the engine braking is almost that of a two-stroke on such a small 400cc engine displacement , this makes the driving more difficult and so is the driver more deserving !!👍👍

engine breaking depend on inertia whole rotational weight in engine influding flywhell froction and couple other stuff …. and on displacement to rpm ratio 400 cc at 14 k rpm break stronger engine than me sv 650 at 7 krpm 🤭 ….it depend to what type of bike you comapre it naturally .

How is this 400 keeping up with the Ducati on the straights?
@RogueRider10004 жыл бұрын
Good question, could be on the power earlier & harder, the bike is lighter, i'm over the top on aero (super tucked in)
@shanecannon64264 жыл бұрын
My old zxr400 also kept up with a Ducati 748 on a track day. How? The zxr400 is very stable even when you accelerate very early away from corners. They also have good aero...with a small frontal area. Finally the engine power delivery and the gearing mean it keeps on the boil.. so the acceleration is good even at higher speeds. They are just a very good overall package.

Thanks! This was back when i had a stock ECU/CDI and no quickshift, the limit is 14.5k stock, so camera angle etc makes it look more. If you see them going more than that, it's likely to be fitted a programmable ECU/CDI.

I am a fan of the smaller 400 bikes; like NC30 or VFR400, and the FZR400 too. and this ZXR400 seems to kick but too. It is sad they didn't get that much attention in the American market after the early 90's... here, it seem big is all it is about; but that doesn't interest me as much as the smaller race bikes do.
@tw1st3d35 Жыл бұрын
I know it's an old comment but the reason they were not as popular in the US is because the US only has one "tier" for a motorcycle license while in Japan and Europe you have multiple, each limiting either the ccm you can drive or the power. So these bikes were usually driven by beginners and those that enjoyed the twisties. The US usually has straight roads and not that many twisties so the desired motorcycles are those that go fast in a straight line. Especially when you consider that US also has a big drag-racing culture while Europe and Japan is more about cornering. For me, the biggest thing is that they didn't make more of them and kept producing some of the more rarer replacement parts. Cheers!

Hi mate, do you still race? ive got a question do you use some sort of quickshifter or you just that skilled to change gears? because I cant really hear any gap between gear changes. Thanks and this is some proper racing here nice to watch ;)
@RogueRider10009 жыл бұрын
Michal Danko I do still race, check out my channel for the latest videos :) I didnt have a quickshifter in this video, just clutchless upshift, i.e. shut the throttle a fraction and shift with the lever (this works on the road bike too).I now have a quickshifter so i can hold the throttle open and not unsettle the bike by shuttling the throttle when changing gear mid-corner. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed! :)
@Mobilnykurnik9 жыл бұрын
DH Racing Thanks for a fast response ;) Ive been trying out all this clutchless shifts but they are not as good as yours haha probably all I need is more time riding and experience, but yeah you do it properly. I've got a question about the quickshifter...how does it work on carburettor bikes, as far as I know even if it cuts the ignition off for less then second it will still suck in the fuel+air mixture creating a loud explosion in the exhaust?. Thanks for reply and I will be waiting for more videos on board as well as from paddocks. Good Luck ;)
@RogueRider10009 жыл бұрын
Yep, just practise, a quick action throttle (mine is 1\4 turn) also helps, it means its just a twitch of the wrist and careful timing rather than an intentional close and re-open of the throttle. Quickshifter cuts the ignition on carb bikes, but only for milliseconds, I dont know what its like on a std ecu, as the zxr 400 normally sparks on the exhaust cycle for emission reasons, a programmable race ECU like mine doesnt, but it still gives a quiet pop rather than an explosion.
@Mobilnykurnik9 жыл бұрын
DH Racing Can my standard ECU be flashed to make it work with quickshifter or does it have to be "race" ECU specially made or smth?. What about brakes? I will shortly upgrade to zx10 mc and Hel brake lines, this should help me for more feel on the brake. If its alright could you tell me what do you run brake wise. Thanks
@RogueRider10009 жыл бұрын
Michal Danko not sure about the std ECU being flashed, not heard of it being done myself. I had a stock m/c in this video but i now have a brembo radial which for me gives much more braking power with less effort at the lever. If you havent already got steel braided brake lines on a 20y/o bike i would reccomend it, the old rubber brake hoses dont last forever.
@waybous9 жыл бұрын
It's just like cars, when you brake hard the rotor heats up and when you stop like at the light of a off ramp to a highway the pads keep the heat held into the rotor more than where the pads are not. That's why when you brake it shakes so hard, the pads and the caliper is moving over the thicker spot then to the thinner and at a really fast speed you have pulsation.
