I've put about 15000 miles on my 400, I've had it for I think 2 years now and I try and ride every chance I get, and I'm still not bored with it. Every time I thought I needed more power the bike would prove to me I really didn't. the things a blast and is pretty good at wheelies even . I've only had about one issue with it, and that would be the clutch springs. The original clutch springs were a little weak and caused my clutch to slip only after about 5000 miles. It wasn't a big issue at all, though. i just upgraded the clutch spring for about $30, and the clutch was better than ever. It even gave the clutch a little stiffer feel, not much though. I'd love to add the oil Indeed, does get dark crazy fast.
@FishOnTV (Jarod Valenti) I'm a bit late to respond, but if you haven't picked yet, I would definitely recommend the 400. I can't say if the rebel is fun or not, I haven't riden one before. But I almost guarantee there is a lot more to learn on a ninja or z400 they are light reactive and very fast for a first bike. I really do think you would get bored of any other bike before you got bored of the ninja. I really do see myself owning it for as long as I'm able to. When I upgrade, I don't see myself getting rid of it.
That’s cool man, I also have 6 months on my ninja 400, but I’ve done a lot of stuff already from cosmetic to full exhaust system velocity stack an norton tuned.
Oil is supposed to go black It tells you that it's working plus you have to remember your oil in your bike not as much as your motor but also it lubricate transmission and your clutch so is doing double duty don't worry about oil turning black that means it's actually working Don't compare your car to your bike because they're two different animals
@@keithibasco3517 I'm 5'6 as well, depends on your inseam, I have kind of short inseam so just a bit of tiptoed when standing with two legs down, but flatfoot when I got 1 foot down at the red light so no worries at all
You got remember not only is the engine oil for the internals of the engine but also gearbox and clutch plates, that's why it gets dark faster. I change my oil every 5,000 Kms or earlier if I've done a couple of track days.
For sure brother at times i feel like i would be a much better rider around corners by now if my bike was used and i was pushing my limits more but im toooo scared to drop it man
Love the bike man! My fiancé and I have been really looking into these bikes recently! Honestly I’ve looked big into them a few different times now over the past 4 years 😂 but always convinced myself I don’t need it 😂. Subscribed though and will definitely be watching more of your videos tonight! 😁
i just purchased my ninja 400 2 months ago and i can say i love it i had a yam yzf 600r and after that was stolen i didnt feel whole until i got my new bike. it is so much fun and i promise once you get comfortable with the bike you and your fiance will love riding together. i have been teaching my other half now and she wants to buy one for herself now
Hey brother it means a lot!! The bike is amazing and let me tell you once you get one you will get stuck into the hobby so just be aware of that haha but man nothing compares too that freedom feeling you get once you're on it was worth getting my M2 and all for it, if you ever end up with one please update us all :D stay safe thanks for watching again
I would definitely recommend getting some rear sets I got some for mine what the handling difference, smoother shifting, no more scraping my boots mid corner
I have the Vortek rears. Lots of adjustability and they look nice as well. Get yourself the Nortons clutch kit upgrade. Makes the bike feel so much more solid. Throw in some stacks and have it tuned. Should pick up at least another 8hp which is a lot for this bike. Safe riding man.
Hey champ! Love this video, do you mind if I ask where you got your mirrors and if you can do a follow up vid of list of mods? I’m planning on buying a ninja 400 and is hoping for Inspiration.
Agreed. Though I ride a 750. I do not think I would be bored of the 400 ever. It is a fantastic bike. even if you upgrade. you keep it for your girl. she will love it too.
Thanks for the video! Iam about to get a bike and can’t decide between mt07 and the ninja400, if some had them both? Can maybe suggest, I know they are completely different, but maybe 😅
How much did you put down, and did you get gap, wheel and tire, and theft? I paid $3300 down, and $314 a month. I feel like I got screwed on the DP tbh
Yeah. I ride my bikes now the way I do because I like my bikes. I have to remind myself that I'm not a moto racer. I've had a few recks in my life and non of them were any fun. So I don't push it too much any more.
This is my 9th bike and I'm super happy with this. I would never do a 250 or 300. I just got it new and still have my paper plates on it and I have 3k miles on the bike.
If you got good credit or can get a co sign normally a new one is around 8k out door used can vary on mileage but normally ninja 400s range from 150-230 a month. I got a used one with only 500 miles on it before and was paying 180 a month and 560 for yearly insurance
Yeah it does, I actually freaked out about it first day and called the dealership thinking they sold me a lemon but they said it doesn’t have a fan or something that it only cools while driving and getting air so if your going at low speeds try to stay in low rps but yeah just try not too stop for too long it needs airflow
Brother I’m with you got a 2022 Zx6r brand new it’s very fast now I’m here like😅, thinking about buying the 400 outright as a starter bike and with the 400 I would be able to learn more off. I’m scared of dropping the 6R
I honestly just got intimidated by the weight and size and just didn’t feel the need, on the 400 i can still have a blast and get home safe you feel me :/ but i heard you can ride the zx6r in low power mode definitely try that!!
Love the video and the bike! Just curious, can you see anything out of those mirrors? I just put the same ones on my ninja 400, and maybe I just haven’t found the right position yet, but it’s pretty hard to see lol.
I appreciate it man! At first I couldn’t see a thing but the more you play around with them you’ll find the perfect spot too see a little besides u. My advice if u wanna see straight behind u is lift your hand off the bar and it shows behind u!
I'm trying to decide between the 400 or 650, I only plan to do city driving with my motorcycle, I don't plan on going over 65-70mph. I'm wondering if anyone has any input on which bike is better for city driving? Would be much appreciated
I went from a 900 CC bike to a Ninja 400. I've been riding for 12 years and still like my lightweight 400 more than a big bike. The Ninja 400 delivers a package that's hard to beat with the power and weight. It's a bike that is easy to learn on but rewards you more the more experience you get.
400 100%, it looks better it cost less and it has same power as 650 with a tune up, not sure till this day why people get the 650 and pay more for what?
@@tsharabi4 What do you exactly mean with "same power as 650 with tune-up"? You mean in terms of horsepower per weight ratio? Is the tune really that significant?
@@Baleur the tune adds about 24% more power. It goes from topping out around 115 for most to being able to go 115 in 5th. Throttle response is greatly improved aswell.
Hey brother usually just minor updates for the breaking system and so on, mainly the color schemes and design! I personally like this 2022 version the best! And welcome crazy that you’re french and my channel reached you
The oil issue is normal, a cars oil changes very quickly it's normal the oil is still good don't change it just because of the colour you will be wasting money!
It goes dark and rough after 1.5 k max, ive heard that a lot of 400 owners have that problem too, gearing feels like new after the oil change so i do it better safe than sorry like my car build blew the trans
Im a begging. I got the 400 2023 for 2 months, 500 miles and get bored to fast, Its a great bike, I learn a lot. but if you wanna catch speed more fast , is better with the 650. Now I have the 6R, im really happy with that one. Its a big big difference. if you are a begging, if you never ride before, I don’t recommend 6R.
For a beginner, I would recommend sticking with the 300/400 for at least 1-2 years. Way more forgiving and you will learn a lot faster not trying to kill yourself with the speed and bigger brakes. If you're a spirited rider, I would not recommend the 650 due to the plush suspension (I have owned both). Ask any seasoned racer/fast-rider and they will say the same. I'm happy to elaborate if anyone is interested. I have a 400 and never plan to sell it. Even in stock form, it's pretty solid.

Having a hard time making up my mind between this or a cruiser (honda rebel 500) as my first bike after i pass my MSF course later this year.
@@fishontv123 i heard the honda is more heavy so the ninja by price and power you get from it per weight can beat out the honda as the choice

That green really stands out I like it, especially the green strip on the tire
Appreciate it love the color especially in person! Might add some tire letters on too what do you think
It's the Kawasaki green 💚💚
Lol I actually own a 23 ninja 400 krt now
Beautiful bike man. Love what you did to it. 👍🏻
Thank you brother means a lot
Thanks for uploading it in HDR. Appreciate your effort of going through the process of rendering it in HDR.

Means a lot brodie! Lots more coming just saving up some money for parts
Great insight fam thanks!!! Nice bike! Ima get a normal one after watching this
Thanks for the insightful tip regards to getting a new bike! this made me think more going for 2020 or 2021 model

Of course brother, my friend has the mt07 and they sound nice but idk naked bikes are just not my taste i would get bored of it faster
How much did you put down, and did you get gap, wheel and tire, and theft? I paid $3300 down, and $314 a month. I feel like I got screwed on the DP tbh
The back wheel just looks to small for the bike. Do you know the max size possible on this bike ?
Yeah. I ride my bikes now the way I do because I like my bikes. I have to remind myself that I'm not a moto racer. I've had a few recks in my life and non of them were any fun. So I don't push it too much any more.
I pick my brand new one up this afternoon... I had the 300 then the zx10r but am now getting this as a work vehicle
Niceeee congrats!! What color did you go with? You will absolutely love it for daily driving
I've had mine for a year as of this month but I love the bike I am not tired of it
I've been considering the 650 krt and brand new because i'm not mechanically inclined when it comes to motorcycles .
that would be a sick start aswell man !
How much did you pay for the bike after everything?
This is my 9th bike and I'm super happy with this. I would never do a 250 or 300. I just got it new and still have my paper plates on it and I have 3k miles on the bike.
I found you from a comment, subbed!
Love that welcome brother!!
Beauty bike. Can you link the windshield and mirrors? Looks amazing! Ride safe.

Oil is shared with the clutch. You need to change it more often on all slipper clutches.
are the handel bars up or down
i got a ninja 250 as my first bike, so happy i didnt get something id be afraid of destroying.
Perfect first bike man ride safe
What is the exhaust on this? Sounds bold, very nice!
Thanks man, austin racing slip on for now!
Thanks for breaking down your payments. Cool looking bike!
Of course brother want people like my class to know its so affordable and possible

Yeah it does, I actually freaked out about it first day and called the dealership thinking they sold me a lemon but they said it doesn’t have a fan or something that it only cools while driving and getting air so if your going at low speeds try to stay in low rps but yeah just try not too stop for too long it needs airflow
I'm waiting for the upcoming Zx4r or Aprilla Rs660 Extrema ...not sure of which bike I want since im a beginner
I hope we get the zx4r !!!
Noticed the levers are straight. If you leaned them forward more it might be more comfy for your wrists.
Yup dark 0il.
Remember is not as a car, cause bike oil also lubricants the transmission. On most bikes that is.
The mirrors ,do they give good visibility behind?
You cant see anything behind you, but a little bit beside you

For me the bike makes me smile. Also why do you want power you can't use without losing your license. The other big factor is the extra expense. 🥷🥷
