Kawasaki Ninja 400 – Street Born – Track Inspired

The Kawasaki Ninja 400 uses a 399cc twin cylinder engine that packs a punch of 45bhp. Using a new down draft intake which is accompanied by a larger airbox offers increased intake efficiency.

The new Ninja 400 uses an Assist & Slipper clutch This requires much less pressure at the lever making city riding a much easier experience also giving a lot more control on the down change preventing the possibility of the rear wheel locking up.

The Ninja 400 offers considerable weight savings over the outgoing Ninja 300 thanks to its new chassis, suspension and engine, which is 1kg lighter than the Ninja 250). These components also offer improved stability and manoeuvrability.

With the latest ABS unit from Nissin, clamping down on a 290 mm semi-floating disc, the Ninja 400 will stop as well as it goes.

Seat height of just 786mm makes the Kawasaki Ninja 400 very accessible to most riders, there is also an ErGO-FIT higher seat (+30mm) for the taller rider.

LED headlights clearly light up the path of the Ninja 400 whilst adding to the very modern look of this light weight superbike. The speedo assembly is taken from the Ninja 400’s big brother the Ninja 650.

The Ninja 400 is also fitted with a 14-litre fuel tank that is capable of offering over 200 miles of range.

The styling of the Kawasaki Ninja 400 is undeniably “Ninja”, with aggressive looking headlamps and nose cowl and minimalist rear seat unit. The bike shares so many of its looks with the ZX10R. Extra “volume” has been designed into the bodywork to give this lightweight machine the presence of one much larger.

The big bike looks make this a really credible step into the Kawasaki brand. The handling and performance of the Kawasaki Ninja 400 will keep you interested for years to come.

Engine

Unmistakably a screamer

Legendary Kawasaki high revving inline 4 cylinder engine.

At the heart of this immediately impressive machine is a newly developed 399cc liquid-cooled, parallel 4-cylinder DOHC engine based on technology from Kawasaki’s legendary Ninja ZX series of supersport machines, which is able to deliver a maximum output of 57 kW (77 PS) and 59 kW (80 PS) when ram air is pressurized*. The engine has been conceived to combine strong low- and mid-range torque with strong power at high rpm and in all riding situations, from daily use to on-track sport riding.

Equipped with Kawasaki’s world-famous Ram Air system that increases filling efficiency and contributes to improved engine performance, the air intake is located in the centre of the upper cowl, providing styling that is instantly recognisable as part of the Ninja ZX series. The Ram Air ducts are located on the left side of the front forks, leading to the airbox while the “Ram Air” stamping is visible to the rider to show off the performance of the Ram Air system. The ultra high-revving engine, which revs above 15,000 rpm, delivers the exhilarating exhaust sound that only a Kawasaki high-performance parallel four-cylinder engine can deliver.

Chassis

A 400cc engine, shoe horned into the ZX-25R Chassis.

What do you expect?

In terms of chassis, the configuration is focused on excellent handling performance and is inspired by the chassis elements and design concept of the Ninja ZX-10RR World Superbike. Featuring a high-tensile steel trellis frame and a curved long-type swingarm, the frame achieves an idealised front-rear weight distribution plus an excellent balance of rigidity and flexibility, providing nimble handling and great rider feedback.

Showa’s advanced SFF-BP front fork (Ninja ZX-4R SE and Ninja ZX-4RR models feature a preload adjustment mechanism) is featured with the rear equipped with a horizontal back-link rear suspension system offering the same progressive characteristics of the Ninja ZX-10R supersport model, contributing to the superb handling performance typical of supersport models. Additionally, the Ninja ZX-4RR variant features the same type of Showa BFRC-lite rear shock as the Ninja ZX-10R.

Braking power is delivered via φ290mm semi-floating front twin discs and radial-mounted monobloc calipers, while the rear uses a large-diameter φ220mm disc. The overall package delivers powerful braking force and excellent brake feel, response and power. In terms of braking effectiveness and grip, the F120/R160 tyre combination adopted is designed to match the Ninja ZX-4RR’s dynamic performance and provide excellent stability at high speeds.
