I wish I could do the maintenance myself, but I'm an amateur at motorcycle maintenance.I think it's the right thing to pay and leave it to the professionals rather than just messing around with it.
When the multi-bar holder of DAYTONA is attachedI had to unscrew the clamp that held the handlebar in place before I could install it myself.I'm not sure how tight the screws are.So, when I went for an oil change, I ended up having it adjusted with the regular tightening torque.
Incidentally, I was told at the time that the correct answer was 2.5 kgf-m.
Replacing the air cleaner elementI thought I'd do it myself.I'm a little nervous.I asked the dealer to do the work for me.
At that time. ”It's pretty hard to do it yourself." So, I asked the dealer to show me a copy of the service manual:......
Oh, this is a bad idea to maintain it without a manual.
I felt that it was a good idea. If I hadn't seen this manual, I would never have drained the water/oil from the drain hose.......orz
However, this is a service manual. If you want to buy it, the price is quite high. By the way, here's how it looks on Amazon.
Hmmm. It's a bit expensive...... It's for the Ninja 650, but should be basically the same as the Ninja 400.
I compared and contrasted the air cleaner element removal and installation instruction page, and found that the number of pages and instructional pictures are slightly different from the Japanese version, but it basically says the same thing.
Okay, I'm gonna go buy a torque wrench.
