@kirkconway hello kirk ? the best way to find a tm400 is to check local free adds eg ORANGE COUNTY RECYCLER thats where mine came from also put a add inthe local papers !!! some people are comming up a bit tight for money nowadys and will sell that old dirt bike they have stashed away eg perhaps a tm400j ! 1972 !!!!

hope you find one there a lot of fun

@kirkconway KIRK PUT A ADD IN THE RECYCLER ! THATS WHERE THIS BIKE CAME FROM BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD FRAME ON IT ! THE FRAME ARE MADE OF LIQUISH LOL BUT GREAT FUN TO RIDE ! I HAVE A GREEVES EAST COASTER HERE FROM KENTUCKY !

@kirkconway kirk have you tried a free adds magazine write your looking for dead or working old suzukis and also join the tm news groups thre are a lot of guys with tm,s in there !

Do like a slow walk around video,that would be nice to see.Its got some power,you can tell it wants to lift the frontend!

[GREEVES246]

@illbeda i will get her out and take a slow walk around the bike (working on a 1970 380 greeves griffon) at the mo) the feel of the tm400r to ride is the bike wallows in the middle and suspention is of no dampening but the engine has no flywheel weight so you have to blip the throttle to get it off the mark but the performance is strong and warrented a better cycle.

Hi Gary, hows it going I hope good. Ive put stuff in vintage MX us, but to no avail. all the guys in there think thier stuff is worth more than it is. I was gonna put an ad in cycle trader, I was gonna put a TS type ignition in a TM, and then it would run better. and then see what happen's. hope thing's are good where you are. Take it easy ok. Kirk.

Hi Gary, its kirk,

Yea Im wanting to get a72 TM 400 in the yellow color.

Yea the frames were ok, but you can always get betrwer shock's and fork spring's for it.

yea they are really something,

I think alot better than the 73, 74's even.

suzuki toned the powrband down a bit , but then it lost it's character.

really neat bike's though.

[GREEVES246]

@illbeda IN THE HANDBOOK MANUAL IT TELL YOU YOU CAN RAISE THE EXHAUST PORT FOR MORE POWER LOL !

[GREEVES246]
