For Japanese domestic market version sold since 2011, see Kawasaki Ninja 400R.
The Kawasaki Ninja 400 is a 399 cc Ninja seriessport bike introduced by Kawasaki in 2018 originally. It was then recreated as a successor to the Ninja 300.[2][4][6] It launched with the 2018 model year.
The Ninja 300 was struggling through Euro 4 emission standards compliance. Therefore, Kawasaki decided to replace it with the Ninja 400 for the 2018 model year. It also has significant upgrades in engine, frame, suspension, and other parts.
The new bike's styling is similar to Ninja H2 and Ninja ZX-10R (Such as ‘chin-spoilers’ below twin headlamps) and dashboard (information gauge cluster) from Ninja 650. Despite having larger displacement, it is 17.6 lb (8.0 kg) lighter than the Ninja 300.[1][4] It has a steel trellis frame with engine as a stressed member resulting in weight reduction of 6 kg (13 lb) and LED headlights and taillights.[7][6] The engine has a large air-box for intake efficiency along with downdraft air intake. Seat height is 30mm lower than Ninja 300, improving stand-over.[6] It is available with ABS and comes equipped with a slipper clutch. The pull on the clutch is 20% lighter than that of the Ninja 300.[7][6]
The suspension is stiffer than the Ninja 300 with a larger (41 mm) fork. There are stiffer 5-spoke wheels, similar to the Ninja 650, resulting in low unsprung weight and better cornering stability than predecessors.[6]
