Have your battery tested or first clean the terminals and cables. Check the ground cables, not just the one on the battery but frm engine to body etc etc.

WILL THE CDI UNIT OF A YAMAHA XZ550 WORK ON A YAMAHA XZ 400

The XZ400 and 550 have very similar ignitors. They are interchangeable.
They have same wiring, same advance, but the XZ400's TID-12-09 will rev out to 10,500RPM before the limiter kicks in. 10,000RPM on the TID 12-06

What is the sparkplug gap for a yamaha xz 400 motorcycle

I tried to find a manual on this motor and it proved hard to do without paying for one. A few of the bigger models like the xz 550 they recommended .035" I would try the gap and run the engine up to a high rpm. If the engine starts to cut out a little or not run very smoothly then try increasing the gap to .040" and test again.
