Not sure. Ive got a mechanic that does my work. All I can change is brake pads.
He did say that he used a paint brush around the carb rubbers that had some fule on it. That stopped the bike sucking air in through the perrished rubbers and it idled ok. Thats how he knew it was the rubbers.
good luck, Im sure someone can tell you where they are and how to replace them.

get some carb cleaner and spray it around the carb inlet rubbers (wd40 will probably do the trick too?) whilst the engine is running, if the bike revs start rising then there is a leak somewhere, could well be perished rubbers, check all jubliee clamps are tight.
Don't forget people there is more to the zxr400 than this forum... check out www.zxrworld.co.uk also.

In this pic they are the four black rubber bits that the carbs sit on. They look wet in this picture also
