All,
I recently picked up a 2016 SR400 FI after having a lot of enjoyable years on one of its larger ancestors.
My family built and raced ‘78 TT500’s for about 5 years, and I have some basic knowledge about the early XTs as well. We weren’t running a hot rod shop by any means, but there was a wealth of information available among the racing community. We enjoyed tuning our suspension, and really dialing the bikes in the excel at different tracks.
A quick look at the SR400 FI tells me there are some significant differences between this bike and its predecessors. My Dad and I pored over it today after taking it around town for test rides.
We both enjoyed how mellow and fun the bike feels just tootling around town.
We also noticed some things that could stand to be changed.
What information, if any, from the early bikes applies to these new fuel injected 400’s?
Is there suspension part compatibility between this frame and other Yamaha's?
Do other modern bikes share parts, systems or measurements with the SR400 FI?
For example, is the emissions system from another bike?
Did they borrow this FI system from other road going bikes?
What tips and tricks from other bikes have you brought to your SR400 FI?
As a summary question, are there other Yamaha communities that contain useful info that is relevant to the SR400 FI?
