Howdy people, am a brand new rider, passed the MSF course as a feel-out to see if I wanted to get into the hobby, turns out.. I did! Just picked up a 2020 ninja 400 in white about a week ago now and have been doing a ton of little QoL mods to it. Consider this an introduction as well as a thread...

I’m a brand new rider and I’d like to find a riding mentor in Caldwell ID to help me out. I plan on taking the IdahoSTAR course, but some road riding experience would be helpful with a seasoned rider. Send me a DM if you’re in the area.

Hello guys, reading these forums, this community is great and i’m finally purchasing my first bike this week. I have a new 2022 ninja 400 abs lined up to buy but i stumbled upon a 2015 honda cbr500r. the reason i’m interested is the higher displacement, and also it’s about $1500 cheaper. it has...

Hey all! My name is Megan and I just bought this 2021 Ninja 400! I am new to riding, so I'm still trying to build up my confidence! I'm pretty short at 5'0 and when sitting on the bike at the current stock height, I'm on my tippy toes! Does anyone have any tips, tricks or confidence boosters for...

A while back I was torn between a 650 and a 400 and I ended up buying a 400. My fiancé recently decided she wants to get a bike and learn to ride. I love my 400 but occasionally still ponder on the 650. So my dilemma, should I buy another 400 for her and have matching bikes that will make...

I'm sending this message out for my GF whose been riding for the last year on her 2020 Ninja 400. She just went over 4,000 miles today. I've taken her on a number of group rides, now she's ready to meet fellow riders in her area (typically Meyerland and sometimes Copperfield). So, who's in...

Hello everyone! just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully see any fellow riders in the NorCal or San Francisco area. Bought my first bike on Saturday. I’m trying to break it in and get to the 600 miles, I already have 250 in 😅 looking forward to hearing from you all! J

Hi all, I got my first motorcycle, a used Z400, last week. I'm still getting used to it, taking it slow and practicing throttle control, rev matching, low speed manuvers, and all the basics. The amount of engine braking feels extreme but the only thing I have to compare it to is cars so I guess...

Hi all, and happy New Years !!! New rider here from Houston Tx Just took the MSF course and finally got my motorcycle license. Looking forward to meeting new ppl and learning as much as I can from the more experienced members of the forum. Recently purchased my baby a 2021 ninja 400 abs in...

Hi guys, Recently bought my first bike and it's a 2020 Ninja 400!! Bought it from the dealer. Currently did 140KM on it! So far its an amazing bike, still in the break in period so can't say to much about the performance, but the bike feels great! Well glad to be a new member!

Hello fellow Ninja 400 owners. I'm just your friendly neighborhood racially ambiguous fat man who hasn't had a haircut since the corona-virus started to hit the news and we were all forced to stay home. About a week ago I was just an ordinary, motorcycle-less pleb, going about my lonely...

Hi, I'm a relatively new rider. It's been several months since I bought my Ninja 400. I've noticed that tight right turns are more difficult to do small than left turns. I'm essentially doing the same thing: look right, turn right; look left, turn left. But, I find myself occasionally...

I got my Ninja 400 in October last year. In Indonesia, it is actually a 250cc but I reckon it’s the same bike just with lower displacement. Went with ABS SE, 2018 model year. Got into the hobby because of a friend who rides Ninja 300 (250 also)... Technically my second bike, although my first is...

Hi everyone! I'm a first time rider and picked up my '18 Ninja 400 last month. So far I've done about 100 miles in the few times I've been out and I'm absolutely loving the bike ? I'm currently in the process of breaking it in as I'm effectively the first owner, the actual first owner only put...
