a friend of mine is looking to get into riding, so i offered him my bike. wasn't sure on a fair price. i was going to give it to him for around 2k but i figured i'd see what the wise ninjette crew thought of it.

2009 ninja 250 w/ around 15k miles

mods:
- rear raised, front dropped. 23d rake
- r1 rear shock with r1 knuckle and custom adjustable dogbones
- rearsets, clipons, adjustable Chazzo levers (chinese pazzo replicas from thetwowheels guy)
- yoshi full exhaust with tcr SS can. dyno tuned by dealer, stock airbox, cali emissions removed
- steel braided brake line in front
- hotbodies undertail, front fender (race glass), tinted wind-screen (no defects)
- brand new bt45 tires (about 300 miles on them)
- bi-xenon 6700 hid with mechanical brights from a mini-cooper
- crotch of tank covered in 3m protective clear film

service:
- regular oil changes, coolant flushed, both brakes have new fluid and pads
- 7500mi valve adjust was fine, on the second valve adjust had to go down 0.01mm shims.
- chain is starting to get a little old, but still rust free and in generally good condition. sprocket teeth still straight and undamaged. probably could use chain and sprockets in the next 5k or 10k miles though

damage:
- scratches on the exhaust, peg, and a small crack on the right fairing from a slow drop + spin on the peg. peg is bent in 1 degree (measured) at about 2mm on the end. doesn't cause any clearance issues and is pretty hard to see if you dont have it off the bike on a flat surface
- could use a new cct. kinda noisey.
- the grips are kinda not in the best shape... probably should be replaced... they only cost like $20 for decent ones though
- the caps that cover the swing arm and frame bolts were stolen
- the ninja sticker on the right side is gone
- it could use a bath
