Hey everyone! I just wanted to throw it out there that I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon and I really just want to enjoy this bike to its limit even though I know i havent reached its full potential and I will try to! I've test rode a zx6r and a zx4rr and I definitely had more fun on the zx4rr which convinced me to go all out with this bike! Thanks for watching and all the inputs. Good or bad, I appreciate it all! Ride Safe!
I like the Small ninjas, but I wouldn’t dream of putting money into a bunch of performance mods. By the time you’re done, you’ve spent a total of what you could use to buy a 600.
@@Sayo.451 at that point you’re buying 17 yr old bike. A newer 500 plus all the mods could easily be north of 8-9k. Why chase all of that for 130mph when you can buy a 2016 zx6r and hit 130 in 4th gear?
@@captainyami4605 easily north of 8-9k?.. idk about that one. It only costs a little over 1k for the upgrades. Base 500s abs are $5600. Uhh let's just say if it did cost over 8-9k, I wouldn't even be doing it as well. Also, can a new rider just adjust properly to handling faster bikes? Hmmm.
@@Sayo.451 Yours looks newer so i assumed you bought it brand new with dealer fees etc. People have this idea that you cant learn on faster bikes, but its easy to control 600s. Nothing crazy happens until you get to 9-10k rpm. You could ride a 600 like its a 300. Much harder to do on a 1000 but its easy to ride a 600 if you aren’t a 16 yr old trying to hit 160 before you know how to corner.
I'd say you would atleast need a long road or slight down Hill at the least. I haven't tried it enough on different roads. Hit it a few times but yknow, gotta be safe too lol
Yeah man, instead of constructive criticism, it's just disrespect. Funny thing is, if you met these people at a bike meet, they would probably be friendly and helpful, but online everyone is a smug prick.
@brente275 you're 100% right man lol It took me a couple videos to realize that. I use to try clap back but I had to remind myself to just relax and people are sometimes just being a prick online lol
You should have been about 120-125 stock.....with 51HP. So 130 not impressed. Dyno it I bet you lost torque switching sprockets. Sprockets swaps usually lose torque in favor of speed or loose speed in favor of torque. That is how that works. The 450SS with full system exhaust and ecu flash can hit upwards 140 mph. Stock about 125 where it drops off.
@@JessicaSimonson1976 it does get there stock. However I don't have a road long enough to try or atleast I don't wanna travel to a road long enough to try. So I specifically use the road I have and judge the bike according to how far I can push it. The 450ss definitely has a higher top speed. However I don't remember talking about the cfmoto in this video. I like to make videos on my progress on these bikes cause it's fun to try as a new rider. Also because there's a lot of folks who just talks about it. I rather be the guy who actually does it and show it. 😀
Kind of pointless. My 23' n400 i sold a few months ago got me to 124mph. 180lbs. Also you need focus on shifting better, the bike shouldn't sound like that. You're destroying the clutch.
@@superduperkid3143 each to their own. Thanks for the advice! Never really knew if I was shifting good or not. Could explain why I'm starting to get clutch slips lol
@@TheJonazas I always assumed I was holding the clutch in for too long but wasn't sure since nobody ever pointed it out. Honestly thank yall for saying it lol. Now I know
@@Sayo.451 It looks like you often shift without pulling out the throttle all the way and not fully activating the clutch. No need to do it that fast. Spend like half a second longer each gear shift, so you can properly activate the clutch and release gas.
They hit 130 in kph. If you want a good insight on estimating as close as possible from kph to mph, you can divide or multiply 1.609. I actually hit a bit over 130 kph on third gear. It's a full Toce exhaust. Very loud. Had to insert db killer lol
How stupid considering this is only a 451cc engine and not a 500. I mean that's Kawasaki's fault to lie about it, but the people that buy it and think it's a 500cc and then make a few mods to call it a 5RR. Dumb.

Does it hit 130 easily or is that redlined? 127 is achievable stock
I'd say you would atleast need a long road or slight down Hill at the least. I haven't tried it enough on different roads. Hit it a few times but yknow, gotta be safe too lol
can confirm, 130 - 131 is probably redlined
I have hit 106 mph at redline 5th gear on my 450SS....
@@JessicaSimonson1976 I hit 113 on 5th
@@Sayo.451 I never hit my max speed in 6th gear.....but I know 450SS will pass cars all day long on Hwy. As I do a lot of riding on Hwys.

I was able to achieve 130 on my ninja 400 with no aftermarket parts
@@gxchronicle8298 the ninja 400 runs a 41 rear teeth sprocket which helps it reach higher top speeds. However it takes a bit to get there.
@@Sayo.451and it has 2 more cylinders
Ninja 400 is twin, ninja 4xrr is inline 4, ninja 500 aka 451 should run same as the 400 on paper specs are pretty close.
Congratulations

Watch some indian guy review ninja 500, they hit 130 in 3rd gear easily and shift a lot better.
Also, what ia this exhaust, looks pretty cool

Dude, you really need to learn how to shift.
@@josephrobin6852 yup. Few mentioned
@@josephrobin6852 also feel free to give helpful tips on what I'm doing wrong during shifting.

How did you predict my future. My next plan is a quick shifter and I'm calling it a zx5rr lmao
