2024 Ninja 500 Velocity Stack Testing & Tuning 

There's an engine builder that's got a "superbike package" for this Ninja 500 (previously they had a lot of experience with the 400) which runs increased compression, head porting, valve seat grinding, cams, and the modifications similar to 2wdw and they are quoting 69-70 hp. That would be incredible for this machine, probably not much past 355-360 lb wet. Can't imagine how that would cut up the curves, like a feather.

Not very often you see velocity stacks add that much power without taking some away from another range in the rpm band. That curve looks incredible for a ´starter´ bike. Awesome stuff.

This is seriously the best content. Down to earth, quick to the point and super informative. You rock dude

Fantastic videos! Definitely has me considering getting a 500 I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos

Great videos!!! Keep em coming👍👍👍

These videos are gold. I’m getting the ninja 500 soon and these help me see what I can do to it

Are you going to open up the air box like the 400s ? Would like to see if it gains anything.

What was the top speed after all the work and tune?

Still pissed I spent money on a Sprint filter based on another tuners recommendation knowing now stock one is just fine. 😮

So what’s the top speed?

Are you slowly turning the throttle or quickly full throttling it? Either way I was hoping the 500s sounded better than that.

Are you guys going to do the same thing for the aprilia 45 7?

Would love to see you guys tune the new Aprilia RS457

Would the Akrapovic full exhaust from the 2023 400 fit the 2024 ninja 500?

Would the full exhaust and flash or full exhaust + stacks and flash require a new clutch or have any effect on reliability of the bike? My intention would be a fun daily commuter no track (don’t need EVERYTHING out of the bike)

I really hope it’s possible to raise the redline.

I bet with a full exhaust and tail tidy it’s only around 360 lbs wet… 57 whp is also a lot, the Ninja 650 from 2WDW here only made 63 whp with a flash and a full exhaust and it weighs a fair bit more, although it does make a fair bit more torque. Kawasaki’s smaller engine is one wicked performer. I bet in a roll race the Ninja 650 can’t pull on this, especially since a stock Ninja 650 makes the same whp as this Ninja 500…

Cant believe 50cc can change an engine this much

Yes!!!
