Hi everyone, I’m having a strange issue with my 2018 Ninja 400.

The dash works normally for everything else, including:
Speed
ODO
Trip A/B
Fuel gauge
Gear indicator
ECO light

But these three functions don’t work:

Instant fuel economy: ---
Average fuel economy: ---
Range: 0 while riding and --- when stopped

I’ve already replaced the battery, added fresh fuel, ridden enough distance, and removed the instrument cluster connector. I checked the connector and pins, couldn’t see any corrosion or damage, cleaned it with electrical contact cleaner, and reconnected it properly.

Still no change.

My next step is to check the ECU-to-meter wiring with a multimeter, or possibly test another instrument cluster.

Has anyone had this exact issue before? What ended up being the cause?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400 with around 8,000 km on it. The bike had been sitting for about a year before I bought it.

Everything on the dash seems to work normally:
**Speedometer works**
**ODO works**
**Trip A/B works**
**Gear indicator works**
**Fuel gauge works normally**
**Clock works and doesn’t reset**
**ECO indicator comes on while riding**
**Check engine light turns off normally after starting**

However, these three functions don’t work:
**Instant fuel economy: ---**
**Average fuel economy: ---**
**Range: shows 0 while riding and --- when stopped**

I’ve ridden the bike more than enough for the readings to calculate, but they never appear.
I have also replaced the old original battery with a new battery, but it made no difference.

Has anyone had the same problem on a Ninja 400?

Could this be an instrument cluster/meter issue, ECU-to-meter communication issue, or a bad connector/wire?

I’m thinking about removing the fairings and checking the meter connector and wiring next, but I’d like to know if there is anything specific I should check before pulling things apart.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

So I was trying installation a helmet lock on my bike. And all the sudden I hear these kind of noise coming out from my fuel tank. Any idea what’s going on? It that normal or is it something I should be worried about.

Thanks everyone

they just never appear. No matter how far I drive I’ve driven more than 20KM per trip now. Never show
