I feel ya. I’m waiting on mine here in Canada and I’ll definitely get the ECU flashed with a slip on after the break-in. Also, paying a license plate 475$ for a 400cc instead of 1800$ each year for a 636cc is a huge deal here. Specifically when you only get about 5 months of warm weather 👌
I didn’t think about the insurance difference between this and a zx6r or other 600. That’s a good point. And yeah once I’ve gotten through at least my first oil change that tune is gonna he i it’s way! Congrats on the new bike man! Thanks for watching!
Where are you in Canada? I'm in ontsrio and just got my m2 and hoping to source a zx4 myself but I never heard of yearly license plate fees? Unless your talking about insurance?
@@Theslowsquid I live in Montreal, Quebec. You gotta pay for your license plate and also insurance every year. When I had my ZX-10RR I had to pay 1850$ each year for my license plate fee and 600$ for my insurance each year… plus my bike per month.
LoL KAWK 😂 I have a ZX4RR 😅 one … the power 52 hp out of 76hp and two the sound …. I will be doing a full exhaust from Graves ❤ …. I wish they allowed the “race only” feature or allowed you to by the ECU
@@msromike123 It has nothing to do with the exhaust it has to do with how high the engine will rev and give power. In North America the power level drops off at 11,500 RPM where the rest of the world it drops off at 16,000 RPM that's due to noise regulations. In North America the power is only 54 horsepower the rest of the world gets the full 74 horsepower. However all you have to do is unlock the ECU to get the full power in North America.
I have both the ZX4RR and ZX6R - 2024 models and the 4 is way down on power but is super fun in twisties and has a much more comfortable riding position. The 6 is more than double the power but has terrible ergos for street, a very snatchy throttle and biggest flaw of all quick shift up only witch will get you in trouble when you forget that on downshift while speeding thru canyons. Also the gearing on 4 and 6 are too low and I geared both of them up so I am not reving 8,000 going 75 mph on freeway. Once I get the 4 flashed it will be ridden more than 6 for the fun factor of taking down bigger bikes in the canyons, great little bike!😎
95hp cbr650 gets no love because everyone says it's too expensive. Yet zx4rr with 55hp off the showroom floor for the same price is the new hotness, go figure. The cbr is more of a pure street bike though, it was never really intended to be a track toy.
I bought a 2023 zx6r base. It does come with kawasaki quick shifter, high/low power modes and 2 different levels of traction control along with off. It was only $10,600.. which isnt that much more...
As much as I would love an autobipper you can get it on so many more powerful bikes for the same amount of money as that bike. So not worth the price tag. MT-09 cost just as much, with low insurance cost and has the same features and more. I just can't justify that price for a bike that's not even really better than the N400 besides the added tech.
I think so. Clutch is pretty light and easy to find the trap point. seat height is low and good enough power to have fun and the when you Get bored, do a eco flash and gain 20hp.
Pssssst... from what I can tell, it's not that expensive (about $200) to get the unrestricted tune... if you're interested I could link it. It isn't an option offered by the dealer, but it's offered 😂 they also have a slightly more expensive, slightly more powerful tune (about 76 hp)
Oh yeah my dude fully aware of the tunes out there haha Still wish Kawi would offer it for free though. but Should be doing it here within the next week or so Thanks for Watching!
@@MOTOSWITHDAK I didn't because I get tired of seeing people make videos with annoying titles, and dragged out content that leads to nowhere. Just talking for the sake of talk doesn't benefit anyone or anything.
You lose 20 hp. Aka you lose max speed. I don't know if that really is a big loss when you can easily go over 100 still. If you lost torque that would be more of a problem.
Yes but getting to 100 is also slower than it should be. If you look at the dyno charts it basically flattens at 11k RPM which is about 4K short of the redline so you’re still not getting full acceleration.
@@yoh2023 I mean I can't flat foot the bike so you'd probably be able to flat foot it. id say 6 ft is still a good size for the bike. more the weight of the rider that would really effect it. im 155lbs so if you're 200 or so the performance of the bike will feel a little different.
200 buck ecu flash zx4 is 72 to 75 hp. Leaves twin in the wind. Fact is it is track ready frame and suspension wise stock. In curves with flash it will hound a zx6. Do 140 top end plenty for street and anything but track with long straighs were zx6 will rule it
Already been done. definitely something im going to do once I've gotten the thing to redline a few times and got a good feel for he stock power. then we'll compare the 2! Thanks for watching!
Don't kno why people compare the ZX4RR to the ZX6R...When the ZX4RR is the R7 killer..that's another reason they made it..bc we wanted the body of the ZX25R instead of the ugly ninja 400 & we wanted something that could kill the R7
R7 is a torque monster compared to the zx4rr. Completely different bikes that make power differently. IMO torque is king but damn 400cc inline 4 is awesome too. I like them ALL!!!!
@@Myrussell67 that’s true the twins usually always have better down low torque. And that’s definitely the right attitude! There’s so many awesome bikes to choose from, just pick one you like! Thanks for watching!

coming from another Canadian! this bike is Ideal for canada! cause the insurace here is shit expensive
get the ecu flash, full exhaust, air filter, velocity stacks and you'll have a fun bike for the streets
The tune and exhaust will be coming! Haha
Thanks for watching!

They didn't restrict the motorcycles in North America because of emissions they did it because of noise regulations, in both Canada and the USA.
So other countries don't have noise restrictions? I am not arguing, does the US model use a different exhaust as well?

It’s a great beginner bike that can grow with your skill when you want it. The price is steep 😅
Thankfully it is not de-tuned mechanically with smaller injectors or lower compression.

I hear the zx6r argument a lot. "Oh yeah, I coulda bought a bike I *didn't* want for *more* money -- gReAt ThInKiNg!".
Awesome video thank you! Makes me wish I would have waited before getting my ninja 400.
That’s actually what happened to me when I had my 300. Year later the 400 came out 😂
Thanks for watching!
ill buy it
@@TheFloridaBikeVlogger I couldn't sell it to you in good conscious for what I want for it, you wouldn't make a profit from it.
NICE VIDEO BRO JUST SUBBED!
Thanks dude! 🤙🏻
I'm waiting on an Australia delivered model and it's 80hp from the get go. I can't imagine why they would be detuning this for the US market!
Awesome man! And yeah who knows. It at least there’s a tube out there! But luckily you’ll get the full power so that’s nice!
Thanks for watching!
It's reduced to meet our emotions standards.
Epa laws on emissions easy fix flash ecu it is full power
We’re you riding in frisco tx?
Are you on rain mode
the price and it's only 16 lbs lighter then the zx6r thats my only issue nice bike if you have the cash for it then add mods more cash
Yeah, for the price I’m kinda disappointed Kawasaki didn’t make it with an aluminum frame 😒
Yes and especially w/ the updated '24 ZX6R model getting announced next month or so...
Beginner friendly you think?
I think so. Clutch is pretty light and easy to find the trap point. seat height is low and good enough power to have fun and the when you Get bored, do a eco flash and gain 20hp.
how are you not using the quickshifter!? i hope you''ve figured it out by now how to turn it on
Haha I wanted to get a good feel for the bike first. But yes I know how to turn it on 😂 it’s actually part of my next video
