Welcome tacos.
Nothing wrong with the GN's. :yes:
List whats wrong with the 400, and what you need in the Mechanical Forum. Someone might be able to help.

List frame and engine #'s so people know what to track down.

Hi Taco,

What insurance companies have you tried? Have you tried Dave at Kiwibike www.kiwibike.co.nz/ helpful fellow.

I remember when we first started riding, Hubby had a hard time at first trying to get insured, the AA didn't want to touch him being on a learners licence (despite having a full car license and being 28). Being shortsighted, they subsequently lost all our insurance after being so unhelpful (car/contents/house etc). I'm sure you'll find different people have different experiences with companies, so keep trying. Give Dave a phone or email, he'll give it a bash I'm sure.
