Learn from our mistakes! Trust me, your bike will not run over 6k rpm without the magical powers of the stock air box.
In regards to the engine gaskets, there is an online version of the factory service manual for CB/CM400 bikes floating around. I think I even have a link to it in my build. The shop manual has a step-by-step guide to tearing down the engine and thus replacing the gaskets. Read through the guide a couple times before deciding you are up to the challenge.

' extended swingarm. the 400's really come alive when they are ran with pods and a more open exhausts. Its as simple as jet changes and needle shims. Hit me up and I don't mind walking you through it. You'll be glad you did.
If I get some extra time I'll start a thread on tuning the carbs for these bikes. I've noticed there is a theory on the carbs being untuneable. The E has idiot lights next to the speedo,and there is no difference in the motors. The difference is options like the wheels,tach,and the T had a windshield option if i remember correctly.fresh_c said:How about to post up specifically what to change rather than making everyone come to you?
