Beautiful man I own a 78 rm400 and a 78 yz400 that I’m rebuilding and man did that freakin rm rip. 80cc to a 400cc what a jump (ridden other big bikes but not mine )
Nice looking RM 400 and thanks for taking us along for the winter ride ! 👍 That's something a lot of people overlook is short rides in cold weather as it's just different . Frozen ground and cold air make sound carry farther . I wonder if a shot of starting fluid would help on those cold mornings ?
A little carb clean in the plug hole if it's been sitting for quite some time. I always cycle the engine quite a bit to pull some of the mixture in. Usually doesn't need it though!
@@umiko3532 Good deal and I will try that as cold weather is headed our way . I ride a geared down 2004 Suzuki RM 250 and just bought a 1978 Suzuki PE 175 . Your video is helping me look forward to winter time . 😀
AMEN and that's exactly why I went with the PE175 ! In my area we can buy a decal from the BMV and ride dirt bikes on county and back roads . And that's a PE 175's back yard .
The way this bike looks and sounds and how your started it. and let warm up gently are the true signs of Zen motorcycle care and rider, Tip if you will...Do empty the carb after riding it by closing the fuel valve and let it Idle or jus lean it to the ground., also have you change the Spark plug recently and cleaned the air filter? Thank you for sharing. Myself former MX racer from the 70's.
