My first alteration wasn't even a "mod."

I installed a ZG Double Bubble.

I have things on the list, though....

Thinking maximum fender chop, Sportisi hugger, Bikemonkey light, maybe some Proton flushmounts......

Exhaust is calling my name, but there are SO MANY VARIABLES and it seems an endless treadmill of causing, then attempting to fix, problems that you caused..... besides, I'm not unhappy with the way the bike runs, so why fix what ain't broke?

My first mod was to shim the needles (drilled the slides while I was at it). The bike was barely rideable the way it came. I actually found these Ninja 250- specific forums while looking to see if this was a "normal" condition or if I needed to take the bike back to the dealer.

The throttle response was terrible. I had to slowly turn the throttle in order to accel, anything even semi-quick and the bike felt like it was running outta fuel.

My first mod was chopping the fender.... and that's where it all began. 1 year later, and my bike has a bunch of mods, and more mods to come, lol!
