Thank you for your part in making our nation strong. I just subed, liked, and hit the bell. Sounds like you will have a successful channel. Good commentary. I like your style.
Thanks for your service I am retired military, put some heavy clutch springs easy job, will fix all the clutch issues on that bike, put a cheep slip on exhaust will dump about 5+ lbs and sounds better, and let's the engine breath, K@N air filter, air filter box mod and then have the ECU Flashed and you will be very, very happy and some quality tires after you eat the stick ones up. In joy the bike.
Add on to my comment I now see Kawasaki has the 2022 now at 46hp with mods done above you could be in very high 50's to low 60's. Recommend Two Whell Dyno for your flash. Also saw some one added comfort to sit up even striaghter and take all pressure off your wrists if needed. the bar risers no issue 20 min job tops 4 bolts, with line he only cut the strap for the brake line for more room other lines no issue, which I also did to my MT09. The seat issue get so.e seat gel on ebay so vinyl you like and a staple gun and spray glue, did my MT09 and my CBR1000RR seat was a east job just take your time doing it. Ride fast ride safe.
Some very nice roads and scenery 👌 when you first set off nothing like my place in the UK 🇬🇧 I am looking for a 300cc 400cc for my first bike the Kwak is the way I'm going to go
I was a pipeline labor for 11months. I'm only 20 and I have minor back pain. The money was good but I'm glad I left when I did. I want a ninja 400 for my first bike.
I love the in detail review never been to the channel love tht u are a fellow serviceman i am active duty air force currently… as a brother one advice is dont reuse a helmet you have been in an accident with i have a saying “dont be joshin when it comes to your noggin” tht comes from when people crack a joke and say “im just joshin with ya” but good video once again enjoy the bike i am purchasing same one as well looking forward to it
I agree, but only if you actually ride the crash out with your helmet. I had a bad wreck because a car rapidly stopped in front of me, lost the use of my left arm for awhile and was bedridden for some time. When I hit the ground, my helmet made contact with the ground for a tiny fraction of a second, and only just put a small scratch on it.
It’s only a beginner bike if you’re a beginner. After 38 yrs it’s a beat everyone on the track weapon because old age and treachery should never be confused with youth and enthusiasm 🤩
I just got my 22 ninja 400 krt 2 weeks ago and it's fun to ride specially coming from a grom and even like a grom just like u showed it's difficult to find neutral. Stay safe out there man.
I just did the same. Bought a 2018 krt ninja 400 with a two brothers exhaust on it, I’m honestly shocked at how good it sounds and how fast it actually is. I know it’s slow in terms of bikes but 4 second 0-60 feels like light speed to me.
I just bought the same 2022 krt ninja 400 last weekend, put 300 miles on it already. I don't have trouble getting into neutral, but sometimes it has trouble getting back into first. So i rarely ever put it in neutral at stop lights. I have a few times and it wouldn't wanna go into first and I would start panicking because of the cars behind me. It's weird tho, when I'm just starting to ride for the day, or leaving a gas station or something, it will go into first no problem.
Pro tip, always take a right and then make a u-turn instead of waiting for a light for 5 minutes. Especially when it’s hot outside. Just be happy you don’t live in New Orleans, here I ride all winter while everyone else doesn’t because the summers are 100° and 100° humidity for 3 months straight
Love the video. What are you using for camera and mic. I have a GoPro hero 9 with a mic wired into my helmet but it’s catching so much wind I can’t even hear myself talk
@@lg71185 sweet. I’m gunna try one last thing. I plugged in the mic straight to the GoPro with a 3.5mm to usbc but it’s still taking the audio from the GoPro. I ordered the actually GoPro once so we’ll see how it goes. Love your videos man
The Ninja 400 not going into neutral while moving is a feature. Mine does the same thing and i thought something was wrong but after doing some research..its suppose to do it to help with false neutrals. While stopped, try going from 1st to 2nd gear..you cant. Its part of the same feature
Bro, could you please help a brother out? I see that you had an mt-03. I currently own a Ninja 400 krt, exatcly the same as the video. But I still find it not very confortable. I see that you owned an MT-03, but what do you mean by it being "glithcy"? I'm asking because I rode one for a few miles and for some reason felt so much better with it than with the Ninja 400, more confortable, the sound it makes is not as high pithced as the ninja. But then again, I only rode it for a few blocks. I also like to travel, like 400-500km every once in a while. Could you please exchange a few words with me since you owned both?
Maybe it's just me but the MT-03 was my first. Ike so of course I'm gonna stall out a lot. If you are looking for comfort then the MT-03 is the way to go but it's a slug. I suggest a SV650 or an MT-07 if you been riding a while.
Please please get a new helmet. Even if the shell looks fine, the EPS foam could have compacted on impact and become useless. There could be micro fractures in the helmet that you don’t see as well that compromise the integrity of the helmet. Be safe man.
If I may make a suggestion, before you pay for a Leo Vince, just get a used yoshi or akra slip on on Facebook market (just make sure it’s not fake and the logo isn’t just a sticker). I have a $1200 full exhaust on mine and it’s honestly a bit too much
I have a Z400 same as Ninja I can find neutral coming down from second got to be really gentle to find it or it will go into 1st then you have to stop and pull up and it will not go into 2nd unless you are moving.
It's bad practice to put a motorcycle in neutral when still moving, wait until a complete stop. Even then, only at a long red light, otherwise leave in 1st with clutch in. Easier for a quick get away if someone from behind is not paying attention.
Disagree on your 300cc recommendation. I would go with the Z400 even over your bike, seen both like your but those decals have to go to give a clean look. To kid like for me the Z400 is more comfort and better handling, ya you deal with wind but no big deal, drop a wind screen if a lot of highway riding. It is cleaner looking than this bike, and I think a better platform especially for a newbie riders is a better option, unless your looking for track days down the road then go with yours.
@@lg71185 cool, thanks. I bought my 400 without ABS, now trying to see if any dealer can install it.. Seems like it might be easier to sell the bike instead and get a different one. I love the 400 platform!
@@lg71185 it most certainly does, but on top of that the 400 has a lower cruising rpm because of the extra power with different ratios, so you'll get better highway mpg. If you check fuelly.com comparing r3 vs ex400, you'll see what I mean. What kind of mpg do you get? And do you use 87 octane or 91 octane?
I also got a 2022 ninja 400 in blue. Happy you are back riding. Stay safe and have fun!

Much Respect to ya brother for your service to the country.
Just bought this exact bike today as my 1st bike I can't wait for it to be delivered 🙌
got a 2023 krt, such a fun bike. Can’t wait to ride it again after 7000miles
Ninja 400 squad! Dude I love the 2022 KRT livery! I borrowed my brother’s R3 prior to buying the ninja but I feel like the ninja is more livable.
Tru dat

No it's not, all u need is a softer love tap, don't kick it like shifting a gear
@@Motoplugg that's because 0-60 in 4.0 is still faster than most sports cars lol. That little 400 will pace a 2005 corvette up to around 90-100mph.

Check the cable adjustment for clutch. Make sure you see the clutch fully engaging when depressing the clutch lever.
Hey brotha! I live in eastlake too and I’m about to pickup my ninja 400
Duuude makin me miss my Ninja 300. Maybe I will get a 400 some day!
Good job man, .........
are you supposed to put your bike in neutral when you come to a complete stop because I usually stay in first or second gear
😂😂 the way you briefly died inside when that r1 pulled up and off. You could have at least gave us a view. Stay safe....
This is your second bike? How long after your mt-03 did you get this? I bought an R3 and bought a z400 weeks later cuz the r3 just wasn’t for me
Vide muito bom!! Parabéns

You should always be in gear at a stoplight. Shouldn't be worried about finding neutral at every stoplight.
