    Don't wire your charger to the battery. Wire it to the 12 volt accessory port that is just under the left hand fairing at the front of the bike

      This right here. There are cables right under there for this purpose. Also cables in under the trunk seat that allow for usb charging in there as well.

      I bought the charger and the relay for that. This is accurate AF! I also used the extra accessories cables under the back seat to power my led underglow. Never have a battery issue because of it.

    Another essential mod would be frame sliders. Will save you money if you ever drop your bike just making a slow U-turn, prevents the fairings from being scratched. Another mod I've done for mine is the bigger double bubble windshield, makes driving on the highway a lot more comfortable. But all in all good vid, also looking to buy a QuadLock mount for my Ninja400 with the wireless charger, heard its good.

    Good video but whoever reading this please don't just "turn your head" no chance you'll be safe esp on a 400. Ur not faster then everything out there and most importantly can you see behind you at intersections and red lights to see if someone is barreling down on you not paying attention? Some one explain how you do that while also looking forward with no mirrors. They look cool don't get me wrong but it's no brainer I'd rather give myself every chance to survive the idiots out there then to look cooler.. I hate when people BEG others to buy these then follow that up by saying "they are 99% useless" your doing a disservice to riders safety man. Again they look cool and great video over all and I get it to an extent but if you value your own safety then give yourself every advantage to make sure you can get back home to those you love. For the record I just subscribed to your channel not trying to be a "hater" we get enough of those in the comments I know. I just feel strongly about this is all.

      Ohh, I don't criticize the phone users, there's so many of them that I don't need one. I'm saving me money now to buy
      a bike. Looking at Dual Sports & I've got 10-12 that I've priced & figured all the MOD's to each bike I'd want/need and
      how much the parts/labor are on all of them. This post purchase ideology is mine alone as I've not heard of anyone
      else comparing in this manner but I had time as I save money so why not learn all I can. In the event I buy used I'll
      know what's what on each model but this little 400 streetbike is one of a few that I do look at. Prices are great for
      a new one & the used market is really good as you showed here. But for me to ride this bike I'd have to slap another
      set of handlebars on her. I'm too old to sit like this to ride. I appreciate the video & I'll see you soon, I hope. peace

      I second that, those blade mirrors came with my 400 and were less than a year old. I thought they looked very cool when I first saw the bike. I only had to ride a mile in traffic to hate them. Number one they do not stay put (even after tightening them up), and number too , the magnification is way off so the car pretty far away is huge. The mirrors are small so it is critical how they are aimed and then the slightest bump moves them. They take up so much attention constantly messing with them, you loose attention with the road. They suck big time. Don't rely on just turning your head. In close quarters you will rear end someone.. Just use ninja300 mirrors if you think the stock ones are too big. Magnification is spot on and they stay put. you can fold them out of the way and when you pop them back its still adjusted correctly. Next that USB port, can be wired into a connector right behind where the socket is installed. There is an optional relay that is installed next to the flasher to power that connection when the key is on so you don't accidentally leave it on and drain your battery. You can get the relay on eBay or at any Kawasaki parts house. You can see several videos on how to install it on UA-cam. Rockmount approved! Tail tidy and LED signals. Spend the money and make sure you get bright signals. Don't compromise on brake lights and turn signals, people only have a split second to figure out what you are doing, your life depends on it . . . And if it flashes too fast just get an LED flasher (instead of splicing in resistors), it is way cleaner. i put super bright LED bulbs in the front (remove the bulb and get an LED from Auxito the same size), way brighter than stock or the ones from TST.
