All brakes should be the same save for the 89 model front brakes which are the same as all the other year rear brakes.

Do you mean all 4pot fronts should be the same? ie Fzr400's 600's and even the 1000's?

Oh sorry I was talking just the 600's.

Shugsi,
Please put you location in your profile for future referrence

The only difference I am aware of on calipers amongst 400's is the rear set up which have a different fixing hole space.

As to the springs not sure but pins are easy enough to get made.

From what I remember the 4 pots on the following bikes are the same
FZR400s (91and newer)
FZR600s(91 and newer)
FZR 750 and 1000 (87-93).

Non radial Blue, Gold, and Silver Spot calipers found on newer bikes will fit all bikes i listed above with no modifications.

Hope that helps.

I have a 92 3tj and my bike has Brembo brakes are those OEM or aftermarket?

3tj were made from 89 onwards and imported as greybikes, they were officially imported to the UK (not sure about the US but don't think so) as the 4dx from 92 onwards and are basically the same thing (unrestricted) so any 89 part or newer should be interchangeable unless you've got a 3en2 which was also made in 89 although the 3en2 has the smaller forks, not sure of the size but the 3tj's are 43mm
hope this hasn't muddied the water further

Shugs,
Most Yamaha calipers are the same, the trick is too look up on the micro fiche the part number and then put that number in the part finder and see what other models use it .
Sorry to not give you answer but at least you now know how to get it.
