It has the most replies in General (5200+ at this point), but the two word game threads in Off-Topic have it beat (11,575 replies for the word assocation game, 5,993 for the Another Word game one). If you click into the forum without going into a thread, you can sort by the columns on the right.

I wish there was some way to discount post counts from those two threads.

that would be nice, they're basically spam threads anyway

Alex · April 6th, 2014, 02:00 PM

I can't do it by thread, but I can do it by subforum. I considered not having postcounts be counted within off-topic, but it's such a busy part of this site that I don't think it's the right choice.

Sirref · April 6th, 2014, 02:04 PM

I agree with that decision it's by thread or not at all, off-topic has a lot of legitimate topics that deserve being credited posts. It's just those two threads that would be good to stop post counts from.

Not a single incandescent bulb (or HID) on the bike now. Also put yellow overlay on Cree fog lights.

chugs · April 6th, 2014, 02:49 PM

Nice fog lights i'm actually doing the same thing to my bike.

cbinker · April 6th, 2014, 02:56 PM

My ninjette is still parked in the garage being held hostage by a Grizzley. Eventually i am going to change the brake pads.

hobosmeller · April 6th, 2014, 03:13 PM

trying to bring her back to life, changed the plugs and oil/filter.

she goes, but can do better

Hopefully she'll only be that loaded down for one trip. Normally its all shoved in my tail bag, but given that I actually need to be somewhat normal looking at some points on my vacation, figured having a change of clothes might be useful.

Plus the front saddle bags looked cool on some of the dual sports I was looking at so turning my little sport bike into a well rounded go anywhere machine! Bwhahaha. Who needs gas mileage?!

Just switched out to a brand new battery! Need to change my bent shifter, then wash the bike and lube the chain. Also really don't like how loud my exhaust slip on is (growler), so I'll be switching it out ASAP.

Olie · April 6th, 2014, 07:04 PM

Changed the oil and filter with Amsoil, install Yoshimura fender Eliminator and Fast Pack bag. Was a good day.

EternalNewb · April 6th, 2014, 07:20 PM

Cleaned and lubed the chain! Now to figure out what that shop did to destroy my fuel economy.

It was a routine oil change, which I've always done myself, but not with this result.

I managed to eff up and get a little atf on my rear tire, I'm planning on swapping it out anyway but I was planning another month on this one should I switch it now or is it not an issue?
paging @Motofool

Sorry for the late response

Only rust is no problem.
Red lubricant leaking out is.

Any picture?

Sirref · April 7th, 2014, 07:50 PM

It's rained since I cleaned it, however it is only rust. Nothing was leaking out of the chain.
the tire situation was resolved thank's to rojoracing53

misfitsailor · April 7th, 2014, 09:20 PM

Worked about 8 hours today applying vinyl graphics to the Ninjette. (graphics kit arrived today!) I am about half finished, it's slow going. Pics upon completion.

capt_bugaloo · April 8th, 2014, 07:54 PM

I put some reflective rim tape on the wheels. Very easy to do, adds a bit of colour, and the reflectivity gives a lot of extra visibility at night.

Brian · April 8th, 2014, 08:01 PM

^ Looks good!

Well since it was pouring down rain today... I was able to just sit on my bike in the garage....... But tommorow its hopefully going to be sunny! WA weather changes so randomly.

evidens83 · April 9th, 2014, 05:22 PM

Picked up a brand new GoPro HD Helmet Hero from a coworker of mine. I know its not the latest and greatest but for $80 I just couldn't pass it up. Installed 2 of the mounts today, 1 on top of the gas tank in 12:00 position in front of the gas lid, and one mount 2:00 position in the very front by the windscreen. Keep a lookout on an upcoming vid

2nd ride on my new 2012 Ninja 250, the odometer now reads 70 km -

psych0hans · April 9th, 2014, 08:15 PM

Installed yoshimura exhaust hanger... Rear brake light switch wasn't activating, so I started fiddling with the spring, till I realized there was a screw adjuster for this very purpose...

installed map, tried removing the baffle from the exhaust, but it's properly stuck in there, gotta find a way to get it out... Went for a quick ride to check everything out and it's good

looking forward to doing some track time now...

iamjacob · April 9th, 2014, 10:36 PM

Replaced and balanced my first tire. Only took a little over an hour.

After the gallon of tire lube, bearings to make a static balancer, tire irons and wheel weights it would have been cheaper to have any shop do it.

Definitely worth it though.

I would like to change my own tires as well. What tools did you use, did you buy a tire changing rig, such as the one from Harbor Freight?

i use two pieces of wood to pop beads and 3 spoons to change tires. tire rigs make it about 100 times easier, but if you're going to pay that much you might as well have someone come over to change your tires for you and suck your dick while they're at it. just remember when you're trying to get the last bead on that you have to pinch both beads on the opposite side to get them to slide into the trench between the beads so you can get the far side bead on.

Just like Alex, I used a couple of 2x4's to pop the bead, 3 tire spoons, a cut up leather glove to protect the rim, and some tire lube. To balance the wheel I made a static tire balancer out of a polished stainless steel rod and some skateboard bearings. Worked like a champ.

Your more than welcome to come over and use my "setup" or you can borrow the tools too.

Thanks for the offer, that's mighty neighborly of you.

I have changed tubeless scooter tires in the past (not fun! Often had to cut the bead.) Most of my life I have just gone to the shops and let them do it, but I like the freedom of buying tires online. Most shops around here charge high prices and give serious attitude to mount tires that you carry in, so from now on I will join the riders who change their own!

mgentz · April 10th, 2014, 11:35 AM

put the bottom end together

tonight its the pistons, cylinder and reinstallation into the frame for leverage.

cuong-nutz · April 10th, 2014, 11:37 AM

Going to tackle the stem bearings, and swap in those other type emulators.

getting the lower one in is a challenge. Best to remove the horn at minimum and have a lot of patience. Once done, let me know what you think about the next time you have to do this and need to remove it. My race is so tight to the inner casting that I think it will not come out easy at all!

As for the emulators....do you mean intimidators?

I would think that'd really increase the cost.

rojoracing53 · April 10th, 2014, 12:47 PM

Filled up the tank and calculated my mpg from my Laguna Seca track day. 32 mpg at full race pace for 150 miles. That doesn't seem to bad to me.

Yeah, the intimidators or whatever they're called. I just found out that my steering head bearing are good and it was just spanner nut was loose. It was loose enough that I could back it out with my fingers.

Forks are draining right now so I'll see how hard it is to do the stem bearings. I already have the triples out. No issues winging it.....yet.
