Adjusting the Air screws on the ninja sounds to me like what is needed on the video.... their just a tad too lean....
I set mine to what the manual said and regretted it it didn't even want to start !
but after opening up each air screw 1/2 turn it started to run fairly good
but you need to watch the tach and turn the air screw and peak the RPM's while adjusting the air screws... I used the smallest slot screw driver tip of my bit-type screw driver and turned it with a long pare of needle nose plyers from under the carbs the left one was easy , the right one was a real P.I.T.A on my bike.... but using a small bit type screw driver tip worked for me after I ground it a small amount on the sides to fit into the hole where the air screws are...
.... I added a nut to the bottom of the bit to make it bigger in diameter to turn it easier which helped alot... I just crushed the nut onto the bit with the bench vice.
.....good luck !
