I just picked up my 2022 Ninja 400 and your videos have been so helpful teaching me the ropes of my first bike. You are so patient and I feel as if you are talking to me in person. Fantastic videos.

glad you showed me, cuz its like riding a bucking bronc on my 400 when you down shift

Its crazy how the sound effects make you understand more lmao great vid

0:30 bros veins are CRAZY lol

Sun... you are an excellent educator. Great video and tutorial

Just bought a 2021 Ninja 400. I am a brand new rider and I've being watching your videos and learning a lot. Also will make same modifications you've done. Thanks for the content.

Thank you for the vid 🙏🏽 I thought rev matching was complicated but you made it seem so easy I can’t wait to try it out

6:17 the pop ... It gives me chills

Nice video.I have a Vulcan 500 that practically shares the same engine with the Ninja. Great to hear what rev matching should sound like.

Loving the sound effects

I so also recht Match in my Ninja 400 although the bike has the system as Hondas anti-hopping clutch so your bike doesn’t block your back wheel. That’s why rev matching exists in first place

I know I'm a bit late, but just happened upon your video today, and let me say this - this is some of the best blipping downshifts I've seen on Utube. And I cracked up when you made those little noises a couple of times. Hilarious!!! You are good! Thanks for the video. Really well done!

This was the best explanation of this I have found that actually helped me thanks dude👍

I just recently got a 400 and your videos are USEFUL AF now my problem is, I make sound efx too when I use the throttle HAHAHAHAHA

Rev matching is quality riding .. life without quality is just junk .. thumbs up Young King and good lesson brother ;]

I’m definitely gonna learn to Rev match when I get my first bike, it looks a lot easier than doing it the other way. This video definitely helped me understand a lot more! I really appreciate and enjoy your content 😁

Bro thank you so much. Other people's instructions confused me because I hear you need to do all 3 operations seperately by milliseconds. But doing them all at once makes sense and I can easily do it now. Thank you !!

All I do when riding mine is let up on the throttle little bit and let the cycle slow down a bit to let the rpms come into range of the next lower gear and slowly let up on the clutch and downshift to next lower gear, slowly release clutch and boom, no forward lurching. I suppose everyone else to their own but for me, no throttle necessary.

So in basic terms, when you down shift the motor wants to rev at higher RPM than it did the gear before, so you just up the RPM yourself while clutch is in before the motor has to. They should have auto throttle blip on the gear shifter.

TEACH ME KING

I hear it ! Load and clear! So smooth!

The boom boom boom would have been hilarious w the yoga guy from couples retreat 😭

For beginners.... we're taught not to let the clutch out so fast. It seems you're letting that thing right back out all the way. Do you have to do this in order to revmatch? Or can we let the clutch out slower? Obviously I can try this myself, but explaining would help other riders I'm sure.

the sound effects are my favorite

0:29 sick pump bro.

Holy crap. I thought your biceps was a bull's testicle at first. I'm like... "What the hell. Is that a bull's testicle on his mirrors?" Then you zoomed in "Ohh its his biceps" 🤣🤣

Dude you sound so much like a calmer version of H2ODelerious

Another great detailed video! Great job! 👍

That bicep vein looking menacing😂

I think he means lurch and it's getting at me.

Yoo I dont understand how a lil cartoon face got me crackin tf up lol ___________________dead.

Did my dawg zoom into the mirror to show his arm in the beginning 😂

this was the easiest explanation i have ever seen for rev matching

The pump bro had was ridiculous, he could have to the bike on his back if he wanted to

Oh my god I always understood rev matching but never understood how I always held the clutch in for a sec shifted up then let out clutch but it’s just 1 fast motion I would like not to hurt my car and bike so I just stoped with breaks and never tryed you expand so well thx

literally needed this thank you

You can do the same without the clutch as well. Slightly more advanced but something to work your way into eventually. Good video for the newer riders! Sub’d

bro strong as hell

Great video I know nothing about motorcycles and I am going to be learning from a friend and getting my permit. I learned a lot from this ! Can’t wait till I have a beginner motorcycle 🤝

Nothing sexier than rev match

Another reason for an up and down quick shifter. 😎😎

you really had to flex those biceps 🤣

this guy funny 😭 them sound effects

AM17...AND LUB BIKES...I DONT HAVE ANY RN...BUT I WILL BOUGHT 400 AS A STARTER...IDK WHY AM WATCHING UR VIDEOS MAYBE THEYRE AWESOME...THNX FOR THE INFO!

I can’t multitask 😫😂 this gon be hard for me

The bike I wanna buy with an amazing color to boot. Thanks for the lesson.

Spartan checking in! Gonna come in handy when I get my bike 🏍 thanks king 👑

Not the goddamn bicep in the rear view 😂

Thank you. I didn't know that. New rider here. I have a 2021 Z400

thank you super helpful, once I past my msg course in end of October I be getting my new ninja 400 2021 or 2022 but your videos are super helpful

Ninja 400 has a slipper clutch, so you shouldn't be having much need for this unless you are just cramming the gears.

natural in the gym and a natural on a bike... Ride on Brother *sungymsalute*

Mahn your muscle💪💪💪💪💪

My Bro! I only watch the first 1:30 of the video and i had to like it 👍🏿 great editing and explanation really helpful and highly appreciated!💪🏿Ride Safe Everyone!

1:24 Sound effects😂😂🤣

okay just got back from a ride and gave this a try, my downshifting absolutely improved! fellow beginners, if you don't yell BOOM it wont work ;P

The Ninja400 has a slipper clutch, so rev matching is not necessary. At least that's what I've been told. It's ok to do and a good skill to have, nice video and the bike sounds good

hello just want to ask is it normal to feel a little lurk after rev matching ?

😂 😂 😂 at the bicep zoom in. U little my guy. jk bro. Keep the gains up and nice bike

I certainly wouldn’t want my bike to lurk on me. I think he was trying to say lurch

What exhaust system?

so when you downshift you roll on the throttle a lil and when you go up go roll off the throttle

Got an old ass ninja 300 till I get my full license (stupid Australian laws) and this would be nice to learn for life I reckon

Just an ugh 🤘🏾 rip mac dre n drakeo

0:29 GYAAT DAMN

Wish I knew this when I had my z400 with the same exhaust.

I think ninja 400 has slipper clutch which solves that.

Had to zoom in on the bicep rq 💀

It just takes a lot of practice to get the muscle memory, timing, and coordination. After a while you won't even think about it, and it's a transferrable skill to all bikes. Real mastery is learning to do it with hard braking. The trick is to use your index and middle finger to squeeze the brake lever, and twist the throttle letting the underside of your fingers slide on the lever, while maintaining constant pressure. It sounds nuts and your first attempts will be ugly as shit, but again with practice you'll be braking hard and downshifting like a boss.

youre jacked man

Thanks

So pretty much your pulling the cluth while you flick the throttle at the same time

when you downshift at speed do you not need to release the clutch slowly?

So this is when youre on higher speeds like you said? You cant practice this 50 mph or lower due to rpms needing to be on thw high side correct? This coming from a somewhat new rider. Had my 21 ninja 400 with only 37 miles on it still. Goes to show how much I ride it

doesn't the shift have to be done a fraction of a second after you rev match and squeeze the clutch, or am I literally aiming for it all to be done at the same time?

Nicely compiled

Clutch less rev match down shift like a quick shifter let's see that

1:23 when you're just inside vs when you're done 🤣🤣

I learned something new everyday thanks man

Cool video lad! 400s are awesome !

I actually clicked because the woman in the picture look like my english teacher. Now I wanna buy a bike 😂

Thanks for the teaching! I am using the same slip on as yours. Do you have gas leaking on the connection between slip-on and mid-pipe when you rev the bike?

Thank you so much!

Your downshifts are so fucking crisp, I need that shit in my life. Before I go ride my ninja 400 I'll watch this whole thing again cause damn your good.

Is it just a slip on exhaust? Which one is it?

are they good for short people who are 5ft 1

Watch the RPM....TRUCK!

Thank you!

5:37 damnn

I know this is an old video but do you rev match for up shifting?

Her bike is Kiki and my name is Tiki hahaha 😆😂🤣😅😄😜😆😂🤣

Just got my 400 and I know this is going to help so much!!! Thank you again brother your videos are my favorite 😤💪🤍🙌

If I don't get the "Aaaaaaaaa" sexiness with the new exhaust, I ain't buy it.

It won't "lurch" or jump forward when downshifting, the bike will jerk back (slower) due to engine braking.

0:30 bro is flexin his bies

Can you rev match up like you do down ?

Going for permit now because of gas prices. First-time rider. Male, 50, law enforcement. Would you suggest a 400 as well? Don't know if cruiser, cafe, or sport.

Can you skip the gear tho? Example 4 down to 2 with only one clutch pull and revmatch

just "ehh.." not "eeeeehhhh...." so understandable to the point where my wife look at me with "that" look

A real Ninja will lurk but a Ninja 400 will lurch 😉 But great rev matching bud.
