[morph]

Hi has anyone done a list of compatable parts for a rd400e .Looking at Lc's a few parts look similiar eg rear footrests , neutral switch, airbox to carb clamps,cdi .TIA

Hi
I just compare parts numbers between bikes using the fiches I have downloaded off the net. Some engine parts share the same part numbers between the Lc and aircooled Rd's, but not many really. Having said that, I had a 400 engine with an Lc clutch fitted which had a different part number, so forum members experience is probably the best resource of what fits and what doesn't.

There are a lot of parts that are almost the same and will fit front and rear fot pegs switch gear carb and air box clips all the engine seals except the crank and they are the same on the E&F model its only the stator side that's not the sme on the others . wheel bearings clutch plats the list gos on .

Regulator IS the same
CDI is NOT the same, but I think an LC one would work on a RD400E/F, but have never tried it
Stator IS the same, connection plugs are different !
Flywheel will fit and work, but is different to an LC one
Clutch cable will fit
Speedo cable will fit
Tacho cable WILL fit
Throttle cable will NOT fit
Speedo drive will NOT fit (different diameter for wheel spindle)
Front wheel bearings are NOT the same (different spindle diameter)
Chain and sprockets WILL fit, but why bother ?
Oil pump and drive WILL fit as a complete unit, but it has a slightly different ratio/pump rate, but will work ok
Primary gears WILL fit (crank gear and clutch gear as a matched pair)
Pistons WILL fit ! (64mm bore)
Cranks will NOT fit
Gearbox bearings, some of the LC bearings are the same, I have a list somewhere
Gears, some of them are the same, again I have a list somewhere
Forks will NOT fit, unless you do the whole yolks etc as well, the head stock is the same length so they are a straight swap in that respect
Coils will NOT fit, but would work if you could fit them !
Wiring loom is different
Headlight is different, but would fit with some fiddling
Brake discs will fit, but 400 ones are 7mm and LC ones are 5mm, but they do fit directly between the models

Think that's about if it from me for now, I'll have to think about the rest of the bits

BTW, just clarify about the stator, what I should have siad above is that the coils and pick up are identical, the backing/mounting plate isn't, so you need to swap them over, but that's a 2 minute job. The RD400 only has 2 slots in the backing plate, the LC has 3
