What Did You Do to Your Ninjette Today ?? - Page 123

JohnnyBravo · January 15th, 2014, 09:38 PM

Rode to crazy Kevin Powells to get my recall done, Liked to froze y'all, it got cold an windy hella quick!

coolbreeze · January 16th, 2014, 06:41 AM

Fixed my rear right turn signal. Discovered that it wasn't working during my pre-check before leaving for work.

Nate513151 · January 16th, 2014, 08:00 AM

Sitting at Kawi dealer waiting on sport demons to get put on.

sharky nrk · January 16th, 2014, 08:09 AM

Rode her to work, going to do my first commuter fill up and fuelly entry this afternoon. Beats the cage now that it is on my dime lol.

Nate513151 · January 16th, 2014, 02:59 PM

So got the Demons installed and wow what a difference. Bike sits higher which I'm not sure if I like or dislike yet but it defintly feels more stable. What's the recommended break in for new demons?

About 1 lap or so depending on rider. Oh, lol you mean street? Just be smart and purposely scrub them in as well as bring the tires up to temp and you'll be good to go. Some riders can do it in a about a mile, others need 50+.

It took Choneofakind 2.3 miles to break his in on a nice day at the track.

When breaking in a new rear tire do you just need to ride slow & smooth for a bit and the outer layer will naturally wear off and you're good, or is it the case that you need to lean it over bit by bit to wear it so basically riding in a circles in a parking lot for 10-15 minutes (possibly more) would be enough?

Yep, that is one way to scrub em in.

I'd have said do a burnout but that wouldn't get the tire edges unless you're insane.

Odometer crossed the 28k mark.

allanoue · January 17th, 2014, 07:41 AM

Left it 1\3 of the way down my driveway after failing to bump start.
It was only 27F. I bet it starts right up when I get home.

Thanks, hope to get it to 30k soon.

Ordered feeler gauges, a digital micrometer and a valve shim kit. Printed up the service manual sections regarding valve inspections/adjustments and as long as all the parts come in by the weekend, I'll be performing an oil change, valve adjustment and new front master cylinder and Vesrah pads for the front.

LittleRedNinjette · January 23rd, 2014, 05:57 PM

New grips!

Now I go back to staring at her longingly.

Sirref · January 23rd, 2014, 05:58 PM

what kind of grips are those, they look pretty cool.

LittleRedNinjette · January 23rd, 2014, 06:02 PM

The 2 wheels, got them off eBay cheep.

sharky nrk · January 23rd, 2014, 06:23 PM

left her in the garage cause it was "raining" the winter mix

Not ninjette, but I rode.

Nice!

My boyfriend has these on his Buell and loves them. He did have to trim them a bit. They have a thicker grip, helped the "hand falling asleep" problem the he had.

csmith12 · January 24th, 2014, 08:26 AM

Yep, the fatter grip is the main reason I got these, it's a preference from my previous life as a cruiser rider. They were pretty cheap too. Since alex.s will be the first to ride my bike with these grips, we will have to defer to him for the new grip feel review in a couple of weeks lol.

coolbreeze · January 24th, 2014, 08:44 AM

Had is towed, since the battery finally died, and I couldn't push start it. Should have a new battery today.

NevadaWolf · January 24th, 2014, 10:34 AM

@LittleRedNinjette I likey those. May have to look at those when my current ones get trashed again.

Brian · January 24th, 2014, 11:29 AM

Thank you good sir. Now i can read more Ninjette instead of writing essays for college. Many thanks!

MasterLanMan · January 26th, 2014, 01:16 AM

I put some rear swing arm spools on my ninja today, actually broke my allen wrench set getting them in, that's how tight the fit was, but I got them in!

JohnnyBravo · January 26th, 2014, 11:11 AM

Rode a loop so far... Bikes running good in this weather

menikmati · January 26th, 2014, 05:39 PM

Did a valve adjustment and installed the APE manual CCT.

I don't think I've ever been more scared to start the bike up after performing a service like that, thankfully it was only 8 valves.

All my intake valves were in spec and all my exhaust valves were out of spec and too tight.

I was also extremely grateful that I bought a magnetic pick-up tool as it made picking up the buckets so much easier and one of the outer dowels fell into the engine after lifting up the camshaft cap.

The downside was that it took me about 6-7 hours to do, as moving all that **** out of the way to remove the valve cover took me ages and I had difficulty keeping the timing when reinstalling the camshafts because I was worried about the camshaft chain skipping or something when cranking the engine. I also seemed to do every mathematical calculation even though I didn't need to just to triple-check my work on which shims to install.

Next weekend will be an oil change, OEM engine mount nuts/bolts and finishing the removal of the Shogun frame sliders as I removed the right hand side slider to install the manual CCT since I found it impossible to access the CCT with the frame slider bracket in the way.

It only took my lazy ass 15k miles to get around to performing the damn valve adjustment.

antiant · January 26th, 2014, 05:44 PM

Rode it. Felt great. I love Cali weather.

NevadaWolf · January 26th, 2014, 06:43 PM

Just got back from riding. Not very far today, Reno to Carson to Virginia City then home.

nothing.

rojoracing53 · January 26th, 2014, 09:38 PM

So yesterday I started this

So now while I wait for the paint to dry on the only parts to big to powdercoat I did this.

I'll combine the two tomorrow

NevadaWolf · January 26th, 2014, 09:48 PM

I so cannot wait for a pic of you riding down the street on your way to go biking.

csmith12 · January 26th, 2014, 09:50 PM

Being from KY, I have seen my fair share of things that made me scratch my head but..... they worked, and some actually worked well.

can you do a thread on how you made that? I could likely figure it out on my own but a DIY thread would be helpful since I don't know if I'll have my car running again before the summer when I'll want to ride my mtb at my favorite trails.

As soon as spring rolls around I'll be using this to hit the trails in Tahoe as much as a can.

Make sure you tie a red flag or streamer off the MTB rear tire to keep the fuzz at bay.
