Very nice. Custom paint and pipe, one of a kind!

It is just a wrap on the bike, all of the original krt decals are under it. Thought it might help with resale if it still had the original stickers, but it really may not matter too much as I don't really have any plans on selling it.
I always try to make everything I own just a little bit different from all the rest on the street

Took a two hour drive into the mountains, and of course neglected to shoot some pics, but I did get a shot of my neat odometer number before I left:

@yarddog You got that sucker over so far your hero knob is dragging. Nice work.

It did drag just a touch through that turn. It’s such a tight road, I would have been running 40-45 mph at that point, maybe less.


edit, if you look closely at my foot, you can see the toe portion of the sole is ground down. i can't keep my foot from dragging at this lean angle, unless i pull my foot far enough back on the pegs that i cannot shift or use the rear brake lever comfortably. rear sets are on my mind, but i do not want to be cramped up on the bike. never had this issue on my Ninja 650, or Ninja 250.

Cool!

And you can meet so many interesting people there as well.

Really that’s my favorite part. After dark drinking beer and walking around talking to other riders. Seeing the odd and vintage bikes in person. You see bikes that are worth more than a ninja 400 that’s for sure.

A couple of pictures of my KRT

Cool decals. I do advise you two things though;


Change your brake fluid, as it is black from the picture at least and wont help you in the case of emergency.
And, take off the frame sliders, or at least put a shorter pair instead. From bad experience, my frame tube was bent with no so much of a different pair.

My reservoir looks just like that and mine only has 3k miles. Can’t really tell from looking at the res.

Funny, I just flushed the brake fluid out of both our N400's and our dirt bike. My wife's Ninja is just one year old with 10k miles. The fluid was super black, I did not notice it too bad until I opened up the reservoir. My Ninja is 10 month old with 3k miles and the fluid was almost perfectly clean. The other thing I noticed was that I had a few micro bibles in my system. That is twice I have purged the air out of mine...very strange....

I think it is mostly the picture and the brake reservoir. The fluid doesn't look quite so bad if removing the cap and looking at the fluid. The bike has around 3k km on it. Going to do a oil change next week and may flush out the brakes then just to be sure

I have mine since May 18' and I changed two times already. The first was somewhere in November if I remember right, and the last time was in August - as it wasn't dark and still yellowish, you could tell the difference between it and the new brake fluid i've put. I also checked it with brake fluid tester pen, which showed it exceeded 3% water.
Never wait for the '2 year' bs cycle they write in the manuals, it'll be bad long before you get there.

It's been a while since I've posted an update, busy with exams and life in general, but here's a few pics of the bike!

Rode a 460 km (285 mile) round trip to Phillip Island and back on my bike, with a good mate on his Ninja 300 last week, to watch the MotoGP race. Broke up the trip with a stop in the middle to stretch, and surprisingly the 400 is fairly comfortable for long journeys, was really enjoyable.

Also had the privilege to ride the Great Ocean Road in Victoria for the first time, which is only about an hour ride from where I am. My god it's beautiful, and a dream to ride - will definitely be back again soon.


Hope you're all doing well!

Great pic Kiwi, your bike looks fantastic. Looks like you're running an aftermarket shock, is that a K-Tech?

Thanks, it contrasted well against the white of my van.
Yep, K-tech.
