  • Bought this bike with 16k miles on it. It has never had it's air filter or spark plugs changed. This is my first time taking apart the bike aside from the slip on exhaust. I also installed some LED turn signals at the end because the stock ones were dim during the day.

    I'm at 11,300 for the mileage of my 2019 400 Ninja...I'll be doing the air filter and plugs at 12,000...I always clean the chain when dirty and respray the chain at 400 and I check the slack in the chain too...so far the bike is a terrific 'Rocketeer'...and thanks for your video, because it all looks pretty easy to do the filter and plugs. ninja on. PS: it's always good to disconnect the battery when doing any service that may require using metal tools in tight places.

    careful with those aluminum cased relay not to make contact with any metal in the bike. I once used those and it kept frying my fuses and stalled my scooter. Solution: wrap it with electrical tape

    Is measuring the spark plug pressure with the torque wrench even needed or is it important?

    Could've just washed the air filter, wait for it dry up and put new sealant spray on it.

    • @kevinnguyen7589
      @kevinnguyen7589  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Are you asking about the one at 1:44? I remember that one gave me a super hard time but I believe there was a release clip on the gas tank side that you press and then you pull out the plug. It wasn't an easy plug so take your time

    Do you fully drain your tank before removing or let the negative pressure keep the fuel in?

      Theres a check valve that keeps the fuel in. You may get a few drips but that’s it. Good luck!!
