Does anybody know where I can find a z400 shop manual online that I can look at and not buy?
By the way can someone tell me what suzuki recomends on how much oil to put in the z400 and
if it would hurt the clutch or any other part of the bike to put synthetic oil in the z?

 

Can't help you on the site for a manual.

But, running synthetic oil won't hurt your bike. I have a synthetic blend in mine and it runs fine[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

As far as how much oil:

without filter change-2000ml or 2.1 quarts

with filter change-2100 ml or 2.2 quarts

Also, don't forget to drain the oil out of the crankcase. There will be a little bit in there.

 

Why are you asking this in a yamaha forum? Not trying to be rude...

 

Good question[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I'll take care of that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I was trying to take care of that but it said error 102. Raptor350guy that accured to me the momment I hit post new topic. My only real reason I posted it in the yamaha form was its the only form I ever post in and that is still not a good reason.

 

LOL! It happens[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] No harm[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

rescuediver I noticed in your sig you have a hinson clutch on your z. Would you recomend it? Do you like it? Can you really tell a diff from the stock? This has ben on my mind and I dont know if I want 1 and by
the way I dont just putt around on mine.

 

I don't notice a difference between it and stock while riding. The difference is the way they look. All my research showed that the stock didn't move enough oil around the clutch and because of that, the z400 clutch has a short life. When I did my clutch and put in the Hinson basket, I noticed how it was designed and improved over the stock. There is no doubt in my mind[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] it is helping move more oil around, therefore, the clutch should last longer. I also wish I had added another plate to the clutch and gone with 8 instead of 7. (IIRC, that's how many I installed)

So to answer you is: Yes, I recommend the Hinson basket
