[@PrometheanVision]

Total lack of attention to detail, with the installation of the tank grips.

[@mrhassell]

Couple more you could've added but the main ones are there. Good job, great bike!

[@tima7662]

One other necessary mod, adjustable levers. Makes a big difference. Well then go nuts! Full exhaust, new velocity stacks, Block off plate, MWR air filter and tune by TST, Norton racing, Moore Mafia, insert whoever your favorite tuner is, rear sets and of course 520 chain conversion! Hey, I have done 3/4 of these! Just need case covers, rear sets and 520 chain/sprocket and I'm done! Thing is, less likely to get speeding tickets and it still gets 55-60mpg. Plus it would be fun on track. If I had one closer than 200 miles that is!

[@antoniobaak146]

performance air filters are a scam

[@lunathehusky5836]

How are frame sliders not on this list 😂😂😂

[@killerwowmaster]

frame sliders suck to install compared to the rest of these accessories, requires taking the main fairings off the bike

[@HeldIntegral]

[@reyorocio7446]

Because they are trying to sell you useless case covers that’s why

[@zannyreflections9651]

I just sold my 400 today my first bike, I probably dropped/knocked it over 10 times I wish someone had told me about frame sliders lmfao

[@ShinkuGouki]

​@@killerwowmaster How experienced are you? Frame sliders are far better than every mod this guy suggested. Fairings get destroyed after dropping a bike,while an engine cover just gets a few scratches

[@yeahitskimmel]

Can't decide the bigger crime between the grip alignment or vampire splices and cheapo LEDs

[@Brimoe18]

He also only sprayed alcohol above where he applied them 😂

[@ShinkuGouki]

They think those grips look cool,they don't. And they make the function of the bike worse.

[@ShinkuGouki]

I can't believe he thinks these mods are "necessary." The engine covers are an absolute waste of time and money. Get sliders instead,that's way better bike protection. I've been in 6 motorcycle crashes,the worst thing that happens to those engine covers is a few scratches. Fender eliminators are a downgrade. Dude got rid of the nice,wide blinkers for "blinkers" that blink in the center 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ Also,the license plate is more visible with the stock fender. Visibility is CRUCIAL when riding. Exhaust mods are the worst for any bike under 600 CCs. A 400 with a loud exhaust sounds like a modded weed wacker. Not only that,you will make the bike illegal in many states by making it louder. Next he's going to say that the next best mod is removing the mirrors. Guys,I've known many many many riders that have done this krap,all you're doing is wasting money and ruining the bike. And those tank grips are the biggest gimmick. Kawasaki has great bike designs with great ergonomics,those tank grips just grip your jeans when you don't want them to. Good riders need to slide occasionally from one side to the other. On hot sunny days when your bike is under the sun,the adhesive from the grips bIeeds,and that rubber gets soggy and sticky and drippy over time. I have 700K miles of riding experience on 10 different motorcycles,7 of which I owned over a 9 year time span. These mods are an absolute waste of time and money. I didn't expect this from a channel with this many subscribers.

[@karlfonner7589]

Yammie! do you sell the case covers? you know I’m a big fan of yours

[@Mike40M]

One thing I did to my 300 was fitting a gear indicator. Easy to install. Recommended. Has grips and case covers. Fitted a lighter muffler as the original was too close to my boots. Don't have a tail tidy 'cause I use the hooks on the tail to fasten luggage.

[@indiadeadly]

The 400 already has a gear indicator

[@NotSoKrazee77]

I replaced the original swing arm with a custom one and extending it by 5 cm.. I shaped it to resemble the R6 swing arm but only wide enough to accommodate a 160 tire.. Although it feels more stable during cornering and looks more stylish, I don't recommend anyone to follow..

I prefer the TST integrated tail light and plate mount. Looks so much cleaner imo. Never been a fan of the plastic turn signal plate that NRC uses, just looks cheap

Wouldn't frame sliders be long enough where you don't need the case cover also if you drop the bike.

The blinkers are too close together on that tail tidy. Gives no idea which way you're going to turn for the driver behind.

[@MotoJournoKris]

Never use resistors for switching to LED indicators, just buy an LED relay for $10-20 bucks and plug it in.

[@FrameGame1]

Why?

[@MotoJournoKris]

Why would you splice four resisters in, which create heat and potential failure points, when you could just replace the rely at almost no cost, and it just plugs in to replace the old one. @@FrameGame1

[@Kingepticon]

These are all fine upgrades but the real first 3 upgrades are, and there is a huge gap between #1 and #2 & 3: 1. Tires - The biggest difference in performance and it’ll be immediately noticeable is a nice set of soft tires. It’s really a night and day difference. 2. Fender eliminator kit - Stock is horrendous back there. We all know it. 3. Slip-on exhaust - It’ll sound substantially better with a lower growl and it’ll look a lot better. Being lighter than the stock exhaust is a nice bonus.

[@AJ-bf1gz]

What tires would you recommend? Cost not being an issue.

[@SahilTurakhia]

What’s the benefit of a case cover?

[@Dsanrides]

More importantly a clutch return spring. These 400 clutches are so soft, the wind will engage them. They don’t have enough spring to ever fully disengage. Many unsuspecting owners have burnt their clutches way too fast because of this.

Owo, thanks for the info. Wasn't aware the clutch could engage from direct wind. Do you recommend a spring or a clutch cover?
