Another question I have the old wiring loom but no switches, what do people recommend using for light swithes and kill switch.

I just wired it all direct, no switch. there was a std husky square killbutton the 400, plugged it into the spot on the coil for it.

would take nothing at all to grab a jap switch block and wire in hi low etc., use the horn as a killer

have choice your ignition
SEM or MOTOPLAT ?

We have installed the SEM ignition in it, the frame has the correct mountings to suit it so will give it a go first.
Have given it a kick and has spark will hopefully get it running over Christmas.
Will install the motoplat if the sem gives me grief.

(2 ) cable (s) yellow =ligths (70 w one ! )
1 cable orange =stop engine !

Have had the xc running not real good but a start.
Also have just acquired some shocks to suit, got the 420mm ones to lower it a little for the bush.
When I rebuild the forks is it possible to shorten them a little to lower the front a bit?
Hopefully will have it ready for its first vinduro next month...

you can get some later wr damper rods which will reduce travel to 10"

Hey all just trying to find out the type of fork oil and the quantity or level for fork oil in the XC?

Cheers Rob

How are you going with the 125 ? I'm on the sunny coast QLD. Australia. I have a 77 which is ready to when I work out the timing on the motoplat. Fork oil is usually 6 inch's from the top with forks compressed , some people will bash me for this but I find 20/50 engine oil works fine .

haha so does my dad . it works . sort of

This is from the 81 tech ref in the vintage tech section. 1st value is for an oil change the 2nd is for a complete dissassembly

sorry, it didn't copy...440cc XC/CR, 450cc XC/CR SAE 10 - 30 is recommended wt

Thanks for the info guys, bike is slowly getting there lots of missing bits taking a while to get.

I wouldn't buy a bike like this again, one that someone has had a go at and just basically made a mess of it.
I have a KTM which needs lots of work also but at least it had just been sitting and is all complete and unmolested.
