Overview[edit | edit source]
Kawasaki Ninja 400
Based closely on the Ninja 650R, Kawasaki has
updated its baby Ninja 400 for the 2017 model year with a host
of changes to the engine, chassis and styling to improve engine
performance and ergos.
Replacing the Kawasaki Ninja 300 in the lineup, the Kawasaki
Ninja 400 is set to be Team Greens new entry-level model, and
help Kawasaki better compete against bigger bikes like the
Yamaha YZF-R3 and KTM RC390.
Kawasaki says the major driving force behind the new model is
the Euro4 homologation requirements, which required a
clean-slate design.
The Kawasaki Ninja 400 will sport new bodywork which will be
inspired from its elder siblings making it lighter in weight as
compared to its predecessor. Also, the new Ninja 400 will also get
assist-and-slipper clutch which will make the clutch lighter by 20
percent. In terms of styling, the new Ninja 400 motorcycle gets
bodywork inspiration from bigger Ninja H2 which makes it not only
bigger but also wider than the predecessor.
The basic idea for the Ninja 300 carries over to the Ninja 400 though, as the new model will continue to use a 399cc parallel-twin engine (with a larger bore and larger stroke), which makes a touch more power of 45hp, and torque of 38 Nm / 26 lbs-ft than the 300cc model. The unit will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox which will transmit the power to the rear wheels. Despite the larger engine, Kawasaki managed to keep the weight down on the Ninja 400, with the scales tipping in at 168 kg / 370 lbs at the curb. A large part of this weight reduction comes from the smaller fuel tank on the Ninja 400, which is only 13.6 liters / 3.6 gallons (the Ninja 300 had a 17 liters / 4.5 gallon fuel tank).
The motorcycle also gets a 310mm front disc brake which is assisted by Nissin calipers along with ABS.
Get ahead with class-leading power and performance with the all-new Ninja 400.
Clad in sharp new Ninja styling, the Ninja 400 has an engine and chassis that
are more powerful and significantly lighter than its Ninja 300 predecessor. Its
stronger engine performance, light, predictable handling and relaxed, sporty
riding position make the Ninja 400 both fun and easy to ride.
Your ride to greatness starts here.
