1989 Resurrected from the Dead
Last summer I resurrected a 1989 from the dead (see video in Videos section).
Can't believe the fun I'm having on this Ninjette! Just gotta keep your left foot busy. Only issue I have is a harsh ride. Got to research a new shock. As much as I'm enjoying this 250 it needs to go on the block in Spring. (Sigh). |

Hi Steve & welcome to Ninjette!
These bikes are quite loads of fun! Harsh ride may just mean your shock & swingarm pivots need cleaning and greasing. There’s needle bearing the bushings ride on and they can bind without adequate lubrication. I do these every other year. Awesome restoration and photos! I really like the GPZ750 colour scheme!

Resurrected 1989
Thanks, Danno. Your advice makes sense. I'll take care of that as soon as warmer weather arrives here in the northeast.
Here's a photo of the bike at the New York City Progressive Motorcycle Show this past December. |
