You are not an idiot. By a stroke of good luck and being in the right place at the right time, you have managed to pick up a work of art, These are great, reasonably easy to work on and require little maintenance. Got over 10,000 on mine in less than two years and still haven't managed to break...

Bought an '06 pampera 400 new october 2006. Well over 250 hours on clock and over 10,000 kays. Apart from keeping oil and air clean and feeding it tyres, nothing else has been needed. I regularly check valves, never had to adjust. This is the best bike I have ever owned, I'm 45 and have been...

My '06 GG 400 pampera started slipping the clutch at about 2000k. Worried the hell out of me. Was really bad when cold but firmed up a little bit when warm. Someone suggested bleeding the clutch and I thought that would be the least obvious action. Anyway, bled the clutch, took about 5...

You wont regret it. Bought a new 400 pampera last year and done over 8000 k on it so far. Once you get the jetting tuned right it will start easy run well and the smile wont leave your face. Used to do a lot of trail, worked as a contractor for national parks but the bike can rip it up when you...

Got an '06 400 pampera with the stock krieger on it. Done over 8000 k on it and still have not had to repack. Lots of people comment how quiet it is when just tooling along. If you crank the revs up it gets a bit loud but I don't think it's loud enough to be offensive. Looked at other pipes...

Thanks mate, do you have a manual and if so, how did you get it.

Hi everyone, need some assistance with a valve check on an 06 pampera 400. Can't seem to find the valve clearance figures or cam journal torque figures. Doing the job is no problem, I just need the data. If someone can supply or point me in the right direction on the web I would able to do the...

Right hand down, try not to die..................

Clean brake pads in the dishwasher. The alkaline based detergent is brilliant. As for the noise, go out to your car and remove one of your front brake disc pads and observe the thin piece of metal clipped onto the back. This thin bit of crap stops your brakes squealing and howling. Don't...

I live in the Northern Flinders of South Australia and we have nothing but rocks. If I want to ride in sand I have to head for the beach. Now I know that I am becoming a crusty old fart but all my rock riding over the last 35 years (started young on a bantam) has taught me that a combination of...

Almost identical to the fse. Most components are shared. The 400 pampera has a carby, marz forks and a less adjustable rear shock. Weight is the same, fuel capacity is a little more due to no fuel pump in tank. 'Tis a good trail bike when set up with proper guards and here in Australia it has...

Should be easy to fix being efi. Find a gas analyser and a dyno. Bet its running too lean at about 3000rpm. From what Im reading from other posts and other forums, euro bikes are way too lean when they get here. My motor is basically the same as yours but with a carby and I had to go up two...

Hope you can soon get them. Ive done over 4000k on mine since october and I love it. Its basically the 450 with standard forks and a carby instead of efi. Heaps of linear power with no throttle bog and you don't need a laptop to change the idle.

Got a pampera 400, great bike but it pisses oil into the air box. Ends up with the luxury of a self oiling chain and a huge mess on the side of the bike. This has been happening since new. Am I putting too much oil in the tank, should I only check oil when hot to allow for expansion or is this...

You got it, also do contract for national parks laying fox baits. Don't know what the hell you others are riding, the pampera 400 4stroke is not a little girls bike or light duty toy. Maybe what we get in Oz is different. My bike works hard over rough ground. Tyres don't wear out here, they...
