    The Hotbodies levers for the Ninja 400 are made of high aircraft grade 6061 aluminum for added strength and reliability. The 6 position clicker allows for quick on the fly position adjustments with a roller cam assembly that allows the rider to fine tune the feel of the clutch and to compensate for brake fade. The fold away lever is an added feature for safety and reduces damage in the event of a crash. The folding hinge offers excellent rider feel and response with a carefully crafted assembly.

    Thank you so much for these videos! I know this is regarded as a simple easy job but as a person new to motorcycles, I really don't want to mess up something so important. I'm really glad that you explain each step so carefully.

    Hey! Quick question about the Driven Grips. I've seen them installed on the ninja before and it seems they are too short to flush up well with the bar ends and the switch box. They always seem to show some of the white throttle plastic underneath. I was wondering how you got them on there so perfectly in a way where it looks natural instead of something that was slapped on after market. Hoping for a quick reply and thanks in advance, Brian!

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I installed them the same way I would on any other bike, nothing special. That said you do need to make sure the grip is not all stretched out and distorted when you install it. Odds are what you saw was a mis-installed grip that was all stretched out. - Van

    Just installed these on my 2021 400 and they look amazing! Am I suppose to be able to pull the clutch lever in to the point where they hit the grip? I can't remember if my oem ones did

    Hi Brian, Been looking for shorty levers for my kawasaki ninja 650. I almost got into crash when installing the cheap MZS short levers. My front brakes got malfunction while driving in the highway. Good thing i managed to pullover without falling over on my motorcycle. Had to put the stock back. Does any of you guys have any issue with hotbodies levers. Thanks in advance.

    How much should the free clutch distance be adjusted to suit the Ninja400?

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is a rider preference kind of thing. Very important you make sure there is enough slack that the clutch is 100% engaged. - Van

    Hey, I have some MZS Levers. Ive had them for about 8K miles and no issues so far. Anyway, I just had a some new brake lines installed on my bike and my mechanic was saying that the brake lever was pushing the piston a little bit. Not to the point where it clicks but it kinda presses the piston. Ive ridden a 8K miles on it no issues at all. Have you had this happen at all with Max's Ninja 400 at all? If so is it bad? I put my bike up on the stand and moved the wheel to see if the brakes were engaged, but nothing. Just the basic sound of the pads hitting the rotors when moving your bike around or something. (I ride a 2023 Z400 BTW)

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The Ninja 400 uses an axial master which we have not seen issues with locking up. That said I am not there to see this in person so if you feel the brakes are not dragging you need to be the one to make the call. Personally I would not install these levers on any bike. - Van

    I NEEE HELP!!! i broke the little plastic gray piece sticking out behind my clutch i guess the clutch switch.. on my kwai 400. what is the switch for? do i need to order another switch housing? what is the part called to replace the broken switch?

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You need a new clutch switch. Very common OEM part that should be pretty easy to source and cheap. - Van

    Hey Brian, I was installing these levers, and I did a bonehead move and broke the clutch switch. Would you happen to know where I could get another? What could happen if I don't replace it? I can still shift into 1st, but the lever is really loose.

    • @sportbiketrackgear
      @sportbiketrackgear  ปีที่แล้ว

      The clutch switch is not used to tension the clutch lever. You need to adjust the clutch cable to manage this. Make sure to set this so that it is not too tight and holds pressure on the clutch springs. This will cause the clutch to slip and fail. To replace the clutch switch you need to order this from a local dealer. Should be pretty cheap. - Van

      wd40 will do, but maybe you need lube that frequently.
      just a simple general rule: lube oil for high speed/light load, lube grease for low speed/heavy load.

      or you can buy some lithium or silicone spray grease,they're easy to apply and less likely to make a mess, like this →www.wd40.com/products/white-lithium-grease/
