Kawasaki Z400 Review & Testride
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 чер 2019
- This is basically the same as the ninja 400 - minus the clipons and fairings.
And it feels like it too - light, sporty, fast and exciting, a very nice "young" bike.

I've had mine now for about 9 months and I Love how easy and comfortable it is to Ride. I've been street Riding for over 20 years now
This is a Great bike for experienced or new Riders
Been riding all my life. Purchased a new z400 approximately five to six months ago. I researched for 2 years and watched many of UA-cam videos over the course trying to rebuild my credit save some money and figure out what I wanted to do. I wanted a cool commuter period and something that wasn't heavy to pick up in the event it hit the ground . I narrowed it down to a couple of motorcycles and chose the Kawasaki. After having the bike for five or six months and adding a Leo vent slip on exhaust to it, lost about 7 lb and added horsepower and it sounds pretty cool period and I only weigh 135 lb. It moves plenty well with me on it. Can't tell you how fast I've ridden it and often period and I do have aggressive days that I ride wheelies and leave fish tails. The bike is simply awesome! I would buy it again tomorrow. I have no regrets period and by the way it is not just a beginner bike.
Kawasaki Positive Neutral Finder. Easy to find neutral from 1st gear, other gears, not so much. Looks like a great bike to get started in the sport.
Yup it's almost impossible to click down from second into neutral. Really even clicking up from 1st looking for neutral is hard unless you are fully stopped. On the plus side it prevents a few accidental neutrals. On the whole, I like it more than I dislike it. Barely.
kleinbottled79 it’s even worse when you have just turned the bike on.
I'm so spoiled by the Positive Neutral Finder on my Kawi's, when I ride my other bikes I have to hunt for Neutral at every stop. I wish everyone would use that feature.
@@tneper Agreed. I tried a few Hondas and trying to find neutral was an exercise in frustration. Love this feature on my Z400.
Its a great things about Kawis actually. I always just click mine down into first, then if i need nuetral its easy, just click up. I've almost always had a Kawasaki though so im pretty used to it by now.
I am a fan of both the Z400 and Duke 390, cannot decide between them. Have a Versys 650 which I love.
I have a Z125 and it's 💯 reliable. I am 6.3 and it's big enough. I will upgrade soon to Z400. Although the Duke 390 is probably a little more fun, I will take reliability over fun any day. To many electrical problems and valve problems with the Duke 390 and KTM servicing is very expensive in UK. Z400 all day.
The riding position is 'like taking a dump in the woods' Classic 😂😂
From the moment i saw Kawasaki announce this bike, i've been sure this will be the best selling A2 (beginner bike) of 2019. A Ninja 400 in a naked version! However i thought they would change the foot peg position to a little more upright. It's a good thing that it can't enter neutral when your riding. You're not suppose to use neutral while moving. And you're Never suppose to use neutral when approaching a stop sign, traffic jam or red light.
Yep. Safer to stay in 1st while at a stop sign. If the stop is going to take a while, then you can put it in neutral and rest your clutch hand.
I agree with the headlamps. Finally Kawasaki! Great vid sir. "You're crouched over as if you are going to take a dump in the wood." epic haha.
How tall are you and your inseam?
I loved the stopped in the middle of the road rant when you did exactly the same 😂
Would love to see a Versys 400. There aren't enough lighter bikes around and I've got very fed up of my 250kg machines.
I hope they make this also.
I’d buy one tomorrow
I reckon they will soon. Now that the Versys 300 makes no sense to anyone now
If they would have done that i would not have bought a Z400. Regardless, i love the little thing, apart from the awfully bent knees that hurts after an hour or so of riding, i'm 5'11" by the way, the only part of the bike that i'm not crazy about is the gearbox. Sometimes it wont go down a gear if you try to skip one so if yo get to a stop in 3rd for wathever reason you have to play with the clutch a lot and move the bike around for it to go, sometimes it won't go down at all while slowing down so you have to let go of the clutch and start over
They should do a slimmed down Versys 400 not designed for 2 up touring but more sporty like the Tracer 700 and new Tiger Sport 660. Would kill the market.
FYI, the setting and spring rates on the chassis of the Z400 are different from the Ninja 400.
Your English is excellent and you're an amusing chap - "dump in the woods" hehe
I understand people are comparing this against 500cc in general but compared to cb300r or g310r how is it as a beginner bike? Go for this instead?
A combination of the z400 and the versys x 300 will be an AWESOME bike. z400 engine, brakes and headlights. Everything else from the versys x 300. And switchable ABS. That could be the only bike I ever need or want.
That stock exhaust sounds great though, has a good growl on it. Bike looks great as well, now I'm conflicted. This or cbr500r
cbr 500 is around 50 pounds heavier if I remember correctly with the same hp. and I also think the price will be around 1000 less on the z400
400cc was considered a big bike back in the day 👍
VersysGTRider yeah but 2 strokes
80s? 😂
After racing accident over 30 years ago,I have being off my feet and bikes(total hell)..Now after thirty + years I can ride again !! I am more than happy to ride 400cc,sure beats hell and back.
I was thinking the same thing and remember the Honda 400 four.
Too bad no full led bar lights,TFT meter and USD forks..but again the engine is superb between mid range..easily get over 105mph without hiccups
Really good review! You taught me quite a bit in general and not necessarily just the Z400!
Do you know the diameter of the handlebars❓ I want to get bar risers but I don't know the diameter, I don't have the bike yet. Thanks
How would you compare it with Yamaha MT-03? I just can't decide between those two bikes...
mt03 all day
I wouldn't trust you wit my new motorcycle
Nice review sir.. How about the throttle response in all rev range? Is it accurate and smooth?
What if the bike makes the max power allowed for A2 and comes with an easily removable skid plate that's just heavy enough to make the bike comply with the A2 power/weight ratio, would that work?
I love your interpretations Cager you make your reviews fun .Try a ktm 790 duke m8 if you want fun fun fun
Great little bike
You were right about everything except your not hunched over,... if you hunched your arms are short... cause as a sport bike. It’s very upright
any chance of getting this motor in the versys 300x . I like that or I will check out the ktm 390 adventure
Now the real question is, would you rather have the Z400, or the R3? Great video man!
Mt03 and z400 almost same prize, but z400 is more powerful with better brakes. I'd chose z400.
@@raymark9392 for me mt-03 looks better, but there is no taller seat available for taller riders, and it's small small bike
No music, great sound of motor, all sound of v is perfect, great v.
It is faster than duke 390, drag racers in india have tested it both stock, and its not just a little bit
sound like you're freezing when you're doing the video was it cold?
LMAO
Awesome demonstration sir.!!
I'm going to get me one Soon
I Love my Kawasaki
I saw one in the flesh, it looked really nice 👍🏻.
Anyone who compared this with MT03 please post your impressions on differences!
Hi Cager,
This or the cb 300r ???
, whats the difference, my length is 176
Z400
Great video!
What is better? Yamaha r3,ninja 400 or Kim duke,rc 390
KTM too unreliable, either of the Japanese bikes will be fine. n400 seems to win the moto mag shootouts. If you love how the r3 looks, you wont go wrong on it either.
Cb300r hands down
I've prepaid this bike yesterday. Happy as f**k)
The most fun bike I've ever owned. It's a rainy day, so I'm here commenting on bike porn instead of carving on the z400
Do recommend this bike over the 650 bikes like the sv650, z650, cbr650, and mt07?
No mt07 is much better..can't compare
Mt07 costs $3000 more
I have read lots recommend those as very upper level, beginner bikes, but it is always experienced riders who say that! I am thinking of starting with 400 cc as a beginner even if it is 6 months and I don't want to be a speedster here. The speed limit is fine with me.
@@borisbarrios5264 If you are truly a beginner this bike will be more than adequate especially if under 180 pounds. Excellent bike to get started on. The other bikes listed are much more expensive and much easier to get into trouble. 6 months on a Z400 and your skill will be far superior to a newbie on a 650 class bike because you will be able to more safely test your limits.
Did you like this or the z650 better?
you know if I were a new rider I wouldn't want "fun" while I'm going around a corner never mind panic. Anything that makes me question the stability of a bike is liable to make the error I'm making worse as I over/under react out of inexperience due to the Fun/panic.
Did you review the Ninja 400 also? Couldn't find it.
The Ninja 400 and this bike are nearly identical so I'd consider this the N400 review. Only night difference is the fairing and the position of the N400 is a bit sportier. Not a huge difference IMOM
What do you mean about big bike feel?
Can you review the vitpillen 401
I had this bike right at the top of my shortlist..but when you say it wobbles when you brake, that to me isn't fun. I don't want any wobbles atall. So now it's coming off the list unless I hear strong counter arguments. A good review nonetheless. Cheers.
He said when you slam the rear wheel brake at full power.So I dont think theres much to worry about,
If you smash the rear brake on any bike it will lose traction. Especially in a corner.
3:00 didn't even know that lol
Zis or bmw G310 r ?
Here's why you should never buy an ex demo motorcycle. A completely new machine with minimal mileage shot to the max by a number of anonymous drivers. Engine break-in ? What's that ?
Does this bike stall easy ? Or is it set up to where its easy to take off bc the clutch assist?

Fuck I miss those Portuguese roads.
the best z400 review
Here is my brand new Z400 after I installed a new Leo Vince pipe.... ua-cam.com/video/goynkogKxi0/v-deo.html
You sound like Christopher walken in balls of fury
At the start, your shadow was right in the middle of the bike, then you rode off pointing right into the sun. Well done! We can' see much...!
would you consider test f750gs?
I thought it was funny that you keep saying that it was great for a young guy and he can do this or that. I think it's for a young girl also. Check out this kid that just got a 400. instagram.com/kayla_yaakov/
👍
I just wonder why nobody mention the clutch slipping in this thing!?!?!?
This is a serious issue that Kawasaki should address it ASAP
@Twilight 8368 I know what slipper clutch is!!
But slipper clutch works in downshifting not upshifting!
In Kawasaki clutch slips when upshifting and that's an issue!
At least I don't need an explanation why you crashed the 300. I just thought, what if... what if this older lady steps out of the house into the street?
I like speeding. Speeding is a part of a sport bike. But speeding should be done with a brain.
Sorry - I know you don't like my comment.
when the abs breaks it will be the perfect ride but you did catch my interest
I don't like the sound of this bike. It sounds tinny.
I want it, maybe even need it, cheaper than seeing psychiatrist lol
Ride cbr 500 2019
👍👍👍😊
6:43 cyclist doing mach 60.
omg why even review less than a 500. You change gears 100 times in a few seconds and do that all the time ...........................yawn.
Not true
