Picked up a 2009 Ninjette with 4.4K miles on it from a friend who was leaving the country. He had it for 9 months. The guy he bought it from set it up for his wife: lowered it, put on ground effects LEDs, rear turns and tail light LED replacement, and a Danmoto GP style can muffler.
I raised the rear end back to stock and "fixed" the LED tail/turns that didn't blink properly. The dude forgot to replace the flasher with LED compatible one. I also started removing the ground effect LEDs since I was under the seat and battery area and could get to the controller.
Next area of "improvement" was to de-bark the Danmoto can. I checked their website and they make a drop in baffle that is supposed to help a bit. From what I've read from others it provides about a 10% drop in volume. I'm hoping it clips the bark a bit. I'm not against loud pipes. I do own a Yamaha 1600 Road Star (metric hog) with straight pipes, but this dang Ninjette was louder. :)
Application was simple drop in after removing the can. Haven't fired it up as it's raining frogs and alligators here in FL right now.
See attached pix.
Next "fix" is to enriching the fuel flow...
