    Hi guys, would anyone have a downloaded workshop manual that shows how the electrics connect to the frame/engine/handle bars? I did download one manual from a vintage husky site (UK based i thought) and its in swedish but doesn't really show any electronics (only mechanics). If someone has a PDF or link to a really good detailed view, that would be great. I can supply my email if anyone wants to send it to me rather than post it. Thanks all !

    Awesome looking bike! Apart from normal tank yellowing, I prefer the look of the '86 over the later models.
    How did you get your tank so white?

    I haven't done anything more than just normal cleaning. It looked very good from the beginning. Used steel wool together with foam to pollish certain parts. It worked very well

    Hi there, really nice job. Can i ask a big favour…do you have any close up pictures of how you attached the electronics to the bike that you can post. Also one of the chain tensioner set up? Thanks a ton!

    Hi Alistair! Thanks. Of course will I do that. Is it the electronics under the tank you are interested in? Will take pictures later. No problems!

    P-A hi, did you feed the wiring harness up through the main frame down tube (the one which has a hole just under the headstock) or just attach it to the down tube? Just trying to work out how to best route the harness around the radiators etc. Cheers, A

    Hi! Now the restoration work will start again with the WR400. First of all I will paint the exhaust pipe and make the silences look nicer. I will also paint the Öhlins shock absorber. The radiators will be looked after and all the hoses replaced. When I checked the water pump housing I noticed that the transmission cover had oxidied and that water had mixed with the oil. Not good. I don't know how to solve it? New transmission cover? If someone have an idea it would be nice. I will upload pictures soon.
