    Refresh my memory - the XS 400 was a twin with Kehins?
    Yeah should be a few different bikes with the carb.

    CB400, GSX400..... would be the first 2 I would look at.

    Really - that is the same as the 650?
    Check the wreckers for XS650 carbs buddy. Should be a case of just swapping needles.
    From recall the GSX1100 had quad carb of similar variety.

    hey

    well ive been a real smart cookie and done some research on motorcyclespecs.co.za after i went to the bike shop. Mk let me start at the start.

    On my way from one job site to another i dropped into the bike shop. And on my way inside saw that the GN250 sitting out front had a similar carb to what i want. So i did a little googleing and found out that the gn250 has a single 34mm mikuni carb. so i checked out my bike specs again and saw that i have 2 34mm mikuni carbs!!!!!

    SSSSOOOOOOOO does anyone have a couple gn250 carbs that they dont need????

    Im so stoked ive found this out!!!!! just gota modify a few things to make them work in unison but thats sweet as. So yea gn250 carbs, need 2. please and thank you
