You're gonna want a tank that will let you go 200 miles between fillups unless you want to spend a lot of time in gas stations. 4 stops on a standard tank one way will probably add 2 hours to your trip. However, with that said, 400 miles isn't a real long ride (easily done in a day with a return the next if you so desire) or round trip in a day if you're a glutton or just want to ride.
If you don't have it, rain gear. Make sure all your other gear is comfortable. You are going to want bags if you don't have them yet. Cell phone, maps (MC's have a tendancy to wander onto roads as yet unexplored by you so be prepared).
Take something that will go under your side stand to keep the stand from sinking into soft stuff. I keep mine on a leash so I don't forget it.
Flashlight and minimal tool kit.
Make sure your MC is in good repair. I've so far been able to plan my trips so that no maintenance requiring a garage or special tools has been needed on the road. Gas it up, check the air, make sure nothing has fallen off and ride.
