Hello from southern Cali!!
Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Kristina and I have been riding for a year now. I have a 2008 Kawi green 250 that I bought stock which is my first bike. Not going to lie I have dropped my bike 2 times. One on a newbie move where I was making a u-turn and hit sand..... Second time she has been down I was backed into in a parking lot by a lady who claims she didn't see me in the mirror (Don't you look over your shoulder when you back up?!?) Anyway things I have installed myself thanks to the help of youtube : Flush mount proton turn signals, seat cowl, Fender eliminator kit, LED tail light. Just got new shoes on her that the shop put on for me and they also installed shogun frame sliders. I did buy a yoshimura slip on exhaust just need to install it when I have some time. Here are some pics below: |

Nice bike, welcome. By new shoes, I assume you mean tyres. Which did you get and how bad are the stock ones compared to what you got?

Were those your original tires you replaced? Regardless of mileage, motorcycle tires should be replaced anywhere from 2-5 years depending on who you talk to. Does your bike sit outside all the time? 4 years worth of UV might have had something to do with it.

Hey Kristina welcome the ninjette! How do you feel about freeway riding? If you're comfortable you should totally come hang out with the So Cal members - we meet usually at least once a month. I believe in January we will be meeting for a tech day in Indio where we work on bikes and help each other out with maintenance, aftermarket installs, any mechanical issues etc. It'd be great to have you there!

Welcome to the forums!!! Always good to see another SoCal rider!!! You should definitely keep your eyes out for get togethers... we have a pretty big group of individuals who get together at least once a month for either a tech day, group ride or just to hang out. We are headed out to Indio (Ken and Chrissy's) this Sunday (18th) to help reorganize the garage as we use their place for lots of our tech days... always welcoming to a new member
BTW, I had cracking in my stock sidewalls as well... the bike is only 1 1/2 years old and the stock tires only had about 9K miles and the bike is always garaged. I think it just has something to do with the quality of the stock tires *EDIT* Due to slow typing Max beat me to some of my post... oh well
