Honda xr400 problems solved!

In this video we change the jetting of the honda xr400. The bike had a delay in throttle response. When i changed the pilot jet to a bigger size the problem was solved. Also we made all parts look brand new again on the 21 year old honda xr400. Now we got a good looking and good running bike. So this video shows how you can build a dirtbike on a budget!

    Did you loosen the carb intake on the filter or head side or were you able to just go up from the bottom with a screwdriver and remove the float bowl bolts/screws?

    Not a fan of the grips, personally. Also, it's better to sand off the rust off the frame first, then give it a base coat, and wet-sand that, before (masking and) spray-painting. Also the frame paint color doesn't match. Just get the right color...
