- 2023 ZX4RR full unlock test an epic battle with another ZX4RR
on the newly paved Laguna Seca track. The surface is much grippier with much greater mechanical traction and friction. Was running Pirelli SC3 tires in 160/60-17 Rear and SC3 120/70-17 Front. 33psi Front, 25 psi rear. Tires handled, gripped and wore amazing!
Tires warmers set to 75C.
Gearing: Stock, needs to lower gearing. Next change. 13T/46T
Vcyclenut ECU reflash and Yosh-replica header and Graves Ti slip-on rear canister.
Suspension: front stock with full preload. Shock stock but dialed near firm on C & R.
Zero Gravity Corsa windscreen.
NEXT: Need rearsets for more corning clearance. You can hear my boots scraping at the corkscrew
Big Thanks to Corey Neuer for the incredible session!
Helpful to get a handle on the track, decent track, lines, etc. 
Shot with GoPro 11 Black. 5.0 hyper smooth. Looks fantastic and makes everything look so slow.
Thanks for watching.
Apologies for the lack of editing.

ZX4RR sounds so good. I could listen to that howl all day.
Wow, the famous Cork Screw Laguna Seca circuit, I still remember the exciting memories of 2008 Rossi vs Stoner
nothing like a Kawa 4 cylinder scream, I LOVE THAT SOUND!
The 4 Cyl gives you the same sound as bigger bike but without risking your life !
On a 1000cc young stupid bikers purchase the sound at high RPM untill they found themselvs at 200 km/h ! But with the 4 Cyl you can hear that sound at only 100 km/h 😎So its safer

His speedometer is set in MPH too so that 400 really books around the track, he'd be beating up on a lot of sports cars at this pace. Even slow bikes are fast. I couldn't get this sound out of my Cbr954, revs out at 12k and even in 1st gear that's like 150kph (90 mph). It's honestly too fast for anyone that's not a motoGP racer to really use to its full potential. I wish I had room for one of these. They're gonna be highly sought after for years.
Good to see you preserving that 954 . It has now 22 years old . Here in Morocco they dont let importation of more than 5yo cars and motocycles . So its sad we cant have 90s motocycles anymore . All i see around me is Z Z Z Z kawa ....
@@alhassanait1749How could you watch this footage and assume he was going 100km/h? He was clearly going fast.
I was talking about normal riding not circuit @@alanwatts8239
I've only ridden the ZX25R before and it's such a pleasant experience. The 20K redline means going through city streets sounding like a whole MotoGP bike all under the speed limit. Looking forward to test riding the ZX4RR though I'd have to wait since it's relatively rare in Indonesia, unlike the ZX25 which locally manufactured.
Udah dibuka limiternya?kok sampe 20 ribu
@@thierryud sedikit memberi bumbu ke cerita
Fique feliz pela zx25 amigo, aqui no Brasil só temos a ninja 250r 2 cilindros :😢 mas agora vamos ter essa máquina aqui também , estou ansioso para comprar a minha😂
Not gonna lie, I was sad when I looked at my 19 zx6 and saw they had same RPM range on the ZX4RR.. I was really hoping for more like 16-18 like the Zx25... but I guess the ZX25R gets to be special.
gimana bro sudah dicoba? zx25 apa zx4 yg lebih asik wkwkw
Well ridden bruv.... Nice to something small and 2T esque being brilliantly wringed. Awesome
Glad you enjoyed it. It was my pleasure!
Nice riding! Definately a fun bike for the twisties 👍😎
Id rather be on that than an R1 bruv. All the average talent could cope with...
What a noise
This is awesome. I can put this on some headphones and get to work! Love that sound! Like music to my ears!
Creepy people do that
I've raced this track so much in Ride 4 it's become one of my favorite tracks.
Looks like a fantastic track bike
As a new owner of a ZX4RR, with aspirations of track days- this is refreshing to see.
Now that looks like a lot of fun.
Love the high revving sound of an inline 4 cylinder.
Thinking about picking up a 2024 ZX-4RR in the spring as my first sport bike.
Ridden dualsports for years.
Super fun bike. If your only Sportbike I might opt for the ZX6R, but I wanted the small bike option as I already have a large-bore Sportbike. You cant go wrong.
@@williamonthewestside my friend if I got a ZX-6R or 10r I'd probably end up either killing myself or losing my license.
That's the beauty of the ZX-4RR, small enough to go through the gears on the street without massively breaking the law.
You know the old saying, it's more fun riding a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.
That's my philosophy with Cars too.
I picked the 4rr a few days ago as my 1st sport after owning z400 and mt03 can’t wait to ride it.
@@dougmaverick3287 4RR has plenty of performance to off yourself if you don't respect it. That is a misnomer for bikes: that power levels automatically mean too dangerous or low power is safer.
@@sburns2421
I know, but let's get real, the ZX-6R and ZX-10R are in a different league of performance.
I believe they can hit 100 mph in first gear.
That is crazy speed.
Enjoy.
Awesome!
Wow i love it sounds great!! Reminds me of 90's sport bikes , i want one 🫰
So glad they made this bike
Maravilhosa visão da pista. Show de som deste escapamento!💯
Bravo pilot,bravo Kawasaki!
fantastic mate
Great video 🔥
funny to me........just from the pit road entrance i was "OH Laguna seca"........old school playstation 2 guy
I thought the same thing 😂😂 just a few days ago I was playing gran turismo 4 on my ps2
This came up in my recommendation
usually I never comment but i thought of doing so. Nice Video mate Love how you get to play around with that zx4rr I never had the chance now but hopefully soon hehe. Keep it up!
It really is a great bike for the track. A bit faster then the Ninja 300/400, R3, RC390 group but not so crazy fast as the big bikes and easier on tires. Needs to always be on the boil, can’t be lazy. Thanks!
@williamonthewestside it wouldn't take much to make the 400 that fast
DUDE! You get to rip Lafuna. Livin large brother!
Oh yes - she's a screamer ❤🎉 it will be my new Ringtone 😂
Awesome bike....and Nice toch man
You really stepped it up at the end. You guys are so lucky to have access to a track like this.
Absolutely fortunate. Thanks for watching!
Laguna Seca is such an awesome track
The ZX4RR W/ Graves ECU kit / airfilter and pipe is very 😎 cool!
how much power?
IM SOO jealous of this entire bike and Run
It really was a great run. Lots of modifications and looking forward to this upcoming season. Hope to share a lot more video and reports. Thanks
Looks like a video game, this is crazy
The paradise...
Great riding!!! The zx4rr is definitely a fun bike :-) Over priced, but a fun bike
I feel if it was 1000-2000 less or had 100hp either or we’d have a fair deal but I do get the whole 400cc rev the max out of it and just go flat out

Nice bike 🏍 👍 👌 👏 ❤❤❤❤❤
Weird how this stuff works, never never been to laguna Seca in my entire life. but the 1st second this video starts you know its Laguna. Legendary track..
It really is a special track.
Smart guy on the track instead of freeway
Stoked to get one of these next month. I race two super sport 636s and wanna dial back a bit to work on corner entry speed. I like what these can do with Full exhaust, intake, tune and suspension!
Based on your experience, I think you will love it. All the excitement and energy of the 636 with less of the speed velocity and risk.
What a sound omg great video liked and subscribed 👍
Great vid from Laguna! Going to look at the 40th Anniv zx6 today! Can I please ask: your cam footage is gorgeous, do you have horizon lock on there?? Thanks!
Good question. I’m new to videos. It’s seems to have some horizon lock. The 40th anniversary models look amazing. With a slip-on and a ECU reflash, will be a track weapon
I would LOVE to know what camera and setup this is. It looks like the MotoGP game! I LOVE it!
Hero 11 Black mounted on front of the tank with various Ram mounts. I hope to up my camera game and additional locations. Thanks
You’re riding this like a twin. Keep the revs up and carry the speed through
This was only my second Trackday on the ZX4RR, slowly getting the hang of it. A few more tricks planned to get the most out of the bike, for next season 2024.
Fair! I could tell you know how to handle a bike well. It was just like watching me ride 4 cylinders for the first time again, and if no-one told me, I probably would still ride like that.
That's cute
cool
E incredibile come un 400 sta attaccato al culo di 600 e 1000 fantastica Kawa 🖤💚
El sonido lo único bueno,porque q lenta esa motico 😂😂😂😂😂😊
Nice to see pocket rockets back
Totally agree. Brings excitement back to the track. You dont always need 200HP to have fun.
Dangerous with different skills on track at one time.
👍😊
jeez ull blow it up
@15:30 Ahhh leguna Seca. I slammed into that wall @15:30 everytime on gran turismo 2,
I had done the same on GT. But in real time. it's all about slowing in time to make the first transition for the corner into the corkscrew.
Usually can’t stand circuit vids for the lame music dubbed in - thx for leaving real/ original audio
would you recommend this or a yamaha r3 as a first bike? Im scared that the parrarel twin engines get boring fast :/
I think it depends what you’re using for. If it’s purely a first bike and on the street, I would definitely go for a parallel twin. More torque much easier to use the 399 cc in line 4 needs a lot of RPMs to get moving well. On the race track it has the advantage with all the extra RPMs up top.
Again, if it’s a first bike and you want it to be a sport bike I would probably do the ninja 400. I love the RC 390 or that new SM Moto 450 parallel twin or now with the new Aprilia 457 in the category that would be my first choice.
Of course on the street I wouldn’t pick a Sportbike. I think the new try 400 would be incredible.
You shouldn't worry about power as a first bike. Proper skills and technique will take you further. Nothing worse than a newbie who buys into gotta have the biggest n baddest bike. Who ends up afraid of it and doesn't learn the proper skills. Bikes should be like a stepping stone you graduate up to. I've seen it before multiple times. Don't be that guy there's much more to it then just going fast. An R3 or the standard ninja 400. Will teach you plenty. There's a lil unknown secret riding a small bike fast is much more fun than ridding a big bike slow.
Most of the guys I've ran into on 600's n 1000's can't ever use. Take advantage of a quarter of the Bikes potential. Start off right not the wrong way. From someone who's been riding bikes for 40 years.
for a first bike I would go with an Ninja 650
Now that they've announced the Ninja 500, I would get that bike. It's only about 9 lbs heavier than the NInja 400, but has more torque and power at a lower rev range too.
I got the Ninja 400 as my first sportbike before upgrading to a ZX4-RR, and I can say that there are a lot of lessons you need to learn on a lighter and less expensive bike. You are going to drop and crash the bike, it's inevitable if you want to ride it for fun, so better learn the basics on a cheaper one.
Twins are the way to go bro, they're always fun with the torque
400cc four The best bikes to race with for normal people and for street use too
i get catchy eyes
I don’t know what that means but I hope it’s a good thing 😉
What tires were you running brother?
Pirelli Super Corsa Sc3 front and rear. 120/70-17 Front and 160/60-17 Rear. On tire warmers set to 75c
All revs and no go .
For sure as it’s only a 70 hp bike. But the new GoPro with the hyper smoothing tends to really skew the experience. Everything seems too smooth too slow too flat. The reality was pretty exciting.
As cool as this bike sounds, it would be so boring in a big track like COTA. I’ll stick with a 600 for the same price
No local California track is like COTA, but if your going to hit that track need to be on a 1000cc or bigger. Hence the RSV4 8^)
I thought inline 4 has minimal vibration... Why is the bike vibrating like that?
Actually very smooth. It’s the mounting of the camera.
the twins cup guys on rs660's and r7's are running 1:30.5's -rocco landers who took first in race 1 topped out at 129mph i feel like the zx4 could def hold its own against those bikes
I completely agree. I think if you had a fully raced, prepped ZX four RR, it would be quite competitive against the twins cup class. The twins would have a slight advantage in total horsepower. But the ease of use and smoothness of that small small four-cylinder is quite impressive. I’ll be looking to try. The changes made during the off-season and see if I could get a couple of our local pro riders to test it. Then will be able to take advantage of the stickier Pirelli Super Corsa SC1 & SC2s.
The corner and clearance with the stock foot pegs were the limitation. That is now been solved.
Why were you running 33 psi in the front and 25 psi in the rear?
That’s the optimal psi for the track, hot.
@@williamonthewestside I did not know that, I usually run 28 front 32 rear on my ninja 250 for street. Thanks for the info!
I think a bit low on the front. Tire could fold and not give you enough support. Bump up to 32psi front.
your tires on your 250 are so small, they dont need that low of a PSI for street unless you're carving, even then.. you should be doing 32 rear 30. otherwise you're just wasting the life of the tire
@JkennGG the track is not the street, don't use track pressures on the street
Epic battle? How did that smoke taste xD
Any issues with the noise regulations?
Fortunately not. I thought it was so darn loud. I would pop the sound but it was 103 dB sound day. I was being self-conscious early and then towards the end of the day never triggered so I could give it the full beans.
Took a long time to find high rpms?
It did. Also I only had 200 miles on the motor was trying to take it easier first but once the red mist came up, it was every RPM I could manage.
They don’t seem to be bringing the zx4rr into SA 😢😢😢
Are in kmh or mph?
MPH
Lap times?
Was doing about a 1:44 or 1:45. Track was cooling, plus cornering clearance was a bit of a limitation, as I still had about an eighth of an inch of tire left. But the brake and shift levers were ground to 45°. Just fitted new rear set that should give a couple more degrees of lean angle. Hoping to knock off a couple more seconds. The session before on my 2021 Aprilia RSV4 1100 I hit a PR of 137.3
is that mph reading?
Yes it is.
Your camera is melting my brain. It's attached to the bike but it's also moving independantly of it? Sometimes it leans into the corners before the bike does. Wtf is happeneing in this video i cant focus on anything else 🤣
It must have to do with the stabilization mode of the GoPro?
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😎🤙
Exhaust sound amazing😮 Aktapovic? And models?
Thanks! Graves Ti Slip-on with a stainless full Yosh replica header.
How much horsepower do you have?
I have not dynoed but based on others with same level of tune about 75Hp at the wheel.
the ZX4RR has Quick DOWN??
Yes it does. It has quick shifting up and down with blip option. Actually quite good. It makes for much more efficient laps.
@williamonthewestside I turned off the KQS on my 19 ZX6 after like 2500mi it was clunky and slow IMO. Blip shifting felt more direct and such. But that blip down would be neat.
@@NinjaInTheFirstDegree you can see one of the other videos I posted I accidentally turned the quick shifter off. My laptops were awful. Couldn’t get in sync transitioning gears was slipping the clutch too much. Bikes are definitely designed to have the quick shifter active.
Was that a KTM 690 smc R that ripped by you?
1290 SuperDuke, piloted by one of the top AFM pros. I put up a much better challenge when back on my RSV4. See my other video of that day.
JAJAJAJAJ NO MAAAAA, CON SUS CAMBIOS.🤭🤭🤭🤭
I think i can beat this bike on track with Renault Clio 1. What a race capacity.
😂
Stock tires?
I’m running Pirelli Super Corsa SC3 DOT race tires. With tire warmers. Quite a bit gripper then stock.
@@williamonthewestside ok cool i was looking into the Michelin road 6 but definitely check yours out these stock tires not that great
@@Ninjazx4RR187 If for Street with Sporty riding, Pirelli Diabilo Rosso 4 Corsa www.pirelli.com/tires/en-us/motorcycle/catalog/product/diablo-rosso-iv-corsa or Metzler M9RR www.metzeler.com/en-us/catalog/product/sportec-m9-rr
@@williamonthewestside perfect yea it’s for street the stock ones slipped on me in a hot 90degree day and I drove for about 30min but it stabilized I saved it
@@Ninjazx4RR187 Give those two tires I sugest a try for maximum street grip. Other love the Q5 too, but I'm a Pirelli/Metzeler guy. Cheers.
You need more rebound damping.
Agreed. It’s not bad but as the speeds build needs more tuning for the track. Fork cartridges and revalving/spring for shock
Speed :0
Sound :9999999999999999
you take an odd line thru 1, (seca) seems you slow it down and lose momentum, little bike? I pen that corner up the size of baseball field, the kink dumps you far right you take time and momentum moveing tight left right at the entry to 1 slows it way down to negotiate turn, no drive . . open that turn up big as ya please and cut it right in half as in round it in the middle of the tarmac, don't clip the apex, stay centered in the road all the way round a nice big fast turn nice fast smooth line right down the middle, when you clip it tight you have to slow too much, lose drive, stand the bike up still hanging off and pin it
I think you are right. Turn one is one of my challenges. I need to stay farther to the right so I can keep the throttle open longer and keep more momentum into turn too.
More noise than horsepower. You spend more time changing gears than seeing the speedo move.
Kinda of like a Harley 🤣
@@williamonthewestside yeah, same Club.
One of the highlights of this bike is that it does not allow you to be lazy. You have to use all the gears all the time which makes you much better rider. After I hop off this bike onto my large Aprilia RSV4 my pace picks up substantially.
Epic? When and where in video? Did I miss something?
🤣
mph? kmh?

Trade you for your bike. I aint got much, but I can make a wicked good grilled cheese!
It's prob the last inline-4 400cc engine. Better than all those other weak ass parallel twin crap.
Cost you more than twice as much I'd buy a 636 at that point
@@eddiestone4528 Yeah I know. Just saying. Between a parallel twin 400 and an IL4 400, this one is better.
Personally I prefer literbikes. Have had several since 2004. Nothing beats the fxxk me factor of a 4 cyl machine, be it an IL4 or V4.
Man that thing is slow! But fun I'm sure in the corners!! Great track!
Three years later - what's the fuss about this bike 🥱😴
Hate watching the out lap. Feel like the guy from Ace Ventura, Laces Out! Or in this instance Cold Tyres, Cold Tyres, Cold Tyres
I am 5 7 130lb soaking wet this bike was build for me
I went in at about 180 pounds a bit over 200 pounds fully kitted for the track. Your 70 pound weight advantage would be very useful.
@@williamonthewestside yes I have been hated for my size when on a bike
...WHAT A LOVELY "TOY"!!!...😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰
Dog I don’t know if I’m the only person would realize this but I’m pretty sure your top speed was 115 mph or at least that’s what you’re gay said and also is it only a four-speed transmission in these bikes why can you not shift up from fourth, my bike in the garage is a six
He shifted up into 5th on the straight into the 120mph range. It’s a 6 speed transmission he just wasn’t pushing it that hard so he never got it out of 5th
Pense num pilotin ruim! Pqp!
I could not figure in which language to translate. Would love to know what that means in English.
@@williamonthewestside Forgive me, man but i thought this bike didn´t let you run like a professional!
You let down some times on the first gear inside the turn!
I think the bike can push you on the floor like this!
Falta piloto, tarda demasiado en hacer los cambios, sobre revoluciona el motor, baja mal los cambios para frenar, traza mal las curvas. Tal vez es principiante y no sabe que su moto tiene sexta
Ouch
That shit is so weak.
19:04 i heard that lol
as if full exhaust will make difference on your childish 400 🤡🤣
You would be surprised. It really did. The bike I’m battling with has the same set up but only a slip on and I’m a little bit heavier. And my bike still has more power to slightly pull on the straights.
So why are you watching for then 🤡🙄
It’s more about getting to a sub-400lb curb weight.
