To spiff up an older fbike, the usual route is"
emulsion tubes )for excessive low rpm richness)
Carb kit (to allow proper tuning)
Ignition Advance (to bring back that "new bike" crispness)
Shift Kit (to make the 400 shift as good as, or better than an new bike)
All in all, adding the above (properly installed) will usually get you a bike that runs far better than a new bike did.
Now just one more step with the stacks!!!

![]() Sample pic of some fzr400 stacks from the R&D sessions - The production stacks are all the same length on the 400.
VEL-Y01S64-1515 $249.95 |
Boost power and response with the improved resonant
qualities of hard aluminum stacks vs. resonance absorbing soft rubber
stock stacks.
SPECIAL NOTES for professional tuners concerning
modified engine fzr400's:

![]() pn: CRZ-EMU-100105k (1WG-14141-90-00) $148 set of 4 |
Factory Pro's own Discontinued by Yamaha - Factory Pro designed and produced new tubes that will allow you to fix that overrich lowend fzr400 - The rebuilder's secret........ |
|
![]() CRB-Y01-1.0 $139.95 |
Adds more low-end / midrange, if the proper main jet is selected,
more top-end power. Easy to install and tune - no slide drilling! |
|
![]() CRB-Y01-3.0
$139.95
|
Requires removal of stock airbox and running 4 K&N or equivalent individual air filters. Can't use the above velocity stacks with K&N or BMC. It would be possible (though I haven't done it) to use a universal Unifilter. Low-end response is as good as, if not better than stock carb tuning. |

RTR-YAM-1 |
This Factory Pro kit advances the timing 5 degrees. With stock engines with stock compression ratios, there is more power everywhere. Part throttle power is better - helping corner exit speeds. Improved in-town drivability. |
|
![]() SHFT-PRO-YAM-1 $99.95 |
Make shifting MUCH quicker and virtually eliminate
missed shifts. This is exactly the same kit that Yamaha Racing has used.
Huge shift action improvement. :-) Marc |

| The extension of the laboratory
for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed
in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940).
He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after
the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar
to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal
use but well preserved. Edited to the tunes of Chemical Residue by Herbie Hancock. |

Maybe in next rewrite, he'll fix the ignition timing and dyno chapters... Otherwise great book with great starting ideas. |
