Ciao Niccolo! Your 400 looks great, how does it run?

My parents are from Italia and I have been 3 times, love it!

What plans do you have for the bike?

I would start there - rebuild the carbs.  And check/clean the fuel tank and petcock.

There is a lot of good info here:

There has been debate about the quality of the keyster kits and the taper of the needle.  What I've begun to do is just reuse the jets and put new o-rings on them.
