Im not a fan of "fairing off" fzs but yours I like, maybe its the chrome clocks and chrome headlight bracket and headlight trim all against the alloy and black bike, and whats with that infill above the rad and under the tank, ive never seen that done and it look great, I also see you have done what I have and taken of the grab rail ---looks much better.
I want to see more pictures of the front please


Don't forget it's a 400 not a 600.

Where do you get those "face plant" smiles.
I have never seen a 400 it look exactly the same --- is that how they come then - without the fairing.
And that infill - if you were to naked a 600 could you use that 400 one or adapt the 600 fairing infill   
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Thanks for the compliment :)

I don't know that you can swap them between the 400 and 600 but my local Yamaha dealers said they were looking at it while I was getting the forks done and couldn't see any real difference between the 400 and 600. They didn't put a 600 next to it but you know.

When I got the bike it had a horrible Givi rack on the back an no grab rail, I didn't take it off but I would have.

I don't have many pictures actually... Here are a couple.

I think I can see what it is-- it looks the same but unless you are a giant -everything is smaller except I think the wheels - thats why they look fat in proportion to the rest, and the rad looks big on the smaller, also the forks thick so I think they are shared with the 600. The frame maybe is smaller so it fits snug around the smaller engine.
Or is it the same engine -sleaved down ???

There's a standard 400

The 600 is a copy of the 400 so its basically the same

The tyres are over sized, I think the standard ones are meant to be 160 on the back and 110 on the front if I recall correctly. but I have 180 on the back and 120 on the front I think.

I'm not a giant but possibly too big for this bike I'm 6ft 2"

Dunno about the engine, there are other differences for example my clutch has 5 screws and springs and the 600 has 6 I believe.

I think the size of the rad and forks just look different because there's no faring and the rad guard is shiny, biggest diffs I see front calliper, and on that silver one, no grab rail but seat strap.

Has yours got holes for a rail in the top of the rear fairings ?  Or maybe the seat has bean recovered.

Then I am confused that your rear pegs are the rubber toped ones

It's another seat I have the original too and that has a strap. I have no holes in the side of the rear fairing but I do have 2 holes just behind the back of the seat.

The front calipers are Brembo I dunno what the 600 has?
