especially with the CR guard.

First ride! Some carb issues to revisit and strangely it's selecting first gear all on its eon occasionally but atleast it's been out once. Won't be going to Farleigh castle with it now though

looks fantastic! if the carb is worn, just get a new one, well worth the $$ to not have to try and rejet round worn parts

Thanks!!

Just fitted a new carb with Husky spec internals. Need to fix the gearbox issue first then move on to the fueling/electrics. The 4 laps I did were pretty gentle as there are a lot of new parts on the engine!!

bike was handling well and power felt usable just not smooth and constant. Almost a 'pulsing' feeling.

go to be electrics? or fuel starvation? how is the tap flow? is the tank breather ok? air screw set 1.5 to 2 turns out? float level high enough? etc etc. Pulsing is not synonymous with WR 400s...

No I have some investigating to do for sure!

Darren!

Bike looks sweet! Nice job my friend!

Maybe it's a Darin thing!

That looks great! Credit to you Darren.

The bike sure looks great. Now just gotta work out the bugs. It will be worth the effort for sure...good luck.

A little update:

Regarding the neutral and jumping into gear issue have had the engine apart...right apart!!

The gear drum spring and ball bearing had 'jammed' . A very slight burred edge caused the issue....

While motor was out of frame It was easier to time the Electrex setup so that's spot on now too.

Bike is back together (complete with a new Sudco VM 38 carb) and starting first kick, something it was not doing before.

Now need some better weather to give it a run out and bed the engine in.
