Once again the Ninja 400 is down again...working and waiting to try to get my one good bike back up and running. Slowed down all because of one company that I will refuse to order from ever again. -Social- Instagram: @xtheycallmexgx

Yo i gotta er4n and absolutely minimal details and reviews on the internet lol 😵💫 love the bike tho ❤
I watched your channel deeply, I found that your channel is not going viral So I can help you in this regard,Hope you will reply to the message.
Although I got my M1 enforcement when I was 18, for various reasons, I never ended up getting a bike. As a lifelong stick shift driver, I still want to learn to ride, but I’m now 35. Am I too old now? Haha…
To make you feel a little better. I started riding in May 18th, of 2021. It was also When I first bought my 2021 Ninja 400 with 0 miles. I am now 36 as of July 16th. You're still good. If you want to ride, then go get that bike! My friend's parents just started riding not too long ago either. They're in their 40's. They also have no riding experience. But they wanted to ride because of their daughter and me going on adventures. Now we have "family rides".
Love it !!
If you still want to use loctite for the rotors go with the blue.... 243? Its more of a gel but it does help prevent most bolts from vibrating out of places without risking a permanent fastener lock. Small tools woll be the most you'll need
Yeah I'm definitely going to be using blue. Even the guys from the local motorcycle repair shop here was absolutely confused on why red was used. It's a maintenance part that will be replaced. Just blue and torqued to spec is all it's going to be needed.
Would this work for the Ninja 300?
Hey G if I remember right the 400 wheels are aluminum? If so find a small map gas torch and focus it on the bolt itself to prevent distorting the threads and warping the rim.
I’ll give that a shot when I get the new wheel mounted. Because that wheel is still good to use. Would like to salvage it instead of thrashing it.
Ayy bro how much did you get ur domino grip? I cant find a real domino grip and R6 tube out here in the Philippines bro it sucks!😢
I bought mine for like $20USD. The R6 grip I found on Ebay from a 2008 for like...$20USD? I can't imagine how hard it would be to find parts in the Philippines. Especially high quality brand name parts.
Ride safe brother
Bro yu got people out here in the Philippines??? Thats wassup bro!
I do. Will be actually trying to buy a bike so I can ride in the Philippines. Deciding on the Kawasaki ZX25R, Honda CBR250RR, or a Kawasaki Ninja 400. Still deciding.
@@xTHEYCALLMExGx I would recommend getting a Ninja400 so u can get on the freeway
@KingVincemoto yeah I saw that when I was there last year. 400cc minimum. But….there’s a chance I may just get a 600 or 1000 😝. But I will have multiple bikes when I’m there. Since I’ll have a house there.
This may sound dumb, but what's the difference? Clip ons vs stock
Not dumb at all. The aftermarket clip-ons will give you more adjustability and cheaper to replace. Cheaper as in, you can just replace individual components of the aftermarket clips on instead of the whole set like the stock clip-ons. If I dropped the bike and bent the stock clip-on, I would have to pay $105 for a brand new OEM. If I dropped the bike with the Woodcraft clip-ons like in the video, I just have to replace the actual bar for $11-$15.
I have a 500, brand new. I'm very, very new. Like only 20 miles new. Well yesterday I tried to blip the throttle and it almost ended in a disaster! It threw me back and almost popped a wheelie. It's a scary, but I didn't panic and saved the bike
Give it some time for the bike to break in first. It's very good that you didn't panic. Calm panic is better than full on panic. Give it little blips at a time if you're downshifting until you find the right amount to make the downshift smooth. Low speed and low gears will require more blipping than saying going from 6th to 5th from what I can tell you. But you're gonna have to go on feel with that one. You'll find it.
The major downside to an ecu reflash on a new bike is the voiding of your warranty
P r o m o s m ☀️
would it be possible to trim/sand the throttle tube instead of the housing? I'm a bit nervous about modifying OEM parts
You can try. The OEM part that you're sanding will be more preferred and it's really not that much to take off and the housing will still be 100% functional. You're only sanding enough to make sure the tube clears the housing's inner track to prevent the throttle from sticking. But if you get an earlier R6 throttle tube. You don't have to modify anything. I got the 2008 R6 tube due to being bigger in the cam and offer more benefit (meaning less effort to go full throttle). That requires modifying. I believe the 2006-2007 is the one you don't need to modify.
Where did you order the throttle tube from?
I actually looked up the part number for a 2008 R6 throttle tube. You can also order it from Norton Motorsports.
@@xTHEYCALLMExGx yes I liked it up! Messed up the first time I got the r6s then I order the right one the 2008 r6 and let me tell ya” my 400 ninja it’s more responsive I love it. Next thing I want to do is speed stacks any recommendations
@irvingacosta7853 I’m going for TST’s velocity stacks as they give more top end compared to the Norton Motorsports stacks which gives the 400 power across the powerband.
@@xTHEYCALLMExGx will I need dyno orflas after swapping the stack??
can i get my ecu flashed there to.. im still in the Philippines.. i can bring my ecu when i go back to the states
i got the same on my falcon 400cc...i hate riding in the city.. my dead spot is between 2000k and 3000k
Hello bro, good contribution, did the accelerator become somewhat hard or rough after changing?
Hey can you give use a side profile shot of your ninja 400 with the aggressive clip ons? Would love to see the ergonomics from the side; even a fly by would be super cool!
pretty coo exp. I still have not had a chance to attend this event yet going on many years now.... This is the year to do it for me... thanks for sharing.
also got barnet clutch coming in mail.. how did u determine clutch pack order
These should come pre-drilled, but thats straight lol
Great video highlighting tank grips, but riding and drinking totally don’t blend. That was my big lesson in motorcycle safety course🤔.
Thank you and yes. You are right. But I always sober up after finding a new food establishment. Always a couple cups of water and at least an hour before heading out again. Even with my insane tolerance levels…I don’t want to risk it. I rode and drank before and it was not a fun time and got an ear full from my roommate.
Hey bro idk of you remember me, but i had the 8thgen we used to talk alot. I got i to bikes and after watching your vids i ended ip getting a ninja 400!
Now I do. Didn’t recognize you. Hopefully you’ll learn and have the Ninja 400 teach you. It has a lot of lessons to teach you about turns and riding fast. Don’t let the 45hp and 110mph speed limit (GPS accurate) fool you. I outridden friends on the back roads and they are on 600s and litre bikes.
I love that red paint! Damn! Nice video 👍
Thank you!
Ive only ridden a 50cc scooter so far. But I'll add to 9:12 with train tracks; especially if they curve on a curved road.
Definitely a much different experience when riding in the rain!
New rider here (dont have a bike yet) planning on getting a 400 but i dont really like the color schemes out of factory. How did you get a red one??
The Passion Red scheme is from the 2021 year. Each manufacturer releases two or three colors for each year.
What parts did you upgrade to for the clutch?
I upgraded the friction plates, the steel plates, and the clutch springs. The factory clutch is just no good once you start getting used to your bike.
I feel like my bike is not as punchy off the line or I might just be trippin or I probably got used to the power of the bike! I dunno
@KingVincemoto the stock gearing is set for a balance of acceleration and top speed. I’ve recently done a +1 in the rear sprocket. Contemplating on making a video about it. Bike is a lot more punchy compared to stock gearing. I can power wheelie in 1st gear.
@@xTHEYCALLMExGxyou should bro!
Nice riding! Cheers from Brazil!
Thank you! Cheers from Washington state!
Looks like a super fun day/ride, have a great riding season 👍🏍️
It was fun and a rideable 65°F weather!
Yooo I live here!!! Been wanting to buy a ninja 400 for a while because I work on orcas! Thanks for the video!
Sorry for the late reply but it’s a great commuter bike and a great bike to carve up the backroads. Hope the video helped!
@@xTHEYCALLMExGx The video def helps and I plan on taking a class in the near future. I’ve been looking online but I have not seen any of the ninja 400 for sale around the area. Do you have any recommendations on where to look?
@phillyrepresenter they’re out there. It’s just that the Ninja 500 (essentially a 450cc) is taking over and replacing the 400. You can blame Euro Emissions. So if you can’t find a 400, a CF Moto 450 is the next best choice or if you want to stick with Kawasaki, you can go for the Ninja 500 or the ZX4RR.
Not looking ahead
Awesome video bro!!! Some good laughs with great info 😂
Came from reddit, keep it up :))
Thank you. Might start making videos again.
gonna get a ninja 300 this summer, rlly nervous, at a stop light can i stay in first gear and im also scared about stalling all the time
You got this. You don’t have to be in 1st gear at a stop light. I go to neutral once the vehicle behind me has come to a complete stop. You’ll stall at first, maybe a lot, depending on who you are. But you’ll get the confidence in time. Take your time and get used to the riding.
I would argue that a good set of rear sets are more important that the ECU flash tbh. Stock rear sets are set so low, if you take a corner that has positive camber you risk scraping the footpeg pin (not really sure what it's called) and it really messes with your confidence taking corners. Throttle tube mod is also another one I'm not entirely sure makes all that much of a difference (having done it myself) Another school of thought is that wider range of motion means that the rider has better input control of the bike and thus makes adding small increments of throttle easier in situations like cornering.
I own the HJC 90S Carbon for 2 years now and I love it. Great helmet for the price. Very lite too. I use to be a Shoei guy and I switched.
i would love to put this beautifull cap on my ninja 400, but there's some evil ppl that would put shi in my tank to mess my day so i can't do that rn great video tho♥
Eso no da ninguna carga aerodinámica😅😂😂
I had a 2021 MT07. I traded it in on the ZX4RR. I just love this bike so much better. When I get out on it with a full tank of gas, I don't want to stop until the gas light comes on. I've only had it for about a month and still haven't had it flashed or a different exhaust. I did get frame sliders and a radiator guard. The stock tune is ok for me because I'm never taking it to the track and it is just fine on my curvy country roads. I'll drop down a couple of gears and pass anything that I need to pass. When it gets up to 11k it kind of hits a power band like in a 2 cycle. Just love riding it around town and in the country.
loved this !!
Link to helmet gloves Bro, you laid this video down but you forgot the most important piece of information; the link to the clutch and plates! Can you drop those too?
ive been shpping around for a second bike and the z900 seems like a good option for a modern sportyish bike with ABS. dont trust myself on a gsxr 750 or r6 and z900 is cheaper and more available than a zx6r
You can get a radiator for $89.00 Help me decide on this product: TCMT Engine Radiator Cooler Cooling Fit For Kawasaki Ninja 400 EX400 2018-2023 Z400 2019-2022 Replace For 39061-0751 a.co/d/eL38feI
Road dust still leaves a streak right down the middle without a fender extender which cost another $20.00😮..
I’d take road dust over a pebble flying at 70mph straight to the radiator 😂

Hey, bud! It's been about a month into having swapped to the r6 throttle tube. Took me a couple of days to get smooth with it but definitely worth the swap. Appreciate it!
Oh right on! Definitely one of the best upgrades to get rid of that long ass throw of the stock tube!
Nice trip! My mirror bolts loosened up as well!
I hated that it happened and glad my buddy’s husband had his tools. Now I need to pack some small tools in my trips 😅
