Overview
The Kawasaki Ninja 400R is a sportbike produced from 2011 to 2013. For 2013, it uses a 399.0 cm³ liquid-cooled, fuel-injected parallel twin rated at 43 hp (32 kW), with 37.0 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm; wet weight is 203.0 kg.
The 790 mm seat height and 203.0 kg wet weight are useful figures to keep in mind when balancing the bike at a stop or maneuvering it in a tight space. Its torque peaks at 7,500 rpm, so the strongest pull arrives with the engine revving, while the 15.50-liter tank and EPA-estimated fuel consumption of 4.09 L/100 km correspond to a calculated range of about 379 km. Rear spring preload is adjustable, allowing the suspension to be set for different loads, and ABS was optional.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Useful calculated range
The 15.50-liter tank and EPA-estimated 4.09 L/100 km consumption work out to about 379 km on a full tank.
Adjustable rear preload
The rear shock's adjustable spring preload lets you adapt the suspension setup when the load changes.
Twin front discs
Two 300 mm front discs provide braking at both sides of the front wheel.
Things to consider
Chain maintenance
The chain final drive needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
ABS is optional
Not every 2013 Ninja 400R has ABS, so the feature depends on the individual bike.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
