Thank you so much for posting this video. I've been wanting to install a PCV to my Ninja 400 as well, but I've been hesitant for fear of screwing something up. Your tutorial made every step look easy and doable even for the novice. Well done.
Thanks for the support! Everything you saw, was my first shot at it. I didn't figure it out and THEN make the video. I made it as I went along. So yeah, really not that bad. As I stated somewhere in another comment, if I hadn't been filming, I probably could have done it in 2 hours or less.
nice video man. made it look easy and im sure anyone woul be able to follow along and get the job done right! i knew it had to do with the power commander. keep these great videos coming brother.
#notagrom i kinda figured you were going to add a power commander since you added one to your other bike. and i think in one of our conversations you said you wanted to i think. dont worry i didnt tell anyone bro 😂
Nice. I’ll get to my 2020 down the road. I’m bad with plastic lol. I break things easy. Wonder if the 2020 is same process as yours. Thanx 4 the information & tutorial. Really well explained sir. Subbed
just bought my power commander and will be using this video to install. super excited! wish they had more maps for our bike though.. I've got the akra full exhaust and aftermarket air filter. Unfortunately, I'll have to use their map with the stock air filter. Sucks man
Great video.... I installed mine almost the same way you did last weekend. the only exception I did get was that I disconnected the fuel line at the top (or at the tank). I follow the way the Sport bike Track gear channel did it and it didn't leak. if you haven't seen that channel yet, check it out, there are a lot of helpful installs for the Ninja 400 on that channel. I also realised that the hose from the air box was easier to uninstall/reinstall at the bottom. one tip I do have....WD40 (or similar) is your "best friend" its great for releasing electrical plugs (although it wasn't really needed as the ninja 400 is still very new and no dirt and crud is jamming up the plugs yet) WD40 also help makes reconnecting the rubber hoses & reinstalling the front of the fuel tank into those 2 holes a lot easier. I just put some WD40 on my finger and apply a little around the rubber holes or a thin film around the hose inlet nozzles. Overall, not too difficult to install. only challenging part was getting at the crank case sensor plug inside that boot. firstly it was hard to locate (not clear on the dyno-jet instructions) and hard to access with very little space. again...great video.
Not a fan of STG. Had an encounter with one of their staff on their channel and they were total douchebags to me. I actually made a video about it a week or so ago. They aren't team players. They are trying to dominate the 400 on TH-cam to increase their profit margins. They have no passion or respect for other TH-camrs and simply view them as "competition". I have no love or respect for a TH-camr that shits on other TH-camrs simply because they make videos on the same bike. That said, I appreciate YOUR support! I assume the tank has some sort of bleeder valve that keeps the fuel from leaking out, so my advice may not have mattered either way. It was just a lot easier to pull the line from the side, especially when you have big ol' monkey claws for hands, such as myself. Being that DynoJet released the PCV just a few weeks after the bike hit dealers, I'm guessing the bike they wrote the manual on had a different location for the crank sensor that Kawasaki updated after.
Ok, SO I have no idea why Im watching this.. I dont own any bike or have a license.. But what does this power commander do exactly? Increases HP or what?
Hey #notagrom, just wondering what your thoughts are on leaving the stock O2 sensor connected with the PCV? I've heard leaving it in allows the ECU to go into "closed loop" mode which negates the effect of the PCV, although this should only happen when riding at a constant speed with low engine load. Is this something worth worrying about? Worth getting an O2 sensor deleter or no?
Any gain in power and top speed.? I have heard this power commanders don’t do much for this bike even if you have a K&N filter and free exhaust. Please let us know on another video. I don’t want to waste my money and hurt my bike engine.
#notagrom what if you have a different air filter or a different air intake and there are only those fuel maps for stock filter, will it harm my bike or lack performance?
I think you have convinced me. I'm going to buy the Ninja 400. I mean, what the hell, right? Life is short. The wife is dead-set against it, but from what I've been told, it's easier to ask for forgiveness, rather than permission. And yes, I will be doing your mods.
@@InfamousInternetVillainJackSix Agreed. I'm not getting any younger. I am, however, going to change up your strategy a bit. I bought her another purse and a vintage Barbie doll for her collection. That should cushion the blow.
My bike still has warranty. If I install this device, I know warranty will be invalid. But If I swapped back to stock, is dealer able to found out I have used aftermarket ecu?
Hey y’all buying my first bike ever the ninja 400 never road a bike before only been on the back and I love it but I’m just scared I’m gonna shift wrong any autoflippers for the ninja 400 so I don’t have to use the clutch?
Just Chillin you are a beginner you should ride a scooter first and know the principles of the bike riding, even city laws and signals. If you decide to own this bike as your starting bike please be supervised by a more experience biker. This 400 cc is not a beginner bike and you can get Easily kill with the power and the 120 Mph that this bike makes Consider it😎👍🏼👍🏼
@@InfamousInternetVillainJackSix Do you know the typical warranty on a 2018 I have the same exact bike... no issues with over heating that I know of.. just curious.. if I should go ahead and replace it.
@@KBradAdams If it's working, I wouldn't worry about it. They always seemed to either be DOA when new or they worked fine and never failed. One or the other.
Thanks for this upload. I've used a carb type motorcycle for over 10 years now 😅 (bike model I really love, had 2 of them) but I've been planning to upgrade to this baby. (watching vids about the n400 and stumbled on this) Is an ecu upgrade that necessary, if I was to install aftermarket exhaust?
Well you can either lay them out on the ground beneath the bike where they go, take pictures as you go, or do what I do and video yourself. Then when you think you've lost a bolt, you can go back and watch the video. (I actually did this once during this install after misplacing the plate that holds the tank on in the rear). Haha!
Really Nice Video！And I want to ask if it can reach the max speed 125 Mph(201 Kph) with the PC5? Would you like to allow me to put this video in other website?(some chinese website)?
There are users in our group that claim they have reached 125 mph stock. You can post the link to this video wherever you like, so long as no one downloads or re-uploads it elsewhere.
Thanks a lot! I mean can you allow me to upload this video in a chinese video website because most Chinese can not see youtube? I am just a porter ， will claim this video was made by you 。Or could you get a weibo account so we can get it from yourself？~
Notagrom, tell us the truth. I know this power commanders don’t work as expected. No noticeable gains in power and speed. Only makes your engine fuel rich. You gonna brake your bike soon
paulo sergio rocha créeme esos power commanders no funcionan. No pierdas tu dinero. No me crees cómpralo en el internet instálalo pruébalo y devuélvelo si puedes. Pérdida total de dinero y vas a joder tu motor. Por eso este fulano no muestra los resultados. Te lo digo por experiencia
Will only rich fuel the bike and will hurt your engine in time...The Kawasaki engineers made this bike with all what it needs to perform at maximum with the computer and map that originally has. Don’t waste your money don’t waste your beautiful bike.
Does this ninja have the usual off idle Hesitation when you let the clutch out and open the throttle just a little bit more to get going? Does the machine surge/not hold a steady speed on the highway with steady flowing traffic speeds? do the riders following you have problems with their eyes burning and the smell of gasoline when they follow you as usual with these types of things.? The factories spend millions on research and development of these machines. It is quite a juggling act. Their machine Hass to be better than the competition, it Hass to be reliable so they don’t go broke doing #Warranty recalls, which aren’t very good for their reputation either, they have to pass the EPA sniff test, and the machine has to have what is known as “drivability “meaning, it will run without a hiccup in slow traffic, medium speed traffic, stop and go traffic, at sea level, and in mile high Denver. there’s always going to be some aftermarket company that claims they can catch lightning in a bottle, they can turn lead into gold, they can make lemonade out of lemons. I roadraced box stock class streetbikes for 8 years..i won 6 championships , 2 national championships.. I did this on a totally box stock machine. My first year racing, when I didn’t win, I am mediately started doing modifications. I knew it couldn’t possibly be me that was slow, it had to be my motorcycle. So I modified it and modified it and modified it after every race and I didn’t win.. I ended up converting that machine into a pile of useless scrap by over modifying it. I quit racing before the end of that first season. The second season, I started with a box stock machine with no modifications to the airbox, engine, or exhaust system. I did upgrade suspension, and relocated the foot pegs up higher, but that was it. I learned my lesson the first year, I learned that the factory knows more than i do.. I actually learned how to ride. I don’t mean the kind of riding you do on the street which is not even comparable to road race track riding. I knew that my box lock machine was going to start and finish every race and run as it was designed to run by factory geniuses. I started winning races the first year on a stock bike, and I ended up winning all those championships in a row, year after year after year. My machine would get protestant from time to time and had to undergo scrutiny by officials. The reason I would get protest it was because guys that weighed 50 pounds less than me on the same machine, Their machines were slower. The reason their machines were slower is, the deviated from stock tuning. They fell under the same trap I did my first year. I didn’t realize that it was them if it was slow, not their machine. don’t waste your money on these aftermarket scams. You’re not gonna notice anything except surging, hesitation, overly rich exhaust,most of the time.. leave your machine stock. Nobody wants to buy your Frankenstein when you go to sell it either.. I have a 2019 Kawasaki Z 400 right now. I am upgrading the suspension, but I’m not even going to change the stock air cleaner out. I learned long ago to leave my machine totally stock.. look at it this way. If you have an issue with your motorcycle if you cannot figure out by yourself. That means you have to take it to the dealer. With bikes today, labor is about $100 an hour or more. The technician on a fuel injected bike will have to plug it into his laptop and check the readings against the factory specs..When you go to changing things, the factory technician can’t find the baseline because there isn’t one anymore.. not only that, but if your machine is still under warranty, and if you bought an extended warranty, you can kiss that goodbye once you make a modification like this video... I actually remember when Honda rejected warranty claims on a few Honda Gold wing motors that went bad, because the owners put on an aftermarket chrome oil filters that caused the problem.. they did it to dress up their bike by putting on a cheap aftermarket chrome oil filter.. New bikes still under warranty, engine blows because of an oil filter, Honda would not fix the engines. I remember that because I worked on a Yamaha Suzuki shop at the time I heard that from a nearby Honda dealer. Leave your bike stock. If it’s too slow for you, sell it and buy a faster bike..
Thanks for the video. I appreciate the level of detail provided. I noticed the map you loaded said it was for Akrapovic full exhaust (which in my mind would include a header and no cat). I doubt a slip-on with stock header (with cat) flows much more than completely stock. Consider adding the Delkevic header for $238. delkevic.com/stainless-steel-2-1-headers-to-fit-ninja-400-2018/ And for my money, I'd feel a whole lot better getting the bike on a dyno to confirm results. It is possible to lose power with upgrades and no tuning or running the wrong map. It doesn't cost a lot and you may be able to get free or reduced cost dyno time in trade for youtube shout outs. Or make a whole video about it. That'd be real cool. Here's a link to dyno centers: www.dynojet.com/dynocenters/dynojet-motorcycle-dyno-centers.aspx
I’ve got the Dino jet and it’s not really that good... save your money and get a bigger faster bike unless you’re really into customed bikes and all the other stuff.
