Welcome to the forum n00b. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I never had a 400 but only dipstick I know of is for the counter-balance oil. I wouldn't ride it again until I was sure. I believe 40:1 is the right ratio to pre-mix. Other people have said it is.

it's for the counter-balance. put 10w30 oil in it . the pre-mix souds right to me. the oil pump might need adjusting. it's a small box looking thing on the bottom of the front motor. with 3 bolts holding the cover on. line up the lines at idle and it is set.
