if #2 and #3 are still working/failing whichever way round the leads from the coils are, the problem is fuel or air, not ignition. #2 and #3 both use the same coil and both fire at the same time.
So, its either the carb not supplying fuel or the valves not allowing air in/out of the cylinder. My money is on the carb

sounds like a blocked jet on #3

Welcome to the forum.

Double check you wiring as the diagram appears incorrect for the operation of the relays.
Relay will just switch power to the lights and your diagram has the high and low beams on together. You will need a change over switch for the lights to switch from low to high. A change over switch will take 3 wires. In your drawing the Blk/Yell will go to the center pole of the switch and the Blue and White will go to the outer 2poles.
On older vehicles it was common for dipped to remain on when high beam came on so it may not be incorrect.

Easiest way to make a bike faster is for the rider to eat less pies.

IIRC, the change just involves joining two wires together but may be as "difficult" as cutting the connector blocks off the old and new switches and just using some connectors to join the old connector block to the new switch wires - someone has provided you with the full details already. Should be no more than 15 minutes more time than simply plugging in the right one.
The only other option would be to speak to someone like Fazer Chris on the faceache sites and see if he has a 2nd hand one with a key.

I was reading about it on the Bikers Club in France group on Faceache, sounds like a real headache for the whole biking community. Unable to sell a bike now without a new(ish) CT after April(?) but no real test locations up and running and all bikes to be tested by the end of this year. The phasing in is mad - all in year one, just bikes reaching the age requirement in year 2 and 3 and then everything that was tested in year one again in year 4. They should have leveled out the demand. That said, MOT's in the UK are a good way to catch the stupid riders that have no real idea about bikes and are basically riding death traps. For the 90% of us though that do have an understanding, they are a waste of time and money.

could be a bad plug lead, water in the cap etc.

eh?
Not sure what you are asking for here

if its running on two, the other two will be pumping un-burnt fuel into the exhaust making it seem rich. That's assuming the carbs are not blocked.
Are the coils connected correctly? left hand one (as you sit on teh bike) connected to #1 & #4 and the right hand one connected to #2 & #3?
Does it run on all 4 at higher revs (above 4-5k)?

Bonjour mon ami.
There are a few of us with 2nd homes in France. At least a couple of us in Mayenne (53) and some further south. Not sure if there are any others that live there permanently though.
Welcome to the forum. It is a wealth of knowledge about these great bikes.
If you havent already done so, join the Facebook group too as that is a bit more active than here (search for foc-u to find it) though this is a great site to search for answers. Make sure you answer the questions or membership wont be approved.

As far as I can recall, the FZS400 was for Japan only but many found their way to the UK. Lots of parts are interchangeable with the 600 and even share part numbers. Unfortunately the carbs are one of the things that are not the same. This thread may help. 400 and 600 parts that are the same (foc-u.co.uk)

Cheers for the replies so far.
I'm getting a bit frustrated with the Haynes manual
Go to the downloads section on this forum and you will find the Yamaha official wiring diagrams.

You don't need to align the engine to change the tensioner.

the initial clicking is the fuel pump.
If the engine is turning over, here are a few things iot wont be before people suggest otherwise.
- Kill switch
- side stand switch
- clutch switch
For the coil resistance, if you are seeing the same on both coils, chances are they are fine, its just your meter accuracy thats out.
have you got both coils connected on the low tension side? could be a bad earth if you are not getting a spark on any plug. If its not a bad earth, it will be something else thats common to both coils like the ECU

yamaha dealer should be able to sort it out

That looks ok to me. They do crack more at the top as thats where the sun hits them. You will notice the inner ones are not normally as bad as the outer ones.

Annoyingly, apparently some cars that have that stop/ start system that cuts the engine when they're stopped at traffic lights etc, rely on the foot brake being pressed to operate!
That means that, if you do like I was taught, ie foot brake to the lights, come to a halt, handbrake, neutral, foot off brake, the system doesn't work on those cars 
On my Audi, when you stop, put the handbrake on and put it in neutral (or park as its an auto) the engine stays off until you push the brake again to put it back in drive. As its an auto though, i just keep my foot on the brake

I used to have a pair of soft leather gloves that I kept going back to as i couldn't find a suitable replacement pair. Eventually the things were falling apart but i did find another identical pair at one of the stalls at WSB where they were selling off discontinued stock. This was in the days before good internet search engines so a good Google may find you a pair of new old stock somewhere.
Eventually i replaced mine with some Triumph leather gloves which are almost as good.

The kill switch would stop everything.
If the clutch switch or side stand switch were playing up it wouldn't turn over either.

A nice cheap bike there. Enjoy it and welcome to the mad house.
