The Thermo-bob-3 for the Ninja seems it couldn't work the same way, as the bypass line is the small diameter line on the side of the thermostat. Just as the...

Has anyone tried a cheaper alternative to the thermo-bob?
Since any motorcycles do have a thermostat bypass line, is it possible to use a thermostat housing for or from another bike? Would it...

Slim Michelin offerings for pregen
It's too bad Michelin doesn't offer more for our 1st gen Ninjas.
The Michelin Commander 2 cruiser tire is extremely well reviewed, available in a rear size 130/90-16 73h, and seems to have a...

I'd expect that naked it would run cooler in traffic or at low speeds and stops with more air cooling. With fairings the electric fan might kick on more often in heavy stop and go traffic. Running...

I thought I heard that iridium plugs can often used a larger gap than standard copper plugs. I may be wrong about that but thought it was possible due to the smaller, more focused electrodes being...

How does someone straighten out a twisted fork?
It seems most likely that one or both fork tubes are bent near the lower triple clamp. (I'm guessing or hoping the stanchions aren't bent and...

Chain adjustment without a center stand
I bought my Ninjette without a center stand. I don't want to mess with lifting the bike everytime I check or adjust the chain slack. I've been keeping the chain slack 35-45mm and adjust it to...

Rusted gas tanks
Rusted gas tanks can be a big problem as others have explained, but for someone who enjoys mechanical work, they can be a bargain. I was given an old Hyosung gt250 with a badly rusted gas tank for...

Bikes that have been dropped
I wouldn't necessarily exclude all bikes that have signs that they've been dropped. Low cost small bikes like ours are often used by many new riders and are likely to have been dropped.
