I like the Small ninjas, but I wouldn’t dream of putting money into a bunch of performance mods. By the time you’re done, you’ve spent a total of what you could use to buy a 600.
@@Sayo.451 at that point you’re buying 17 yr old bike. A newer 500 plus all the mods could easily be north of 8-9k. Why chase all of that for 130mph when you can buy a 2016 zx6r and hit 130 in 4th gear?
@@captainyami4605 easily north of 8-9k?.. idk about that one. It only costs a little over 1k for the upgrades. Base 500s abs are $5600. Uhh let's just say if it did cost over 8-9k, I wouldn't even be doing it as well. Also, can a new rider just adjust properly to handling faster bikes? Hmmm.
@@Sayo.451 Yours looks newer so i assumed you bought it brand new with dealer fees etc. People have this idea that you cant learn on faster bikes, but its easy to control 600s. Nothing crazy happens until you get to 9-10k rpm. You could ride a 600 like its a 300. Much harder to do on a 1000 but its easy to ride a 600 if you aren’t a 16 yr old trying to hit 160 before you know how to corner.
Kind of pointless. My 23' n400 i sold a few months ago got me to 124mph. 180lbs. Also you need focus on shifting better, the bike shouldn't sound like that. You're destroying the clutch.
@@superduperkid3143 each to their own. Thanks for the advice! Never really knew if I was shifting good or not. Could explain why I'm starting to get clutch slips lol
@@TheJonazas I always assumed I was holding the clutch in for too long but wasn't sure since nobody ever pointed it out. Honestly thank yall for saying it lol. Now I know
@@Sayo.451 It looks like you often shift without pulling out the throttle all the way and not fully activating the clutch. No need to do it that fast. Spend like half a second longer each gear shift, so you can properly activate the clutch and release gas.
I'd say you would atleast need a long road or slight down Hill at the least. I haven't tried it enough on different roads. Hit it a few times but yknow, gotta be safe too lol
They hit 130 in kph. If you want a good insight on estimating as close as possible from kph to mph, you can divide or multiply 1.609. I actually hit a bit over 130 kph on third gear. It's a full Toce exhaust. Very loud. Had to insert db killer lol
How stupid considering this is only a 451cc engine and not a 500. I mean that's Kawasaki's fault to lie about it, but the people that buy it and think it's a 500cc and then make a few mods to call it a 5RR. Dumb.
Dayum, this comment section lowkey toxic lmao that's the life tho!

@@Sayo.451 im not knocking the 500, it was my first bike. i just dont see the point in dropping racks to make them go somewhat fast.

@@TheJonazas thanks for that. If you didn't mention that, I would've went the complete opposite. Feel free to drop anymore help tips!
Does it hit 130 easily or is that redlined? 127 is achievable stock
I'd say you would atleast need a long road or slight down Hill at the least. I haven't tried it enough on different roads. Hit it a few times but yknow, gotta be safe too lol
can confirm, 130 - 131 is probably redlined
I was able to achieve 130 on my ninja 400 with no aftermarket parts
@@gxchronicle8298 the ninja 400 runs a 41 rear teeth sprocket which helps it reach higher top speeds. However it takes a bit to get there.
@@Sayo.451and it has 2 more cylinders
I hit the 130 stock ,24 500 krt one time
Hmmm..
Watch some indian guy review ninja 500, they hit 130 in 3rd gear easily and shift a lot better.
Also, what ia this exhaust, looks pretty cool
They hit 130 in kph. If you want a good insight on estimating as close as possible from kph to mph, you can divide or multiply 1.609. I actually hit a bit over 130 kph on third gear.
It's a full Toce exhaust. Very loud. Had to insert db killer lol
Dude, you really need to learn how to shift.
@@josephrobin6852 yup. Few mentioned
@@josephrobin6852 also feel free to give helpful tips on what I'm doing wrong during shifting.

How did you predict my future. My next plan is a quick shifter and I'm calling it a zx5rr lmao
