New grips, think i need some lock wire or glue to hold them in place

https://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii302/ian505050/ian505050%202/DSC00981_zps2c260bae.jpg

new front sprocket, chain and rear sprocket looks fine. On road bike i normally change everything in one go.

new shifter to fit

https://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii302/ian505050/ian505050%202/DSC00985_zpsfcb7b660.jpg

I want to do everything that the service schedule suggest at the major service point apart from piston rings as the bike seems to run spot on.

I am tempted to do the valve clearances but motomatrix my local offroad place does the check for £25 and a further £6 for each shim that needs replacing. Ideally i would like to watch someone do it before attempting it myself for the first time.

Use hairspray on the grips it will dry like glue and just slides on Nice bike.

Checking the valve clearances really shouldn't be complex. A bit harder to replace them.
One of the positives of the WR400 is that with the steel valves it's considered to have a pretty good service requirements - in reality should need messing with a lot less than the lighter and quicker 450 top competition bikes.
