Overview
The Kawasaki ZZR 400 is a sportbike in the ZZR family, produced from 1995 to 1997. For 1997, it has a liquid-cooled 399.0 cm³ inline-four producing 40 hp (30 kW), with a dry weight of 195.0 kg.
A 780 mm seat height can make ground reach easier for many riders, while the 195.0 kg dry weight can take more effort to manage in tight, slow-speed maneuvers. The 18 L fuel tank holds a substantial amount of fuel, and the double front discs provide braking from two discs at the front; chain final drive requires periodic cleaning and adjustment.
