But the RPM limit would probably have to be lowered due to higher stress that the stroked engine would experience. For example the 58.6 mm stroked motor at 11,700 RPM would have piston travel (in feet per minute) of 4500 FPM vs the 400's 13240 RPM to reach the same 4500 FPM with the standard 51.8 mm stroke.
The above engine configuration lends to a 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250 top speed of 94.9–110 mph (152.7–177 km/h), a maximum horsepower of 32–45 bhp (23.9–33.5 kW) @ 11,000 RPM, and a torque output of 21.7–24 Nm (2.21–2.45 kgf-m, 16–17.7 lb-ft) @ 9,500–10,000 RPM. The upper limit values of these performance figures apply to units
#1 · Aug 10, 2018 Hey guys. I'm a brand new rider and I'd just like a little guidance. As I've never ridden a bike before now, I'm not used to a vehicle that operates at such high RPMs, and I feel like I'm not shifting at the correct times.
The Ninja 400 is about the same. Will get you where you need to go and be more forgiving than if you snag something bigger. I'd always recommend starting a bit smaller than going for a huge powerhouse out of the gate. It's more fun to ride something smaller to the full extent of its abilities than to baby a monster.
Engine vibration creeps through the controls north of 7,000 rpm, but considering the Ninja 400's bargain basement price of $4,999 we won’t deem this a knock. Our colleagues at motorcycle.com
