Kawasaki.com & Partzilla have parts diagrams. partzilla is easier to use.
KZ400.com has a pdf factory service manual. not sure how much detail it will have on the fork reassembly.
Some of the links on the manual page don't work, but scroll down >> the bottom section has the individual scans from the manual.
Warning: from what others have reported: the forums there may harm your computer. But the tech pages seem to be okay.

Take a look at the link below. Regarding fork oil - I have used Bel Ray 15w Fork Oil for many years in my KZ650 and it works great. I weigh a bit more than 200 lbs. Ed

If those are the original springs, I think it would be a good idea to replace them now. Even just the weight of the bike not moving will compress them over time. Progressive, Sonic and Race Tech are the places I would check first.
