First Ninjette! Very fun!

I bought an 06 Ninja 250 on CL for $360 with a title and I bought an 03 250 parts bike for $250 on CL, and I managed to put together a decent running bike with about 9,500 miles on it. I put the good fairings off of one of the bikes and did a tune up on it. The faq.ninja250.org website was a huge help, and some stuff on here was helpful. If anyone else is in the Memphis area, I do very small group rides with my friends at Shelby Forest almost every Sunday.

So far here is what I've done to it.
Cleaned and adjusted the chain.
Adjusted the valves.
Cleaned and adjusted the carbs.
New Battery.
Switched the good fairings onto the bike.
Put good stock exhausts on the bike (they were gutted when I bought it)
Installed some handlebar mirrors (didn't have any)
Replaced the foot pegs and left side rearset because they were broken.
Fixed leaking gas tank.
Rebuilt petcock.


Still needs some cosmetics and I have Michelin City Grip tires on the way, but it runs great and is a blast to ride! Here is some pictures next to my girlfriends 05 Suzuki Burgman 400.








I still plan on adding some turn signals, saddlebags, a taller windscreen, 0.75 kg fork springs and oil, and a zx600 rear shock.
