Always great to watch your videos....you have been invaluable with my Ninja 400 build! Keep up the great work!
Happy to help out and thank you for watching! - Van
I just found your channel and thank you for your honest opinions l. As a new rider it can seem overwhelming but I feel more confident and a lot safer from watching your videos !
You are welcome, happy to help out. - Van
looked for you yesterday at Barber-- saw your crew and rig. I enjoy your vids and your products. Thumbs up
Max Van and I were there. We were both riding in the Advanced sessions so perhaps we were on track when you stopped by. I am sure we will be there again at some point this year. That is my #1 favorite track. - Van
Bryan Van, You're absolutely one of the most knowledgeable bike mechanics I've ever seen in my entire life. I bet you are a beast on the track as well. Haven't had the pleasure to see you or max on the track yet, but I bet its entertaining.
Thank you for watching and the kind words. I get around on the track alright, to be fair Max is now a better rider than the old man. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear max being a better rider is a further testament to your knowledge and ability to coach/teach. Plus, racing is in the blood lol.
Love your videos, I just got a used ninja 400 and I want to change out the spark plugs and do a valve check on it soon. I saw your r3 spark plug video and assume it's pretty similar. Do you plan on doing a video on valve checks and time?
No I just send the motors out to be done when we get to that point. IMO you do not really need to dig into the valves unless you have a ton of miles on the bike. - Van
Congrats on the #97 performance at Road America in the MotoAmerica Twins Cup!
Rocco did a great job for sure. - Van
Great video. Barber is a fun track. I had a guy that was going too fast into a turn trying to pass me on the inside and hit me. I had a low slide and the guy that hit me stayed up, LoL.
Questions, you mentioned yesterday that you bought your son a new race suit and boots. Can you share what those were?
We put Max in the Alpinestars GP Tech V3 Suit, Astars Tech Air Race Vest, Shoei X-14 Helmet, Astars GP Pro R3 Gloves and Astars Supertech R Boots. He has now crashed 3 times racing this year (one he was taken out) and all of it has held up well. The suit still looks great, we did have to replace the helmet due to damage. - Van
Hey guys, love the video. I have a 2018 Ninja 400. I want to start racing. I took a race focused class with my cbr1000rr and I can absolutely see I need to start much lower on the totem pole. I am about you size exactly. My question to you is, do you think I should convert my 400 to a track bike or get something else a little larger? I have found lots of used track bikes for sale that could work. I know "used" is its own variable. To get the 400 up to speed will cost some coin. I am willing to do so but to what end. I am a novice by all means. I would like to race whatever bike for at least two to three season. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I think the 400 is way more affordable to ride on the track and will teach you to ride fast in the corners. Great place to start for sure. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear thanks you for your insight.I value your opinion. I will be taking the 400 next time. Thanks for the great content.
I use the synthetic chain lube too, but i find ittl fling, no matter how much i wipe or let it sit for days... Also if i use mppl before chain lubing it flings more...
I love how its clear but...
I would use the cleaner, rinse off, dry, then mppl , dry then lube..
But now i clean, rinse w water, dry.. Then use synthetic lube, i skip mppl.. Any advice on fling brian?
It is what it is as far as the fling is concerned. I just clean the bikes up. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear yeah same. I guess the synthetic doesnt stick as well,but is clear
What is the coolant overflow container you have on that 400?
Motion Pro Coolant Recovery Tank Here is a link to it on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/motion-pro-coolant-recovery-tank/
Do you sell the fairings or did you just paint factory ones?
The factory ones are all up in the attic of the shop. Need to sell them. - Van
Do you just do the one oil change and itll be good for the year?
For just track days I mean
If you are using a quality oil like Motul 300v odds are many riders could go all season. - Van
Chanh Phan if you do a lot of track days or racing you can do it every couple track days or 2500 miles if your running both street and track.
Is this an abs bike? I have a ninja 636 abs and wanted to do a flush. Is it the same process? What brake fluid do you recommend for a novice rider like me?
Not sure on your 636 but look in the service manual, some have fairly complex procedures with ABS.
I'm not a certified tech, but when I flush brake fluid like that on my ABS bike it's fine, the system always has brake fluid in it, just need to make sure that the reservoir is always has some fluid in it.
Yes this was an ABS bike, I removed all of that so it no longer is. We are using Motul RBF600 Factory Line Racing Brake Fluid in all of our bikes. Here is a link to that on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/motul-rbf600-factory-line-racing-brake-fluid/
You use the same process to bleed the brakes on an ABS bike you would a non-ABS model. - Van
Ignore that shit and bleed it just like you would a non-ABS model. - Van
Which is better- chain wax or chain lube?
I prefer the synthetic lube over the wax for use on the track. If you are a street rider and do not mind the white color the chain was will last longer between applications. - Van
Where do you get that bleeder!!

Amigo que tal, soy de Argentina y aca las ninjas y z entran con 45 HP , pero veo que en otros Paises hay de 49 HP... Me puedes decir por que la diferencia? algún cambio en el motor o la electrónica?
No hablo
He's from Argentina and the ninjas down there only have 45 HP, but in other countries they come with 49. He wants to know why there's so much of a diff- is it because of an electronic thing or is it a restrictor plate thing.
Hablo.
la principal diferencia se debe a las leyes de su país. algunos países limitan los caballos de fuerza por el tamaño del motor utilizando tanto electrónica como ciertos tipos de hardware

Max don’t mess up my order hahaha
If Max is the one shipping it you are good to go. Kid works his ass off! - Van
Your audio always sounds like you're masking your voice so the police can't figure out who you are.
Don't blow my cover!
