Yamaha FZR400, 88-90
The FZR400, even in 2007, in the USA, is still the best 400cc Production or Supersport bike available.
The USA hasn't received the updated 400, even as of 1998 or 2007.

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!!!

Item Description

A sample picture of Dave Norgard's race winning fzr400 carb set with his" formally secret" Factory Pro Superflare stacks.

Boost power and response with the improved resonant qualities of hard aluminum stacks vs. resonance absorbing soft rubber stock stacks.
The Factory Pro Superflares feature an improved taper inner diameter profile for air straightening and an optimized inlet radius that promotes enhanced pressure wave pressure wave propagation and recovery rates.
 

SPECIAL NOTES for professional tuners concerning modified engine fzr400's:
Since a high percentage of fzr400's are racebikes or trackday bikes, with different pistons, porting and cams, the desired stack length may be different from what the stock engined 400 wants.
For modified bikes, please send a dyno chart, preferably under full load, and I'll try to custom fit stack lengths for you.
Also, please send the length of the stacks you are using, measured from the inside airbox base to the top of the stacks.
And maybe a digital picture of the stock stacks, in the airbox, too.
Factory Pro's patented "quickchange" stacks are potentially available in lengths as short as about 10mm to 80mm, in 5 and 10mm steps
Thanks - Marc

CRB-Y01-1.0   $139.95

1. Choose your shipping method

2.

Standard drop-in carb kit

Adds more low-end / midrange, if the proper main jet is selected, more top-end power. Easy to install and tune - no slide drilling!
Note: Do not use standard, drop-in K&N air filter. This is the only K&N application that does not work to improve power - even if jetting is matched to filter.

CRB-Y01-3.0    $139.95
(not including air filters)

1. Choose your shipping method
2.

 

Config 30 carb kit

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.

Ignition Advance Kit

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

2.

Trans Detent Arm Kit

Make shifting MUCH quicker and virtually eliminate missed shifts. This is exactly the same kit that Yamaha Racing has used. Huge shift action improvement.

The kit requires the removal of a 27mm clutch nut - so, you'll need a:
Deep 27mm socket and an Air or electric impact wrench
If you insist on not having an impact wrench, you'll need / appreciate.......
A friend to hold the rear brake on while you loosen the 27mm nut while the bike is in 3rd (ish) gear.....

Every time I say - "I'm going to discontinue that kit." You guys, start calling and buying them again! OK- OK!! One more year!  2010!!!
OK, OK, OK!!! 2005, too!!

Artisan Crafted Fine Cheeses – Since 1865       

Specializing in Handmade Brie & Camembert

Marin French Cheese Co., also known as The Cheese Factory and Rouge et Noir is not just the oldest cheese manufacturer in the country, but a vacationers and day trippers destination as well as a unique part of American History. Located north of San Francisco, east of Napa County, west of Pt. Reyes and Olema and south of Sonoma County, Marin French has produced hand crafted Artisan soft ripened cheese since 1865. Rouge et Noir cheeses are similar to French and European varieties but reflect the characteristics of Northern California, producing it's own regional style.
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.
