well slightly different bikes but on mine you disconnect the fuel pipe and throttle cable (there's 2 on the zxr) loosen the jubilee clips holding the carbs on and pull the carbs away from the engine.Obviously you need to remove the airbox first.You may need to disconnect the coolant pipes too if you have the carb heaters.Lets see what robB comes up with.
Don't forget people there is more to the zxr400 than this forum... check out www.zxrworld.co.uk also.

i just took my tank off and there was something rattleing about inside,
i managed to get it out and its a small circular object about the size of a five pence,it has some(what looks like) silicone rubber around it as if it has been stuck on inside the tank!!! the object has some words moulded in it reading TROVAN 300 aeg,any ideas? is it a tracking device.
