if mileage is no issue run bridgestone 090's awesome tyre on 400's agree the supercorsa is a great tyre but on a 400 the 090 has it for road track use in my opinion. if its pure track run corsas's with warmers

Il have to have a think about tyres, cant decide which way to go yet, they arent priority on my list of jobs so i have time to think.

So far i've done:
- Replaced The Engine (From a 40,000 miler to one thats done 5,000 miles)
- Replaced The Tyres (Just with second hand ones to get me by)
- New Chain & sprockets
- New Wheel Bearings
- New O-Rings Etc In Carbs
- New Seals Etc In All The Brake Calipers
- New Battery
- Replaced Starter Motor

All done myself with no clue at all what im doing lol (Except carbs)

Plans Still to do:
- New Fork Seals
- Wavey Discs & Pads All Round
- Re-Spray Wheels (Old owner removed half the paint cz thought it wud look good.. they dont lol)
- Race Can (possibly do headers too)
- K&N Airfilter (as mattely suggested)
- Carb Refurb (as wen seals were done some div munched all the bolts + need setting up for filter)
- New Tyres (Either BT090's or Super corsa's as suggested)
- New Fairing (Its abit to square for me especially at the back, gona go for a stealthy look lol)
- Respray (Just so new fairings the same scheme as what i already have)
- New Radiator Fans
- LED Guages (making these myself so this one depends if they actually work lol)

Altho i have a feeling if the bank manager gets her way then i wont be allowed to do half of my list, she's already taken the wallet away several times lol.. back to bribing her with shopping money agen, usually works lol

Il hopefully get some pics up soon on here somewhere so you can see what ya been helpin me fix :)

Thanks again for all the help :)

Don't bother with wavey discs, just get decent pads and braided hoses, you'll be amazed by the difference. I've got some fans in the shed i think?!? Will check next time i'm out there.

one thing i will say. if you havent done the carbs yet. i would definately not fit a k&n until the carbs have been stripped and rebuilt. and setup properly before moving on to tuning.
