Foreword:

This manual is designed primarily for use in a properly equipped shop by motorcycle mechanics although it contains enough detail and basic information to make it useful to the motorcycle user who desires to carry out his own basic maintenance and repair work.

• Since a certain basic knowledge of mechanics, the proper use of tools, and workshop procedures must be understood in order to carry out maintenance and repair satisfactorily, the adjustments, maintenance, and repair should be carried out only by qualified mechanics whenever the owner has insufficient experience or has doubts as to his ability to do the work so that the motorcycle can be operated safely.
• In order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid costly mistakes, the mechanic should read the text, thoroughly familiarizing himself with the procedures before starting work, and then do the work carefully in a clean area. Whenever special tools or equipment is specified, makeshift tools or equipment should not be used.

Precision measurements can only be made by using the proper instru- ments, and the use of substitute tools may adversely affect safe operation of the motorcycle. This manual is divided into the following four sections:
(1) Adjustment
The adjustment section gives the procedure for all adjustments which may become necessary periodically and which do not involve major disassembly.
(2) Disassembly
This section shows the best method for the removal, disassembly, assembly, and installation which are necessary for maintenance and repair. Since assembly and installation are usually the reverse of disassembly and removal, assembly and installation are not explained in detail in many cases. Instead, assembly notes and installation notes are provided to explain special points.
(3) Maintenance and Theory of Operation
The procedures for inspection and repair are described in detail in this section. An explanation on the structure and functioning of each of the major parts and assemblies is given to enable the mechanic to understand better what he is doing.
(4) Appendix
The appendix in the back of this manual contains miscellaneous information, including a special tool list, a torque table, a table for periodic maintenance, and a troubleshooting guide.
Since this Shop Manual is based on the first production units of the KZ400, there may be minor discrepancies between the actual vehicle and the illustrations and text in this manual. Major changes and additions pertaining to later year units will be explained in a supplement following the appendix or by a new edition.
Places marked by an asterisk (*) indicate where improvements have been made in the text over the original edition or where the information only applies to a newer model.
