Hope this video helped you decide if the Ninja 500 is worth it to you!
I can’t wait to get one. You’re an underrated channel!!
I appreciate you for watching! What color do you want to get?
451cc. Engine, 377 lbs. Great review! I’ll never get a Ninja 500… but I love my Ninja 400 (track bike) and 1000sx! Check out the 1000sx for your next bike, it’s amazing.
It’s a fun bike! I will look at the 1000sx in a year or two!
ayy yessir just bought a 40th edition for a secondary bike, solid torque easy daily rider pus she still comes up, fire video brodie, got a full header and map 2 tune from tst recommend flashing ecu can get up to 135(ish)
How much did the flashing cost, did you do a full exhaust system with it?
@@MotoTSJ yessir of course. pointless to flash an ecu without a full system waste of money imo, and im currently running a full custom header system made by a friend (full titanium), over 15 pounds weight saved just from that, with an akrapovic carbon exhaust, and the tune i went for was the TST industries stage 2, dont remember how much i paid but its on their website, full build im a couple grand in but the tune itself was about 300 bucks i believe not including shipping costs, high;y recommend modding the 500s, was already a good commuter but its a little more enjoyable now for sure (also have a zx14 with similar modifications)
I love this bike and would highly recommend it to anyone!
My 500 is still being broken in. I feel like it screams around 4k because I haven't adjusted the RPM indicator. I wonder if my SE will have a different sound after the adjustment.
Just buyed last week same colour se ....i love it....greatings
from Germany
Good choice! Thanks for watching!!
The Kawasaki green just pops and is such a nice looking color. The green stripes on the rims look nice
KRT is an excellent paint scheme!
Love the video, greetings from New York ❤️🤗
Hey! Thanks for watching. Hope to visit New York one day!!!
Awesome video, looking to buy one, all the way from Costa Rica👌🏼
Oh wow that’s awesome! What color do you want to get? Thanks for watching!
Performance wise, there is no difference between the 400 and 500.
I got the 2023 model, wanted something a little easier to ride than the zx6r for a daily commuter.
A few things you can do to get a bit more pep out of them.
Get a slip on exhaust, got one off of Amazon for $60 and the baffle removed, no need to buy the $400 leo, it doesn't change the sound one bit.
Replaced the velocity stacks from graves for $100, I also did an ECU flash and now you have a 130mph bike with quite a bit more overall performance.
I love this bike, I really want to do a ECU flash soon, my dream bike is a zx6r or 10r in a few years from now. Need to continue to get better! Thanks for watching!

I am a long time rider, have owned many bikes over the years.
I currently own a mint Honda VFR Interceptor, a 2024 ZX6R and a 2023 Ninja 400 with quite a few mods.
I'll be the first to tell you to stay away from the liter bikes, they are overkill.
The most fun bike I own is the Ninja 400, it has decent performance stock, my mods have added about 25% more power making is a very nimble sports bike.
The ZX6R is a beast even for someone like me who used to belong to the "Drop a gear and disappear" group, it's a very exiting bike for a day, the 400 is an exiting bike every day. Don't rush it and stay safe.
You should definitely be using the front brake more.
I do use it when I need to stop fast or when coming to a complete stop. I mostly use rear and engine breaking at first!
Great bike I have one myself and it is so much fun definitely has power gonna keep mine for a long time
It’s a great bike for sure, what color do you have? As this is my first bike I plan on keeping it forever tbh
@@MotoTSJ I got krt edition. I didn’t get the se model but the krt package and I got yoshi exhaust on the way
@@MotoTSJ also been watching you since the first video great videos been really enjoying it cause I got 1146 miles on mine also
Another good video. I like to watch another Idaho resident riding a similar bike. If I ever get out your way we should ride.
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you make it out this way and we can ride.
It's a super fun little bike, great starter I love mine. The Kawasak appi is useless on it.
It’s a great bike for sure! I can’t wait to get a faster one in a few years, that’s after I get more hours of practice on the bike still. Yeah I don’t use the app, pretty much doesn’t work.
This video is doing good! I want one so bad!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the help , want the anniversary edition asap ! lol Any tips on your recording setup , it sounds great 💯
No worries, the anniversary one is beautiful! Hope you get it soon! I have a video on my recording set up!
Moto, I have a 500 too...try Straight piping it, trust. thing SCREAMS
I’ll look into this! I love loud bikes lmao
600 miles is the break in that’s when you should change oil get that metal out
Correct I changed mine at 580!
No such thing as break in on modern motorcycles.. just ride it
Another banger vid
Thanks 🙏
Just got mine a month ago, do you have issues with the gears not shifting? I only have a few hundred miles but it seems like the gears stick sometimes, not sure what I'm doing wrong. Shifting is still foreign to me even after my MSF course 😅
Not clutching right, or foot is at awkward angle, and you think you're shifting hard, when you're really not.
@@JessicaSimonson1976 can you explain in more detail? I don't really know what you mean
@@VEXYLEXImaybe you're not pulling the clutch in completely, or when you shift, you dont do a whole click, but more of half a click. Let's say you're trying to shift from 3rd into 4th, you pull in the clutch and when you shift, dont shift hard enough so you go like in between 3rd and 4th gear. Sorry if you still cant understand, my english isnt that good
@@sid38743thank you that does help!
I'm guessing you're new at this, so a few pointers.
Make sure you got your foot at the right position, also make sure you fully pull and release the clutch.
New Bike? Keep this in mind, even though they say break in period is 500 miles, don't wait till you hit 500 miles, most of the break in is stuff will happen in the first 200 miles, so change your oil.
Replace the oil with full synthetic made for motorcycles, you have a wet clutch, so the oil needs to be good.
saving up for this beautiful bike.
Good choice! Keep saving bro!
Same, I can't wait 😋
My eyes where on this bike for so long but now im also looking at the CFMoto 450SR.
i can't choose....
I would go sit on both bikes to see which one is more comfortable. I went with Kawasaki due to these bikes being bullet proof!!
Great video man, im 17 and think this is gonna be my first bike. Any thoughts on some mods I should do ?
I have a video on the kids I’ve done for it already; I plan on adding a few more. Goodluck on getting your bike!
Just put deposit down 2days ago. Hopefully i don't have to wait long
Awesome! Congrats! Are you getting the KRT SE too?
@@MotoTSJ either go for the standard 500 or just get the 650, no reason to pay extra for the SE version
@@MotoTSJI got the 40th anniversary SE. I'm stoked
@@KasperWalterQ5I ended up buying the 40th anniversary SE. Also I put deposit down for the 25 650 in KRT
Just bought gear today and saving to get a 40th edition if it’s still available end of August
I just put a deposit on one yesterday. Although I was calling dealerships everywhere and hopefully it arrives. The colour scheme looks awesome and the rims on the 40th anniversary SE
It should be available, I’d contact your local dealership to get some information on it if so! Congrats on the gear and ride safe once you get your bike! Great choice!
fire vid brother
Thanks
What are frame siders? I’m getting this same exact one Friday! I can’t wait
Frame sliders on each side of the bike, they help protect your bike from damage when you tip or crash.
@@MotoTSJ oh okay sweet! I got the black and red one and I’m absolutely in love with it!!
Did you pass your DMV written test first try im getting a bike soon and I’m taking the test soon
Easy as balls
Test isn’t to hard, everyone in my group passed! The written test isn’t hard, common sense to be honest!
It wasn’t to bad at all!
My written test had 3 questions that had the same answer, they were just worded differently so beware of that
If you get hella money from this can you get me outta debt
Lil bro in debt 😂
$58/month insurance for a Ninja 500??? Yikes… I have an Aprilia Rs660 and I pay less than that… I think about $46/$47
@@SongJLikes i have some extra coverages and options 👍
Drop a link to the exhaust you have
It’s in another video of mine! Leovince exhaust install video
Would you daily this bike if the weather would allow it?
I do daily this bike, maybe one day a week I will drive my car to give her some love lol. I drive 12 miles to work and this bike is just fun to cruise around on!
@MotoTSJ thanks for the reply man. I plan on buying this bike instead of a new car. Do you mind me asking what the out the door price was?
