TST WORX Airbox for Kawasaki Ninja 500 2024+

This whole kit is perfectly engineered. Fitment was on point for every single connection/line-up point. Installing the unit was a really fun learning experience. As a first-time motorcycle owner, it expanded my knowledge of my bike specifically, but motorcycles in general. Bart's video on installing the unit was done really well and provided a lot of the necessary guidance to successfully complete the install. The stage 3 tune was instantly noticeable upon first ride after install. You can feel the power/torque increase and the difference in throttle come-on/decel smoothness. Removing the ECU(if you choose to get the tune) is another challenge if you've never taken a bike apart, but it was super gratifying once complete. There's not a ton of in depth guides that provide step-by-step ECU removal/install(at least that I could find). So take a lot of photos as you go so that you can reassemble properly. Use the service manual if you own it. There was an issue with the shipping company upon return of my ECU. They absolutely manhandled the package, resulting in a small bit of damage to the ECU connector. TST customer service worked with me to remedy the issue and ultimately I'm very happy with the entire experience. Shout out to Nate in customer service for his positive attitude and helpfulness. Sometimes as a consumer, when you have an issue with a purchase, they treat you like you're just a problem. TST empathized with my situation and guided me through solving it. Top-notch people to do business with!

Advantages: Enhanced power, torque, throttle smoothness and fan cooling. Also, a very fun learning experience.

Disadvantages: It takes a lot of time, patience and research to properly take the bike apart and put it back together at that level if you've never worked on a bike. I personally see all of that as an advantage since I enjoy learning and performing mechanical work. Some may see it as a disadvantage.
