Just bought a Ninja 650 2023 and installed a full system exhaust for the first time. I am a complete amateur but I am checking my work thoroughly as best as I am able. I knew about getting a dyno run and ECU flash which I have booked in but saw further advice to upgrade the air filter too. Soon as I looked into doing it myself, my heart dropped as it looked like a LOT of fairing removal etc., well beyond anything I have previously done. Your video is textbook, thank you so much. I am just going to take my time, label/bag everything as I go and take a whooooooole lot of pictures. Really appreciate your work dude.
@antoniobaak146 it was actually very simple but lots of bolts. I would recommend giving yourself a good full day and take it slow. Label / bag everything as you go and you'll be fine.
@antoniobaak146 you should have had a tool kit when you got the bike, but even if you didn't it was all standard Allen key sizes to get bolts off. Do yourself a favour aswell, use a marker pen to put a mark on the bolt (and something non permanent like tippex on the fairings) so you can tighten it back up to exactly where it was from the factory. I also used some masking tape to stick each bolt on top of where it came from so I didn't have lots of bags with bolts lying around everywhere. Worked a treat.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I bought a ninja 650 2021 but I needed to install a choke as I'm in Sweden and only have an A2 license. I needed to remove the fuel tank and airbox. Also the front left fearing which I had to figure out on my own. Keep in mind that I have absolutely no experience working on bikes or even cars. This is the first bike I've ever owned. I was so scared I was gonna ruin it but your video saved my life. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Hey- thanks bro- 2021 Ninja ex650 here- you’re a god sent. The time and effort you put into this video is amazing. Great job! Idk where you live- but if you’re ever in the DC/Nova area ~>let’s ride 🤙🏻
Sweet man glad video helped, every other video i found was for previous design or it was so short and quick so decided to make one myself and give as much details, fortunately I'm in Texas but if i ever make a trip up there will be down to ride 🤟🏻
Thank you, brother Thanks to you, I can dismantle my ninja 650 as well Ninja 650 is not a popular model in Korea, so there are not many videos I'm not a professional, but I saw you doing it pretty skillfully You're cool
Absolutely fantastic video showing how to tackle this job using the simplest range of tools ! Two points that might be of interest. Use a proper spark plug socket with rubber insert that will avoid the spark plug dropping out of the tool used and reduce the plug gap. Also use some of the money you save on servicing costs by purchasing a battery screwdriver and a cheap set of attachments. Will save a massive amount of time.
Thanks! I actually do have a spark plug socket with rubber insert and several electric screws. It was just something i wanted to do using the simplest tools for my own experience and just to show others it can be done. But absolutely thanks 👍🏻
Thanks! Once he knows the routine, taking off the plastic or taking off all the plastic can be much quicker than 2 hours! Least he's learning to do his own maintenance 👍🏻
You absolutely want to pay extra and get the vibration damper cause I had to buy a new phone the vibration off the bike messed up my front camera. Other than that it's the best the quad lock is sleek and minimal not like a big ugly object like other phone mounts
I know i wish it could have been shorter but it just worked out that way 😂 i did add a timestamp to it so people could skip through where they need to skip to
I'm following the service manual periodic maintenance i was right at 7.8k just 200 miles over the schedule for the spark plugs and besides what you see on the video i did all the usual changes needed, all except for the air filter it still had a good 4-5k miles before change but due to whoever the previous owner was it was pretty dirty so i changed it early along with what i did in video. Hope that helps, i usually try to do everything as scheduled on the service manual.
You're right Best cost effective method overall 👍🏻 i just preferred to do this just to get rid of a useless unit and give it a clean look plus make it easier on me whenever i need clear access to spark plug or anything in that area.
I appreciate this video🙏 I have a 2014 650 with the stock exhaust. Currently, I believe my bike seems to be running richer as I can smell more gas being burnt. I am planning on changing the spark plugs and air filter. Anyone have a clue as to why my bike has more of a gas smell? I’ve read that the USA versions of 2014s do not have an O2 sensor and they use a certain system to calibrate how much gas should be consumed. Any thoughts or information will help!🙏
No problem man! Glad it's useful for a lot of people. Also 2014 US models uses an open loop rather than a closed loop system, basically instead of relying on an O2 sensor to fix the air/fuel ratio it mainly relies on its system table chart based on Temp and rpm range or at least that's my understanding. With stock exhaust and OEM air filter it will have a low air high fuel ratio I would only guess when I thought they ran lean out the factory unless there was a previous owner and didn't mention any mods done to it. You would only find out if your exhaust is leaking anything or when you get around to changing the spark plugs if they look covered in a good amount of soot then it's running rich if it's just a minor amount and exhaust isn't leaking anything should be fairly normal tad rich but nothing worrying. If you're installing an aftermarket filter it could help decrease the richness but with the stock exhaust it may still not do too much I forget what effects doing what does 😅. Best of luck ride safe ✌🏻 side note the way you ride it can also affect air/fuel aggressive riding can make your bike run a bit extra rich as the ECU is literally fighting for it's dear life making calculation for every dramatic change in riding.
Awesome video. Came across it seeing what was involved in tearing it down to do the airbox & remove the restrictor screw and access the ECU. What is the AIS Valve? Is it some sort of emissions thing? Is it a power benefit in blocking it off? Also I was wondering why you closed up the airbox with those paper towels stuffed in there 😂
The AIS is just emission standard stuff no benefits in blocking it except just reduces the deccel popping and also for better readings if you take it to get Dyno tuned, and yeah i forgot to remove it 😅 ended up taking it all apart again learned my lesson to test before bolting everything back on 😂
At 40:42 when you reassemble the air box, to remove it entirely, you don't show if you pulled the towels out of the throttle body. I haven't watched past that point, but I'm assuming you either took it out between cut or later.
I show it later that i forgot to remove the towels out of the throttle body in the first place and what happens when you try to start it with the towels still on there like a dumbass i was cause i forgot to remove them 😂
@@FlashedNinja lol, that would've helped last night. I was double tapping across the screen to get to where I needed to be yesterday. Regardless, your video was super helpful. I forgot to do 3 things. I forgot to plug in the fuel sensor, the bike wouldn't start. Backtracked and figured it out. But, I also forgot to install the front harness clip on top of the airbox. Then, I have two mysterious black hex bolts... I can't figure out where they went. Also, I stopped where you went to reassemble, then installed a power commander v... it's really easy. Easier than the block off plate.
@@LiTLflor oh nice man hope it helped i might have forgotten to add in the intro to check description for useful info cause i also have a Google doc with scans from the service manual just for the parts i did, i tried uploading the entire manual but i kept getting errors or it would time out.
Did you ever have to sync your throttle bodies? I think that's something that is done by dealers for "first maintenance". I have a 2020 650, same one you have, but only 650 miles lol. Chain doesn't need adjusting yet, tires are good, I've done oil each year. Anything else I should do right now? Brake fluid?
First you should look up service manual maintenance schedule, if the bike is "new" to you and even with 650 miles it being a 2020 year model being 4-5ish years now any fluids you haven't regularly done will need to be changed out for better peace of mind. Brake fluid intervals is every 15k miles or every 2 years, coolant and hose inspect or change at about 22k miles or every 3 years mainly the fluids the hoses if they are still good should be fine can be checked back again at 22k miles, check clutch cables and Freeplay, inspect brake hoses and brake parts (manual says change every "4 years" but nothing to worry about if they are still good they don't go bad that easily unless your beating the cables or something lol),
Also for the throttle body they only inspect if they are synced at the first service, they would only do work on it if it came out of factory off sync, throttle body is faulty but other than that you won't need to worry about it until 7.6k miles
@@FlashedNinja I've kept the bike in a heated dehumidified garage always. I'd like to finish out the season with all those fluids though and leave those jobs for the winter 😅 but thank you for the reply.

Right where I put that plug at 1:14:25 mark. You basically want to block any flow between that hole to the AIS some people use an actual marble others use rubber plugs or anything similar to what I put.

How did you know where everything was at? I ride a Harley, and it's easy to see where the components are. I just bought a 22 ninja 650 for my commuter bike. I bought a full exhaust, high flow air filter, pcV and auto tune sensor, tst fender eliminator/integrated tail lights, and turn signals... Jeez lol, if it was on a Harley, I would install all that stuff easy. Not on the ninja... :-(
Oh man i don't even try to get a pcv 😂 that's a whole mess of wires to get it all installed right. Getting the ECU flashed was much easier than installing a pcv and it did take me a good time knowing where everything is, the spots in video where it skips is me consulting the service manual to figure out what the heck I'm doing 😂
No tank was about quarter empty, I basically rode it for the past few days. It is kinda heavier with a full tank, and once you start unplugging stuff off the tank the fuel won't spill out. So no need to drain but I do suggest removing the tank when quarter or less fuel in the tank for easier handling.
@FlashedNinja Thanks friend. The service manual says to "Draw the fuel out from the fuel tank with a commercially available pump" but that seemed a bit much.
@@LMoney4 yeah but on looking at multiple videos on removing the fuel tank many people seem to just take it off with fuel still in it, I was skeptical about it but seems to just work. You will at least want a small block of wood to put under to keep the main plug lifted up from touching the ground or table.
Hey FlashedNinja. Quick question what OBD 2 reader did you use. I purchased the red connector from woolich. But the reader I'm usung isn't connecting. To the bike
And for iphone i have the same brand just made specifically for iphones BAFX Products Wireless WiFi (OBDII) OBD2 Scanner & Reader - for iOS / iPhone & Android Devices www.amazon.com/dp/B078K54MT5/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_ZZKEYE9TBNM0F0DSJ0AT
I have most of all the items right in the descriptions I updated the link since it was no longer available, but I used NGK 6289 CR9EIA-9 spark plugs. If you're asking size as in physical measurements i'll try to reply later today. I no longer have this bike but I still have leftover plugs for it at home.
It's a quad lock phone mount if you have a ninja 650 the website will say this will not fit your bike but it does it just isn't a good fit and requires a little beating into to fit on it well :) also if you decide to get it i strongly recommend you also buy their vibration damper too as the bike vibes enough to mess up phone cameras.

Depending on what you have, for Android i used www.amazon.com/dp/B005NLQAHS/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_GQ6A055BB39M98BPK9MX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
And for iphone i have the same brand just made specifically for iphones BAFX Products Wireless WiFi (OBDII) OBD2 Scanner & Reader - for iOS / iPhone & Android Devices www.amazon.com/dp/B078K54MT5/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_ZZKEYE9TBNM0F0DSJ0AT
Try to use torque pro or torque pro lite if you aren't already using that app.
Thanks I will purchase it and use torque pro.
Size of the spark plugs?
I have most of all the items right in the descriptions I updated the link since it was no longer available, but I used NGK 6289 CR9EIA-9 spark plugs. If you're asking size as in physical measurements i'll try to reply later today. I no longer have this bike but I still have leftover plugs for it at home.
@@FlashedNinja alright! What is your new bike?

What mount is that?
It's a quad lock phone mount if you have a ninja 650 the website will say this will not fit your bike but it does it just isn't a good fit and requires a little beating into to fit on it well :) also if you decide to get it i strongly recommend you also buy their vibration damper too as the bike vibes enough to mess up phone cameras.
