2000 Yamaha WR 400 F Questions & Answers
I'm about to buy a yamaha wr 400 f 2000 model and
The 400's are virtually bullet proof, much more reliable then the new generation. It is the pick of the WR-F's. The most problems i have heard off is lack of grease in the steering head bearings and swing arm bearings. Check these for notchiness. All japanese manufacturer's seem to put very little grease in these areas. Also any rattles from cold, could mean the timing chain is starting to waer and valves need shimming. Good things to do first up if has a few kilometers on it. But other than that just general bike checks, spokes, chain & sprockets, changes through all gears, clutch free play, frame conditions paying special attention to the footpeg mounts for cracks, hopefully the bike will come with a service history and you will score yourself a great bike!
