Hi peoples just a general warning with the button kit that you can get in OZ for XR400's dont risk it I only got 9 months out of mine and the adapter shaft let go. Apparently there is a batch of soft shafts and they screw out. Got no help from the supplier in VIC he actually palmed me off saying that it was a lack of oil but every body that has looked at the shaft said it was soft, even the Honda shop head Mech that installed it. He was disgusted with the attitude from the supplier as well. Another $1000 bucks later and the thing starts but now im packin it thinkin its gunna pop it self again BE WARNED.
