About the Kawasaki Eliminator 400

Overview

The Kawasaki Eliminator 400 is a motorcycle from Kawasaki. It is currently on sale. With a 399 cc engine it sits in the 250–450 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 399 cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 45 PS at 9,000 rpm and 42.6 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (70 mm x 58.6 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 256 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is genuinely fast, well beyond everyday traffic speeds. The claimed top speed is 160 km/h. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

Its frame is trellis, high tensile steel. Suspension is by telescopic fork, 120 mm travel at the front and swingarm, 90 mm travel at the rear. Braking is by a 310 mm disc at the front and a 240 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 18-inch front and 16-inch rear alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 130/70-18 at the front and 150/80-16 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 735 mm off the ground, which is low and makes it easy to put your feet down. It weighs 176 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. Ground clearance is 150 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 2,250 mm long, with 1,520 mm between the axles. It carries 13 L of fuel.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes a digital instrument console and an LED headlamp.

Who it suits

Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders. With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.

Maintaining the Kawasaki Eliminator 400

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Disc, 310 mm and Disc, 240 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 130/70-18 / 150/80-16 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Kawasaki Eliminator 400 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
OHC / SOHC / DOHC
How the engine's valves are operated. OHC and SOHC mean one overhead camshaft; DOHC means two, which usually allows higher revs and more power from the same size.
Fuel injection
Petrol is delivered by an electronically controlled injector instead of a carburettor, which helps with easy starting and steady fuel economy.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Trellis frame
A frame built from tubes arranged in triangles, which gives strength without much weight.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
