robvangulik:
M5 is correct for the 400 too :D

Athame57:
Talk about carbs...is there an EASY way of getting them back into the Airbox inlets? I've bought new ones but the job is still awkward enough to make me scream!

robvangulik:
I always put the airbox on the carbs when they are off the bike, and then slide the assembly in the frame from the right side. In my eyes the only way to make sure the air inlet is as smooth as possible on all four carbs.

Bryanj:
The absolute easiest way to get them in is before bolting the engine up so you can tilt it forward------but that only works on a full strip/ restore.

blackeagles:
there is not a lot of room but i found putting the carbs on first then the overflow pipes in place then a light oil of the air manifold rubbers and it goes on - all from the right.

if the air manifold box is a bit distorted (i.e pushed away from the arbs) then its ever harder but taking the air filter and tunnel out and pushing a small piece of wood throu. the hole into the manifold to push the rubber onto the carb works.
