FT 400 1985 model manual please

[honda]

Hi, here in New Zealand we got both the ft500 and later on the jap market ft400. I need to strip down my ft400 motor to do at least rings, more likely a first oversize, rings, reborn and a bit of valve work. Anyone aware where I could down load a manual to do this.... Thanks

Very little is known about the FT400 on the USA side of the pond. I have only heard mention of them a few times & have only seen one picture that I can recall. The only things that I can suggest is trying your local Honda dealer, eBay, or determine if an FT500 manual will work for the most part. I would think that the FT500 & the FT400 use the same basic engine, with the FT500 having a larger bore, longer stroke, or both.

Good luck
J.
