r/Ninja400

First set I forgot to offset 90 degrees as instructed. Would I have to replace the damper rod?

Hi all, I noticed the other day that my 2023 ninja 400 is making a clicking sound whenever the engine is running (clip attached). So just wondering if this is normal or something I should worry about?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks heaps! 🙏

Im completely new to riding and I want to know if everything sounds okay with this bike

Lost my first ninja 400 when I got hit by a car & just picked up another, Keeping the 2021 400 for street riding and my 675R for track days only since all the good twisties are far away.

Really loving the blipper so far. Super fun to use and it works great, but the install was a pain. Cutting throttle cables and lots of grinding on the frame. Definitely glad I did it, but I don’t want to do it again lol.

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

I hear rattling at low speeds (<70) and it’s caused by this plastic piece flapping. What is the replacement clip for this area in the front wheel area?

Installed norton shift star which requires taking out clutch basket. When I put it back together and pull on the clutch the rear tire is locked while in first. Pretty sure this pull rod isnt supposed to have this free play so might have something to do with that.

EDIT: thanks everyone that responded, the gear on the back of the clutch basket was backwards. Should have realized something was wrong when I didn't need the clutch holding tool when torquing down the basket nut.

went to tighten my chain and i think i over tightened the axle nut, tire has resistance when spun. and that rattle from the chain doesnt sound normal. might have over tightened it at first but loosened and the rattle remains. help?
EDIT: thanks for the help! i originally was confused about how to measure the slack, even with the picture on the bike due to some youtube videos showing them only pull up to measure.
all lubed up and loosened thanks

I’m 18 going into college, i have some investments but i’ll have enough to buy this beautiful 400 with my next paycheck and current savings. I’ve been wanting to ride for years and wanted a 400 to start on.

I resurrected this Ninja that had a destroyed transmission to run in a Reliability Rally with some friends. For the Rally we all buy bikes for under $1500 and ride them 400miles. We also have a few competitions and one of them is “best build”. Usually the funny builds win and so I am wanting to make the most obnoxious Ninja 400. So I just wanted to see if anyone had recommendations on stupid mods I could add. Just the most over the top strakes or anything else. Already planning on covering it with fake sponsorship stickers but want some parts as well.
