    Aye, it's for the 400. If you could that would be stellar, and I'll give it a look and see if it's something I could do without mucking it up something awful. Would really appreciate it.

    There we go.
    They're not a hard bike to work on, the carbs are easy to get apart and having them apart will help you see how they work (in-case you don't know)
    Learning is good

    What kind of toolset do you need to take everything apart and then get it back together again? Toolkit at home is fairly basic at the moment.

    Been a while since I've been under the tank in one, but basic sockets set/spanners, screw drivers and possibly allen keys (but I doubt it)

    It is pretty detailed for the Hitachi carbs where as you'll most likely have Mikuni but they will be very similar
    That site will have any XJ info you need somewhere

    Cool, thanks for that. That's a pretty legendary site. It's so damn hard to find info on the 400s that isn't in japanese

    Lots of jap import (grey import in UK) info here. Found a manual for my Impulse that seemed impossible to find
