I see lots of comments that "Now it's as fast as my Ninja 650/R7/SV650" for a lot more money. True. Subjectively, anything 650cc or bigger is going to be faster, but that's not the point. You have to ride a high revving 400cc bike first before making those comments. After riding one, you will either think it's the coolest thing you've ever ridden, or just won't be for you. A big part of the experience is running it into a corner, downshifting 2 or 3 times, firing out of the corner running to redline in 2 or 3 gears then looking down at the speedo, and seeing you are barely over the speed limit, instead of being in license jeopardizing territory.
This is still literally ZX-6R money. On the showroom floor right now this at 9700. 6 bikes away 10,200 non abs ZX-6R. I was looking today. I want a track toy. A squid with a 20 year old 600 eats you up all day long. At a track, everyone is passing you. This bike should have been 7500 tops. I would seriously look at it for that. For 11k otd and needing flash, tires, and exhaust? For 600 bucks more just buy the bike you will end up trading it in on.
@alexwhiteman2628 and the better rider does not stay on a 4. And would not spend the 636 money on a 4. I did start out small. A 50cc 3 Speed MR50. To 70, to 85, to 125, to 250, to my first street bike. Which was a 500. Now my smallest bike is a 750. And I looked at the 4 for a track toy. It was why I watched these videos on it. But you cannot justify 11k out the door for one. Maybe if it was a boutique Ducati 400. But Kawa¿? Nah. This was at least priced 2k too much.
Like I understand what people are trying to to say, but twins fucking die in the upper rpm (besides the rs660 Aprilia are demons). i4 just have a magic in high rpm that is not the same. If you like torque then go enjoy your torque. I want that engine spinning up and crankshaft BUZZING as my exhaust sings out my tune. And that's on every corner. Now there is finally an option outside of r3/ninja500 that won't get you arrested. I went gw250, cbr500r, cbr600rr and honestly I could see myself on a zx4rr
@rickd-jh7iw best explanation of why a low cc Supersport is fuckin awesome. As much as I love my gixxer 600, it gets kinda disappointing not being able to use full power past 3rd gear without potentially losing my license
We would need to see in gear roll on tests, 40-80 in 3rd or 4th for example to determine if the flash did anything. The new numbers are weak sauce for the claimed bump in power.
One video closer to a new exhaust!! Let's GOOOOOOO 😂😂😂 0-60 in 4 seconds shifting manually on a 400...... PREEEEEEETTY GOOD considering most cars aren't that fast unless you have something pretty spicy approaching 100k
The newer Kawasaki models have a mode where if you dyno it, it’ll disable the quickshifter, toggling through power modes, etc. You have to do 3 rides (more than 10 minutes) averaging higher than 45 MPH and when you cycle it the 4th time, it’ll go back to being normal. Hope that helped anyone!
Im thinking the only reason to want this 400 is to race in a class where 600s are not welcome...I mean otherwise? WHY bother? Its a PIG power to weight wise compared to 600s
I'd love to see a performance comparison between the Ninja ZX-4RR stock & tuned, versus a stock & tuned 2017 or later Ninja 650. I know the 2017+ Ninja 650 can do 0-60 in the mid 3's stock with a good launch, so I'd love to see a race between the two.
0-60 becomes a pretty irrelevant figure pretty early on with motorcycles in my opinion. 0-100 or 60-100 is a much better indication of performance, once bikes get to a certain point they never really get to 60 any faster than 3 seconds Even the panigale V4 0-60 is 3 seconds
@@sterman7632 If you want a 600 like somewhat feel with great seating position...i think they priced it correctly. Allows you to have absolute fun and still have ENOUGH power
I wonder how it will sell. I know a bunch of guys that would like to get their hands on the ZX25R with little interest in the ZX4R. The ZX25R is like a fun little rocket that revs high as shit at 25mph, while the ZX4R just strikes me as a slower 600. Could be popular with learners that would have bought an R7 or RS660. I wonder how it compares
I am honestly shocked that this bike is just about 5mph faster than my 803cc twin scrambler. I knew jt wouldnt be as fast as its big brothers, but i didnt expect that to be all she has in her.
It's not as if he was pushing the redline at max V. Fit a squid tail tidy (weight loss), ditch me mirrors (or at least fold them), hi-flow air filter, swap out the end can (weight loss) and re-flash, have a back hump on your leathers to help smooth out aero, pump up the tyres a little, take a dump before riding and just maybe it might get into the 140s.

Nice 4 stroke 400cc current era production bike, probably the best of the era in its class. With its high rev to 15k, i bet it will have much fun after getting know how to ride it maintaining the high revs when wanna go fast and it's also more comfortable when going slow rather than a very torqueki bike like the bigger cc bikes like the MT09 and more practical for me living in my country, Singapore where land is small and easily gets into trouble if whacking it super fast. This bike is like last time era bikes of 2 strokes beasts like the NSR250 and the Aprilia 250 which easily smoked the 400cc
The reason it's limited in the first place is because super-short-stroke high-revving 4-cylinder engines don't pass the latest emission regulations (Exhibit B: Yamaha R6). Reflashed it no longer within the pollution limits.
After riding motorcycles all my life of every size and power imaginable, for the third motorcycle in my stable to keep my Road King and my VStrom DL1000 company, I do believe I'll put my money on a Ninja 400 The two cylinder one. If I was going to spend that money I'd go ahead and get a 600 class super sport. I understand the idea and concept of a 400 being super cool and I really did want one. But I really think unless that price got a lot less I'd be just as happy with the regular 400 Ninja since I wouldn't be taking it to the track anyway.
Debating on going ZX4RR or ZX6R 2024, as next year I will be able to ride any bike being full licensed. ZX4RR - can achieve the sense of going fast without breaking the law too much but at the cost of being almost as costly as the ZX6R where I'll get more power and the new facelift which IMO looks fking nice! so if i did get the ZX6R with the new tech except auto blipper which i believe i can just install one for 1-2k? Decisions - I know down the road ill be getting a bigger bike aswell.
@808Affliction I'm leaning more towards the zx6r, since I'd have to pay for a flash aswell when I can achieve more power without it. Maybe they can retune the riding modes to have different power settings aswell. 🤔
@@AMSFITNESSx You would have rider modes. Just start on rain mode till you get comfortable and learn. Just remember to always respect the bike. If you are spending almost the same amount of money as your starter bike I would get the bigger CC. You won’t regret it.
the bike is acting like it has a 135mph speed limiter on it. when he shifted from 5th to 6th the bike wasn’t accelerating even though it dropped closer to peak power.
I changed the sprocket for higher gearing and strong with a tail wind pinned the speedo at 140. Now just to remind you.. These bikes were prone to sudden speed wobbles. I wasn't thinking about that. Always check your tire pressure before being stupid. The Kawasaki 500 H1 is a legacy bike like the Z1. Yeah right. There is also Mr. 750.
Where in the Philippines is someone riding 119 mph? I have ridden all over and even 100 kph is crazy fast in most places. It is the opposite of US and Canada where we have awesome roads and very remote places available to ride.
Hi from Belgium. Effectively, there are different specs and power outputs in different markets. Europe gets the full power versions, but the USA, for instance, has a restricted 42kW (56.3hp) ZX-4RR and in Australia the power is pegged at 55kW (73.8hp). In Europe, 57kW (77hp) (it is quite strange for me because we usually are always more restricted in Europe than in the US).
My problem is I don't want to void the 2yr warranty (1yr if you service instead of Kawasaki 😢). Once we get a bit older i can't wait. In the meantime the zx6r gives me enough pucker up moments for now 😂
I dont think its meant for top speed. Also, similarly to cars, cylinders don't really matter. A 1.6L turbo will have a significantly lower top speed than a 2.0T or 2.5T I4. Im sure it'd be higher if there was a full exhaust system and maybe a higher flow intake for the bike
How many years have you riden the Grom? This ZX4RR is a wonderful and fun bike, but not a great commuter bike. You have to ride it pretty hard to keep it up in the power range, and a daily work grind is best done at more sensible and less adrenaline pumping speeds and revs. And it's as noisy as hell. So if you ever have to go to work early your neighbours will hate you. And if you're stuck in traffic in summer she is going to start to cook you with hot air coming off the fairing. For a commute you want one of those big scooters. The Yamaha TMAX 560 a great choice. Or the Suzuki 400 I think it's called Burgman or Burgham. If you can't love a scooter go Naked, MT-03. Or if it's got to look like this then get a Ninja 400/500.
Not a competition, the 650 would kill it lol. They make 95hp without mods and with mods can make that same 95 at the tire with the same weight between the 2 for almost the same price
@@fastec5 the cbr weighs almost 20kg more and also im a pretty short dude so i think the ninja might fit me better. I also happen to live in Europe so I wont be modding my bike in any major ways
@@philippmayenburg7282 the 650R is surprisingly small in person. Like, almost Ninja 400 size. Just would depend on your preferences I suppose. As cool as this bike is, for the money I'd rather have a few other bikes. But it is really cool lol.
There are kits to fix the Speedo if you mess around with the front/rear sprockets, which will throw your Speedo off. I assume it can be addressed. Can always use Google maps to check your speed using GPS data while riding, but please have it on a mount and not in your hand!!
Europe gets the full power versions 59kW (79.1hp), but the USA, for instance, has a restricted 42kW (56.3hp) ZX-4RR and in Australia the power is pegged at 55kW (73.8hp).
I thought you had to have a full exhaust installed in order to flash the ECU. So, does this mean I can get the ECU on my 23 ninja 400 flashed without putting on a full exhaust?
I believe that you give the people doing the flash your specs, stock exhaust vs partial system vs full system/air box changes etc. I believe ideal to do the air box/exhaust changes first and then pay once to have the ECU flash done. But I am no expert. Cam
Zx4rr was detuned to reduce noise for US laws because it's inline 4 revving to 16k 95% of bikes are factory tuned to run at a reasonable high level where they will still give the engine a very good long life, but won't leave much power on the table With an ECU you probably won't get more than a couple hp, if even that. Decat, exhaust, intake ECU and a Dyno tune and you might get maybe 10hp
It could benefit from a full system exhaust and a high flow air filter.
It needs a full Akrapovic. TST Industries installed one designed for the ZX25rr, sounds amazing.
Needs a tail tidy too and some sliders
Or just get a 636?

With its high rev to 15k, i bet it will have much fun after getting know how to ride it maintaining the high revs when wanna go fast and it's also more comfortable when going slow rather than a very torqueki bike like the bigger cc bikes like the MT09 and more practical for me living in my country, Singapore where land is small and easily gets into trouble if whacking it super fast. This bike is like last time era bikes of 2 strokes beasts like the NSR250 and the Aprilia 250 which easily smoked the 400cc
Moore mafia did a nice tune on the 400.
Goodness! A 400cc doing over 130? Nice. 👍🏽
9700 for a 400 versus ZX-6R at 10,200 non abs. 11k for the ABS. I would spend the extra 500 bucks all day long.
The reason it's limited in the first place is because super-short-stroke high-revving 4-cylinder engines don't pass the latest emission regulations (Exhibit B: Yamaha R6). Reflashed it no longer within the pollution limits.
All nice, but any dyno chart before and after to see what happened in reality?
After riding motorcycles all my life of every size and power imaginable, for the third motorcycle in my stable to keep my Road King and my VStrom DL1000 company, I do believe I'll put my money on a Ninja 400 The two cylinder one. If I was going to spend that money I'd go ahead and get a 600 class super sport.
I understand the idea and concept of a 400 being super cool and I really did want one. But I really think unless that price got a lot less I'd be just as happy with the regular 400 Ninja since I wouldn't be taking it to the track anyway.
Debating on going ZX4RR or ZX6R 2024, as next year I will be able to ride any bike being full licensed. ZX4RR - can achieve the sense of going fast without breaking the law too much but at the cost of being almost as costly as the ZX6R where I'll get more power and the new facelift which IMO looks fking nice! so if i did get the ZX6R with the new tech except auto blipper which i believe i can just install one for 1-2k?
Decisions - I know down the road ill be getting a bigger bike aswell.
@@AMSFITNESSx Get the 600cc you’ll get tired of the 400cc in months and thinking about buying a different bigger bike.
@808Affliction I'm leaning more towards the zx6r, since I'd have to pay for a flash aswell when I can achieve more power without it.
Maybe they can retune the riding modes to have different power settings aswell. 🤔
@@AMSFITNESSx You would have rider modes. Just start on rain mode till you get comfortable and learn. Just remember to always respect the bike. If you are spending almost the same amount of money as your starter bike I would get the bigger CC. You won’t regret it.
@808Affliction well my first bike is a ninja 250 and it's been pretty fun throttling all the way.
Zx6r might take away that fun
My EURO🇪🇺 ZX4RR has 80Hp since dealership. A huge from SPAIN 🇪🇸
the bike is acting like it has a 135mph speed limiter on it. when he shifted from 5th to 6th the bike wasn’t accelerating even though it dropped closer to peak power.
Was literally looking for this video the past two days, perfect upload time!
For new riders he should do a video of how to pick what you want on you flashing your ecu
The Brah has gotten into Yammie and Yammie has gotten into the Brah, lol
I changed the sprocket for higher gearing and strong with a tail wind pinned the speedo at 140.
Now just to remind you.. These bikes were prone to sudden speed wobbles.
I wasn't thinking about that. Always check your tire pressure before being stupid.
The Kawasaki 500 H1 is a legacy bike like the Z1. Yeah right. There is also Mr. 750.
Get full system exhaust from Indonesia, it's should be same as ZX25R, Austin racing or yoshimura maybe
Same header diameter at nearly twice the displacement? Are you sure the flanges are the same? 🤔
Di indo ma ganti performance parts bukan buat upgrade performance, tapi kebanyakan biar dikata hedon
Akrapovic makes the full exhaust for this bike., the zx25rr is an exact fit
This is the bike I’m getting . My first bike . I promise . Awesome video 👍
Filter/Stack, good Exhaust, Rizoma stealths, EZ dub
It’s obviously electronically speed limited
The sprocket combination of this bike in Philippines is 15/43...0-60 is bit slow but the 3rd can reach 119 mph..😁
Where in the Philippines is someone riding 119 mph? I have ridden all over and even 100 kph is crazy fast in most places. It is the opposite of US and Canada where we have awesome roads and very remote places available to ride.
looks about as fast as my 07 sv650
when it was brand new
It could benefit from 236 more cubes in the engine
I think its 399cc, so I'd give it about... 237 ml more volume... I agree that's a pretty good size.
What about we call it the zx6r ? Thoughts ?
So it’s basically as fast as my ninja 650
Man I would love a bike like that looks beautiful
Wonder if you can plug and play a overseas ECU????
Flash the ECU without getting a full system?????
Speedy Tuesday came early!
Hey if you could do like 10 under the posted construction zone limit that'd be great.
Sincerely,
A guy that delivers to construction sites
Hi from Belgium.
Effectively, there are different specs and power outputs in different markets. Europe gets the full power versions, but the USA, for instance, has a restricted 42kW (56.3hp) ZX-4RR and in Australia the power is pegged at 55kW (73.8hp). In Europe, 57kW (77hp) (it is quite strange for me because we usually are always more restricted in Europe than in the US).
Lovely thing you did here.. keep up..
Babe wake up yammie noob just uploaded a new ninja 400 video
looks like south Austin, maybe the toll road?
Yeah the highway is 130. His office is on south congress somewhere, I think by the brewery
My problem is I don't want to void the 2yr warranty (1yr if you service instead of Kawasaki 😢). Once we get a bit older i can't wait. In the meantime the zx6r gives me enough pucker up moments for now 😂
Will we get a full track day review of its potential?
I second this question...
Of course we will
Its coming. Yammie just takes baby steps with testing and modding to get the maximum content available, especially on these give away bikes.
Its amazing how a 4 cylinder barely pushes passed 130 😂 over here with a ChinaForce 450ss parallel pushing passed that
I dont think its meant for top speed. Also, similarly to cars, cylinders don't really matter. A 1.6L turbo will have a significantly lower top speed than a 2.0T or 2.5T I4. Im sure it'd be higher if there was a full exhaust system and maybe a higher flow intake for the bike
So... no faster than my old 1990 Honda CBR400RR-L, that must be the modern definition of progress.
It hits 148 with full exhaust and filter
Who would win in the race track zx4rr or kove450rr?
I'd be curious to know if you think the power increase is worth voiding the warranty for a normal person.
No. If you really need more power then get the ZX-6R. I would only flash a new bike if you're loaded with cash and don't care about warranty at all.
Dyno numbers would be really interesting 👀
What a beast
Please put a full racefit exhaust system from the uk
I had my Volvo 850 station wagon up to the same speed... on the German autobahn.
Nice video 👍👌could you please share what the ecu is it? Brand and model please 🙏
CANBUS connectors!!! how do they work?
As though it needs more power 😂
Pretty sure moore mafia said you had to have a e adapter and a scan tool to clear the flashing codes
Doing great testing pre and post flash on that zx4rr
Been looking for a big boy bike,Honda Grom is fun and all but need something to go to work
How many years have you riden the Grom? This ZX4RR is a wonderful and fun bike, but not a great commuter bike.
You have to ride it pretty hard to keep it up in the power range, and a daily work grind is best done at more sensible and less adrenaline pumping speeds and revs.
And it's as noisy as hell. So if you ever have to go to work early your neighbours will hate you.
And if you're stuck in traffic in summer she is going to start to cook you with hot air coming off the fairing.
For a commute you want one of those big scooters. The Yamaha TMAX 560 a great choice. Or the Suzuki 400 I think it's called Burgman or Burgham.
If you can't love a scooter go Naked, MT-03. Or if it's got to look like this then get a Ninja 400/500.
Somehow without the gas tank it looks clean ash dawg
Much better content a real bike now 😈🤘💨
Have we moved beyond the days of blurring speedometers? Lol
please make a comparison between the flashed zx4rr and the cbr 650r I'll soon need to decide between those two but its really hard🙏🙏
Not a competition, the 650 would kill it lol. They make 95hp without mods and with mods can make that same 95 at the tire with the same weight between the 2 for almost the same price
@@fastec5 the cbr weighs almost 20kg more and also im a pretty short dude so i think the ninja might fit me better. I also happen to live in Europe so I wont be modding my bike in any major ways
@@philippmayenburg7282 the 650R is surprisingly small in person. Like, almost Ninja 400 size. Just would depend on your preferences I suppose. As cool as this bike is, for the money I'd rather have a few other bikes. But it is really cool lol.
It's a 400 that feels like a 600, one R add 100cc quickmath 400+RR=600
Take it back to the track.
The Perfect Bidet
If you make a gearing change your speedo will be wrong. Or can you adjust that?
There are kits to fix the Speedo if you mess around with the front/rear sprockets, which will throw your Speedo off. I assume it can be addressed.
Can always use Google maps to check your speed using GPS data while riding, but please have it on a mount and not in your hand!!
Europe gets the full power versions 59kW (79.1hp), but the USA, for instance, has a restricted 42kW (56.3hp) ZX-4RR and in Australia the power is pegged at 55kW (73.8hp).
I thought you had to have a full exhaust installed in order to flash the ECU. So, does this mean I can get the ECU on my 23 ninja 400 flashed without putting on a full exhaust?
I believe that you give the people doing the flash your specs, stock exhaust vs partial system vs full system/air box changes etc. I believe ideal to do the air box/exhaust changes first and then pay once to have the ECU flash done. But I am no expert. Cam
thats insane, + 1/3 of its original hp is a lot. Can it be also done on zx25rr to gain, say, 15 hp too?
Zx4rr was detuned to reduce noise for US laws because it's inline 4 revving to 16k
95% of bikes are factory tuned to run at a reasonable high level where they will still give the engine a very good long life, but won't leave much power on the table
With an ECU you probably won't get more than a couple hp, if even that.
Decat, exhaust, intake ECU and a Dyno tune and you might get maybe 10hp
@@Codec264the 25RR revs to 17,000... So did the also detune the US 25RR?
Brooo I want this bike so bad now even worse then before
Why dont you upgrade the exhaust ?
Same max speed of my 25years old, 60 two stroke hp RS250 :D
Imagine upgrading camshafts
