Re: ZX400N / ZZR400 PISTON RINGS
you are going to really struggle to find them OEM, you might be lucky and find that the rings from the zxr400, or another 400/600 will fit, failing that ebay sells sets of 4 conrods/pistons/rings for the zzr 400 for £50, or there is an entire cylinder block with pistons (and presumable rings) for about £50 as well, all used, but dont look in bad condition (hard to tell exactly from the photos).
what is the damage to yours? have you snapped a ring and gouged the piston liner?

actually i have found this:-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KAWASAKI-ZZR4 ... 2c62da9f4f
which might fit, price looks reasonable for brand-new parts, a set of 4 brand new OEM rings for my fzr1000 cost ~£160.
