A Very Jiggly 250

Jiggles · August 31st, 2012, 08:10 PM

The time has come to mod the balls off my 250. First up I'm going to crank every last pony I can out of the stock carbs and engine. My Area P 18" Full race exhaust arrived today and I received my k&n air filter earlier this week. I'm thinking maybe I'll go do a dyno run to see what the 250 is producing right now and then maybe get it dyno tuned or just do a dyno run afterwards to see where its at.

Here's the sexy bitch

I'm expecting results similar to this

I think I may do a video DIY of everything I do this weekend, or maybe its more trouble than its worth

**** thats happened

that little lego man or what ever come with it too?

Bentley813 · August 31st, 2012, 08:23 PM

Sexy bitch indeed. I'll vote yes to the video DIY, aught to be some fun times. At least pics.

staulkor · August 31st, 2012, 08:24 PM

Lookin good! Did my post make you buy one? The timing is a strange coincidence :P

Also, I threw up another video the other day of just normal riding with the exhaust to get the idea of what it is like for daily riding. Though mine is the 12" can which would make it a tad bit louder.

Nice. Any reason for this brand versus any other ? I need one for the 09.

Area P is a sweet exhaust, you'll pay for it... But it'll give you a power boost. But then again, what is a few hp when you aren't racing

A tad bit louder is an understatement

No I had a area p on my last 250, it was the street version 18" I'm planning on taking this bike to the track so I got the race version which replaces the passenger pegs and produces a bit more hp

Area P is the highest quality exhaust you can buy for the 250. It produces the best tones and the most hp and it also looks fantastic. You can find full systems for $100-$150 cheaper but they will not be the same quality. The owner of the company is a member on this site @kbryant, if you pm him I'm sure he can elaborate more on why his product is superior

Whatever you do, do not get a slip on, utter waste of money

You know how people complain that they can't pass cars on the freeway? It's because they don't have an area P on their bike

Of course, as this is the obvious conclusion!

Just curious, do you ride your 1000 at all?

I try to but then I just go out and stare at it and gently touch it

But really when I got onto a stock 250 again I was like "Ok, I see now why people think this bike is not good for passing" The extra 5 hp you get out of an area P really makes a difference at highway speeds

Relative to the power of a stock 250r a 5 hp gain is massive. Plus, I think most of the exhausts for the 250r make it sound bad. However, the Area P exhaust is an exception! I've never heard it in person, but from the videos it makes it sound like a miniature STI/Subaru in general

Jiggles · August 31st, 2012, 09:22 PM

The sound is fantastic. It's a bit louder than stock but far from annoying

Here's the sound differential

Thanks for the tip. I don't take short cuts. I spend the money once and do it right. So with that said, last I heard , the full yoshi was where it's at. Thats in my '10. Id consider trying this areaP one too

Oh I see, you're looking for a system for the 09? It will be a cool to be able to compare a bike with a full yoshi to a bike with a full area p. Drag test them and see who wins (my money is on the 09

)

Also there is 2 full area p systems available. The race system produces a bit more power than the street system (not sure but I think it has bigger headers???). If you can do without the passenger pegs on the 09 go for the race system, that will easily beat the yoshi

rusninja · August 31st, 2012, 10:54 PM

You should let me come and observe!

Jiggles · August 31st, 2012, 10:57 PM

Get a bike and then maybe

This is the same mantra that I follow, too.

Looks like I'll be installing my Area P this weekend, hopefully I can feel the difference when I do my pulls through redline after finding the right jetting.

Jiggles · August 31st, 2012, 11:29 PM

Oh yeah, you will feel the difference, especially 10k+

menikmati · August 31st, 2012, 11:30 PM

Will you be putting a jet kit in or leaving the carb internals stock?

Jiggles · August 31st, 2012, 11:32 PM

Well I don't want the bike to run like **** so I'll be jetting it. I hope you are too

menikmati · August 31st, 2012, 11:34 PM

Yeah I got a Factory Pro kit sitting on my desk. I didn't want to be one of those people that slaps an exhaust on and posts "Y MY BIKE RUN LIKE POO."

Jiggles · August 31st, 2012, 11:35 PM

Y U NO GET AREA P CUSTOM DYNOJET KIT!?

menikmati · August 31st, 2012, 11:37 PM

I found a good deal on the Factory Pro kit and can source the additional main jets from jetsrus if I need to.

Jiggles · August 31st, 2012, 11:39 PM

Do you have a JIS screw driver or allen head replacement screws for the carbs?

menikmati · August 31st, 2012, 11:41 PM

The Factory Pro kit comes with 8 allen bolts for the carb tops and I sourced the 8 allen bolts for the float bowls from Home Depot.

I almost typed "bowels" for a moment there...

Aufitt · September 1st, 2012, 04:34 AM

6hp from an exhaust?

What else are you doing to the engine?

Coolbpf · September 1st, 2012, 04:57 AM

Ahem, Faster than my ninjette. You OBVIOUSLY aren't aware that mine is red... Your argument is invalid my friend.

I love my Area P. Great choice Sean.

Pod filters race exhaust and jetting. I'm going to try and get my bike dyno'd today and then get it dyno'd after I install everything to see what gain this gets me (or better yet, if my jetting is any good

)

you have Ninja 1000 but you wanna dick around with the 250....? And you have me listed under your motorcycles, what an honour.
Yours might be faster according to specs but not when I'm riding....

Absolutely this. This is a necessity, including elevation and temperature

I think you should do this, as a matter of fact this might be one of the best ideas you've ever had! If I was anywhere near you I would film and photo for you. It might seem like trouble, but for folks like myself who are gonna travel this same path it would be priceless

Ok here is what I meant, it's really difficult to do unsafe passes with the current setup. I dont even consider doing a double yellow pass on it because it just won't do it fast enough. I don't have any trouble on the freeway though
