Alex: Thanks

Jaymie: Its all good

Sound Wave · October 10th, 2011, 12:15 AM

that is the junk thing about going to snake road. nothing else is around there.

too bad there were so many cars on the way back. was still fun though.

rz3r0 · October 10th, 2011, 01:36 AM

Hey that was fun today, nice to meet you guys and go cruising. We gotta go again sometime.

rz3r0 · October 10th, 2011, 02:24 AM

More pics of today.

Mountain Dew · October 10th, 2011, 02:28 AM

Yep. Hopefully my cb will be running good by then

Zan_ · October 10th, 2011, 11:22 PM

AAHH DAMN i missed this one.

Mountain Dew · October 11th, 2011, 10:27 PM

The videos didn't come out great :/

Sold my bike.

Gorilla25 · October 12th, 2011, 01:51 AM

bummers on the video

now the ninjette has a new home, hurry and get that CB and post pics

Mountain Dew · October 12th, 2011, 02:04 AM

I've had the CB since Saturday lol. Just got a carb rebuild kit and new full 4-1 exhaust. Might get the carb work done by south seas or something. I don't trust myself

Gorilla25 · October 12th, 2011, 02:22 AM

rebuilding a carb is not as hard as you think. i never rebuild a carb before untill my friend took a chance on me rebuilding his holly 4brl to go on his freshly rebuilt motor....as long as you take your time and follow directions, everything will be fine

Mountain Dew · October 12th, 2011, 03:45 AM

After talking with a few moto guys, I've decided to do the carb cleaning, valve/tappet adjustment, and whatever else needs to be done myself.

Once I get all that stuff done, I can work on actually improving it :>

Mountain Dew · October 12th, 2011, 03:45 PM

Well I've decided to do the carb cleaning now, and the rebuild whenever the kit comes in.

Does anyone have a compressed air blower thing for the needles and such? Or is there an alternative? I have a small compressor that I use to inflate tires, but it doesn't have a .. jet nozzle or whatever, but that's about it.

ungluck · October 13th, 2011, 02:42 AM

canned air

Mountain Dew · October 13th, 2011, 12:09 PM

FINALLY got my carbs off.

Stripped screw = dremel/drill.
Dremel/drill = Sparks.
Sparks + leaking carbs = Scary.

Other than that, this bike is starting to look like it'll come together nicely. Gonna do the valve adjustment myself too. Ordered a 4-1 exhaust, pod filters, clubman bars (might get clip-ons later), new clutch/throttle/speedo cables, side stand, and a few fix-it pieces. Once I'm done with that, I can worry about paint/rechrome/cafe.

Can't wait to bring it out for a group ride

Gorilla25 · October 13th, 2011, 12:59 PM

nice!..keep us updated

...and make sure to post up progress pics too

Mountain Dew · October 13th, 2011, 04:17 PM

Gorilla25 · October 17th, 2011, 12:47 PM

@Ninjastyle23: Welcome

glad you found us. stay tuned and come ride with us on our next cruise. you can post pictures by clicking on the little box at the top of the msg window. it looks like a mountain. there are other ways too.

@rz3r0: get your friend to sign up here too

@Mountain Dew: you can try andy's or the dreadded dealership

Mountain Dew · October 17th, 2011, 08:01 PM

Going to bring it in to south seas nimitz to get them drilled. But that's after my zorst comes in as well as the replacement clutch/throttle cables. I might try starting it up just to see if it idles whenever I finish my url change and get my key back (friend took it with his to get copies made, but nowhere on the island has it, so I had to pay $12 for two from some site -.-)

Ninjastyle23 · October 17th, 2011, 08:04 PM

I'm looking for girl riders, I'd like to ride with other girls, any other females?!? Like a group of females? That rides?!?

kenji_808 · October 17th, 2011, 08:10 PM

look up misa, 808yewtube.... shes a fellow ninjette rider, she also rides with a local group called dangerous curves

Gorilla25 · October 17th, 2011, 10:10 PM

x2 on contacting misa. other than you and her, i dont know of any other female riders in this forum in hawaii

rz3r0 · October 18th, 2011, 12:30 AM

I'll get him to sign up for sure.

ungluck · October 18th, 2011, 12:41 PM

i actually meet a couple of 250 females a couple days ago..i rode to work(bad idea) and was coming home after a long 18 hour shift...bike was FILTHY, sand,mud,coral dust,cardite you name it..anyway...stopped to get a drink and a splash of fuel...they roll in and start chatting me up on dirty my bike is..i was like, look here bitches!! i didnt mean to get my little rocket liek this..i jsut couldnt use the car today, it will be clean my sunrise!! they laughed..got the humor, good stuff. i told em about ninjette, so hopefully they sign up. both are stationed here, super cool. exchanged numbers, their not much for pack riding, but i hope to ride with them and a buddy tomorrow night.

i keep seeing a guy in ewa..over by a friends with a blue 250..skinny asian kid..i'm about to get really offensive..so if you dont like, you were warned,suck it up.... every time i see him alone..he has his helmet on from the house,cant see what he looks like..every other time he has his very large i believe white gf on the back in a skirt that is way too short and not for her body type..and she has absoluetely no gear on.

my usual comment to people i run into like this, and i say it right to them " if you loved her, you'd gear her up"

dont be a fukn retard and let your girl on your bike while your safely geared...and she is in shorts or a skirt and no helmet/jacket,etc

really...idiots.

ok..i'm out..doin night ops this week, gotta make sure all is well and ready.

new house is almost completely moved in and money is being saved..gonna pay ninja off and get my smc sooner than later

ungluck · October 18th, 2011, 12:42 PM

dangerous curves hawaii has a facebook brooke..look it up

Mountain Dew · October 18th, 2011, 02:37 PM

Purchased a full 99-02 fork/triple tree/axle. Supposedly with a little modification to the triple tree, it'll fit right on my 550.

ungluck · October 20th, 2011, 12:33 PM

misa said group ride on sat, all are invited, meets at kanehoe starbucks 930am

should be a good,chill collective ride. a lot of laid back people going. i will be on a 96 hour call with svdt1 for some training exercises...wish i could go

kenji_808 · October 20th, 2011, 12:55 PM

cools, i'll probably be able to meet up down that side by 930.... got my 2 month check up for my lasik at 830 in mililani

Gorilla25 · October 20th, 2011, 01:03 PM

not sure if i can make it. i'll try, but not guaranteed

Sound Wave · October 20th, 2011, 03:11 PM

i am working saturday.

kenji_808 · October 20th, 2011, 03:26 PM

how about sunday morning then?

ungluck · October 20th, 2011, 04:22 PM

saturday is iffy..i may still be at work lol

i took sharpnel in the eye on monday from an IED(not a REAL one)...it's got sand and talcum powder..but it kicks up rocks and ****...the one time i was within 30 yards and had my goggles off..dammit..

got it cleaned out...ahh...perfect vision, right J :]

Mountain Dew · October 20th, 2011, 04:50 PM

IF my bike is working on Saturday/Sunday/whateverday, I'll head out with ya'll. I'm pretty sure I just need to put the stock airbox back on and it'll run again. I think I can put the pod filters back on when I get the new jets in. Also, my new exhaust FINALLY came in ! Shipping was through UPS, and it went from FL to TX to CA to Canada.

Why it when to Canada? I have NO idea. Hopefully it was logistics, and not just a screw-up >>;

Gorilla25 · October 20th, 2011, 05:03 PM

Jaymie: lol..WTF

everyone: if sunday ride, morning is a no-go. i can only ride in the afternoon. meet up 1530ish...church in the morning
