I was told that you dont have to do anything to the carbs if you take the restrictors out.. they dont modify it when they put them in, the bikes generally run a little off when there in.

I was supposed to have them in my ZXR, but told they do more harm than good...

I like the CBR400, and they go well... much rather a CBR400 than a VFR400!

Good luck with the work.. shouldnt be too hard..

Speak to a guy called Greame France, He's a legend on anything CBR400. Best mod handling wise is his modded CBR600 shock, Really improves the handling.
