Yes it is a 400 windshield.

Just a cheap tripod I found off amazon. Does the job fine.

Gearwrench toolkit.

I will definitely check those out. And this slip-on is just to good to beat. Toss some AIS block off plates and makes exhaust perfect.

Yeah I'm enjoying it so far. Definitely been looking at the R9 as well. May be a bike I pick up in the future to.

I 100% would. It's a perfect first bike for sure.

I made a video on them and put link in description of that video. Just head over to my page and you will see the video.

I actually had a loose clamp on one of my coolant lines. Tightened it up a little and it's been golden so far. Haven't had anything on cold starts but if I do I certainly know what it is now. Appreciate the info.

Nice. It's fun. It is a great bike for progression for sure. And for your sake hopefully not. Lol

You gonna move to the R9 next? R1 is also good end goal.

Definitely gonna have to try out the new R9's for sure. And will have to check out an R1 but idk that I will ever buy one to own though. To big and clunky.

9k otd.

Good deal 👍

I completely agree. So far I'm liking it. Does have a good bit of power for being the 2 stroke. It's been fun.

To be honest it doesn't have as much power as I thought. Coming from the 500 to this not all that different as far as power. Though the R7 is stock and the ninja is not.

@@SethmotoXyou’re right but I think that it will be really faster if you take it to a track and push it really hard, you will feel the difference. For example, I’ve seen a lot of video about person doing 0-100km/h and the ninja 500 takes often5,20 sec. But the R7 take 4 seconds to 3,5. So you just have to push it really harder believe me

No absolutely agree. I mean the R7 is definitely going to be simply faster and all that good stuff. Depending on track I feel the 500 would definitely be able to keep up though.

I put it in my video which was which.

Awesome. Your gonna love the 500 in the meantime. 6r is a sweet bike you will get there in no time.

Yeah i wasn't blown away by the look. Sounded good and was cheap was all really.

To be 100% honest I am not exactly sure if it does or not. If it did I wouldn't be surprised though.

Appreciate the support. And yeah it's a blast riding it. And it is certainly tough keeping it clean for sure. 😂

It can over time cause damage as it is messing with your fuel to air ratio hints why it backfires. The bike sounds great without taking the resonator out though as well so honestly I do see a need for taking it out in my opinion.

Not sure what you are referring to as the drum but all that was replaced was the muffler. No other settings. And it is only bad if it backfires and pops which it does not unless you take the resonator out and then it does pop a little bit even then not enough to damage anything.

@@SethmotoX I understand, thank you

Quadlock. I little more on the pricey side but certainly worth it.

@@SethmotoX thank you, I would like to purchase the same mount as yours. Quadlock CS is telling me to use the brake/clutch mount. Which is weird. Is it possible to link it or tell me which one. Is really appreciate it. I’m a new rider so it’s much appreciated 🙏🏽

Not sure to be honest with you. Haven't looked into that.

Honestly I haven't recorded a top speed on it yet. 118ish is what I'm seeing though from others.

To be completely honest I'm not exactly sure if is or not. If I had to guess probably not as it's just a cheap ebay exhaust but I could be wrong.

It'll definitely not be certified. But for the mechanical revision you can just swap to the original exhaust and you'll pass it. Then use again the non-certified slip-on - the only you risk is a fine if some police catches you

I have not tried those. I will definitely look into those. Appreciate you letting me know.

They just have a little release tab you have to push down. Might be easier to push that tab down with a scribe and pull them apart.

Are you talking about your stock grips? Like when your taking those off?

Dealerships charge a ton for sure. Be better off buying some yourself and installing them.

Definitely not shaky on freeway even over 80 (here 130kmh. I was actually surprised at how well they do even with semi trailers flying past in opposite direction. I've been riding with very high winds + rain etc (Melbourne, Aus.) and apart from being a little cold you will love the stability and handling of ninja 500 (no Oxford heated grips after 3hr labour quote)

I also haven't noticed any shake on the bike at any point. Very stable and planted to the ground.

The color is called Metallic Moondust Grey. And I all I really don't the the bike is a slip-on exhaust, high flow air filter, tinted windshield, the slim mirrors, finder eliminator kit and I had the ECU flashed. Depending on what you plan on doing with the bike whether your a casual rider or you race it or your a speed demon I would recommend atleast a full exhaust system. It just wasn't in the cards for me at the time as they can be pretty pricey.

I haven't noticed this myself yet. The first few oil changes are done at low mile increments so maybe I just haven't gotten that far yet.

1000 and 12000km are service intervals (unsure in miles). I always get my dealership to do log book service (2 yr UNLIMITED KM WARRANTY or 1 yr if you do log book service). I change oils and filters myself but for peace of mind i pay (pain with the first service bringing it in but break in always a b**ch)

I've heard same at this point as in dealership gets light off. WHY DON'T YOU GUYS USE DEALER? I LITERALLY GET*2 YEARS UNLIMITED KM KAWASAKI WARRANTY IN Australia *if dealer does first service and check

I check my reservoir regularly and mine is always full. So to be honest I haven't looked at my temperatures much when riding. When I get a chance I will take a look and see what mine sit at while riding.

@@SethmotoXI appreciate the quick response, I’ll have to take it in to get looked at then, because mines always empty, and I’ve put a full new bottle of coolant in it but no leaks or issues. but I’m worried something else might be going on. Granted it’s been super hot as of late in Florida and I have ridden the bike hard at red line speeds multiple times so idk if that combined with the heat might be making my coolant evaporate quicker if that’s possible

The cost between them was certainly close. Paid $5200 for the 500 abs but the 650s were $8900 with abs. So still a few grand cheaper. Unfortunately couldn't find any 650s anywhere near me. After exhaust and reflash and all that I still only put a few hundred into the bike. Maybe have $6k in it.

​@@SethmotoXfair enough as i understand no 650's available (I was told October by one dealer and December by another 🤬) Forget about my comments bro!, I'm super happy for you and I'm watching you upgrade a 500, thinking of copying you says it all 👍. Prices in Australia it's working out little over $2k price difference (40th 500 cost me $10312 + $1300 interstate delivery vs $13000 for the 25 650 but waiting until October November for the 650 and 500 I had the choice of pay extra or miss out on 40th ). Being honest in the fortnight since the comments i bought another x3 40th anniversary another 500 + $900 delivery, zx4rr and zx6r both from dealership 3mins away 🎉. I hope you are enjoying your life. Obviously you are a hard worker and stick to that I'm 44 and first new bike crf300l in 2021. Never give up or listen to anyones opinions unless YOU want to

Also working out conversions you pay less for the 500 but more on the 650 USD vs AUD (500's cost $10312 & 10200 with 1 year on roads and the 650 KRT $13000 Aud). I keep coming back to watch your content so well done brother

That's one way to do it. It's tough to see anything out of any mirrors you put on. You just have to pick and choose your battles.

If you hop over to my page you will see video I put out for windshield. it has link in the the description there.

@@SethmotoX the windshield on your bike and the windshield link aren't the same. The bottom Part on the Amazon is a v shape while yours is an upside down kawasaki shaped v. If that makes sense.

I see you didn't watch the video. I wasn't able to find a OEM tinted windshield for the 500s at the time. This windshield fits though.

Yes I do. You can hop over to my page and I have a full install video on it.

I can disagree with you on the 650. They were no where to be found in my area anyways. How do you like the full Akrapovic exhaust? Im gonna go ahead and get full exhaust next just haven't got around to it.

@@SethmotoX love it, no complaints. It sounds awesome, but it's not so loud that it gets annoying on long rides. In fact much over 70 and I can't hear it over the wind anyway lol.

Definitely should have had full exhaust system first. Gonna be getting one soon and having flash adjusted as well. See if it makes a change.

Check out the other video I have on the mirrors. Link in the description for where I got them as well.

Hey man you buy it for me I will gladly rock it!! 😂
