Probably not. the 400 hubs are probably smaller or something. you can compare the various components at Partzilla or maybe Kawasaki.com.

the KZ400 uses smaller axles than the 650. it might be possible to swap bearings to get them to fit the 650 axles, but the hubs are also narrower so you will need different spacers.
