Welcome John,
 
Love the 400 but be warned you may be inundated with compliments/drooling from the boys with your fine woman on her stead  :b ;)

Lol thanks Daz  :D . Sorry, random question... are you affiliated with the CB1100F.NET site?

Another wife happy  :lol
Absolutely brother. She LOVES this bike. She rode a Suzuki Intruder 800 for a year and HATED it... In fact she almost packed biking in, until this baby arrived  :D

Hope I am not posting in the wrong spot, if so the moderator can move these posts to the correct place. Another shot of the motor  :)

I took the stock exhaust off... too quiet... and braised up a new pipe from an old Cowley can I had. It is a straight through pipe and it is loud and proud.

I sprayed the motor with 2K matte black and powdercoated the covers...

Hello there chap!! great pair of bikes, i would like to know how the 400 goes
Hey there. The 400 goes very well, However one thing I have learned is you need the rev's with these smaller bikes. Other than that it goes well, good enough for the wife at least.

Hi John and welcome from sunny Leytonestone UK or as its now known "South Africa UK". Be careful mate. As u know Cars/ bikes/insurance very expensive in SA. Thats if any fucker has insurance and thats a very capable bit ov kit u got there. Especially if its blue.
Hehehe - it is blue  :D  and I will post up some pic's on the weekend. I cannot believe that in a month I have converted from a DIE HARD Honda fan to Yamaha. You say a rocket compared to my Honda 11F? Hell yeah  :D .
 
The only thing I need to do on the 400 is put an original front MC on. The PO fitted a 1999 Honda Fireblade MC and the resevoir is in the way of the rev  counter and fuel gauge. Having said that, the Brembo's are VERY sharp. I managed to source an MC here in SA pretty cheap (around 100ZAR (about 7 quid)), so I am pretty stoked. Pic's to follow... South Africa UK? WTF?

Hi all
 
John from Durban South Africa. I have always owned and restored Honda CB's (CB750/900/1100F) bikes '79 to '83. Anyway got myself a 2005 Fazer 1000 and I LOVE IT!!!! Liked it so much, I saw a good deal on a 1997 FZ400 so bought one for the wife and she loves it - now there is a "mini me". This is a great resource for these bikes. Thanks a million.

Fazer 400 and other models / FZ400 Plug Wire Order
« on: 10 May 2013, 04:03:55 pm »
Good evening lads
 
I bought my wife an FZ400 with 14,000 km's on the clock odd. The bike was in good condition, but I cleaned it up real good and it is looking sweet. One thing I didn't do was note the order of the plug wires. I have looked at the FZS600 SM and I am guessing the plug wire order from the coils are the same on the 400?
 
So sitting on the bike from left to right, the left coil would be plugs 1 and 4 and the right coil 2 and 3?
 
Thanking you in advance.
 
Regards
