72' 400 with 75' wr engine 2048-0604

What are your thoughts on buying a non matching bike? Plenty clean but bill of sale only, no title
Comes with original forks and shocks. Owner is honest about it.

Depends...If it is going to be a rider, and a good price, buy it and make it into a rider. If you want it to be original it might not be what you want. Me, I would make it a rider. Plastic fenders, Mag swingarm, modern bars, you know the drill. Not being original removes some stress on what to do for me. Grab a handful of throttle and point it and have fun. I have a 75 wr250 and would love to have a 400 in my frame.

Steve mcqueens bike on any sunday right? 400cross

No, the bike in On Any Sunday was the old right side shift oval case 4/8 speed.

It's nothing special, just a nice 400 I'd like to have along side my 250wr

just get it... no one is that much of a purist here (except visituer maybe)

75 400 WR is a six speed and I see the bike has a Mikuni conversion and Works Performance shocks. Awesome stuff.

6 speed, I did'nt know. Thanks, working on a deal . Edit, spoke to the owner he says it's a 5 speed. Edit Fri.AM, on my way to get it, 12 hour drive

Got the 400 and a 76' 360 WR jumped in my pickup while in Wa. Here's the air cleaner that was in the 360, looks backwards to me?? It can't be right can it? The 360 needs a little TLC, been sitting a long time. Got it running but need to jet the carb. Must be the wrong R fender with the gap in the seat, it also rubs the tire when suspension is compressed

yea its backwards. Kind of suffocates the engine that way. The 360 is in good condition. Has it been restored or refurbished or it original?

I think you just jetted the carb right...

It's been refreshed a while back, guess I'd better get a new AC before trying to jet it. It's running fat on the main maybe the way they had the AC is the cause. Just got back today, took the carb apart and blew the jets and passages, drained old gas then it started 2nd kick. Glad to hear it run because I bought it not running so that's always a gamble. Shifts good, went on a 10 mile ride only fault I can find is blubbering on the main and tire rubbing the fender. Took a look at the reeds they were OK, changed tranny oil etc. Maybe put new fenders if I can find the correct ones, they have been painted and it's flaking off, otherwise just clean up, lube cables etc.
