Message: [QUOTE="snaggleXR4, post: 186826, member: 24395"] Hey, Hmmm. Very strange. But again, I must say I've experienced the problem before. Check your crankcase oil check bolt, make sure there is oil in your tranny. Not that it will help in this particular situation, but per the Honda Service manual, the dipstick should just sit on the threads, do not screw it in to check the oil level. Again, if you have oil in your tranny, and you know you put in almost 2 quarts, you should be good to go. Keep checking it though, maybe after a longer ride it will show a more accurate amount. On your jetting. A good friend of mine has a 97 XR400. He has stock 162/62 jets, no snorkel and has removed his baffle from the stock pipe. His bike runs kinda blubbery and floods pretty easily if he kills it, but otherwise runs ok. So, if you have your exhaust baffle in you will still need to be a bit leaner as mentioned before. [/QUOTE]
