So guys, just the other day my ninjette hit 10,000 miles!!

Along with my bike hitting 10,000 miles, a few things came with it such as:
-Valve Clearance Check and Adjustment
-Oil and Filter Change
-Coolant Flush and Change
-Spark Plugs Cleaned
-Blacked Out Windscreen
-Painted White Chain Guard
-Modified Stock Exhaust

All of this which i got done in the last week. I feel pretty accomplished

The big thing was getting the valves done, and im glad i did because all of the exhaust valves were out of spec.

Heres a few pictures of everything.

Blacked out windsheild:

Used Krylon Fusion Gloss Black paint for Plastic on it and it worked great.

Painted white chain guard:

Not exactly sure how i like this. Its growing on me, but it sure does stick out amongst all the black in the ass end of her...I like it but it seems somewhat random... What do you guys think of it?

Modified stock exhaust:

Just finished this bad boy today, wow did it make a difference. It wasnt as loud as i expected, but definently still way louder and better sounding than stock. Makes me grin

And finally heres a picture of a very happy 16 year old and his ninjette

If you guys have any questions about what i did or how to do it, let me know! I plan on doing a few more DIY's for a few things, not sure if ill get around to them however...

Thanks

Haha its fine man. Ive been following you on your thread that you started and i gotta say i feel bad for you man. I hope you recover soon. I hate to see you limping around like that in those videos...and it was all becuase one girl decided not to look behind her....

But yeah you got it! And thanks man, i really apreciate it, and if i still have her then, i sure will!

As i said before, Get Well Soon!

Thanks man, do you have a closeup of the exhaust?

The white chain guard actually fits with the white number plates on the tail and white graphics elsewhere. I thought it would look funny before I saw the pics! If you were to do it again, I would tape off the mounting parts so that it's white/black and looks like a continuous white wedge, but I left my old chain guard in San Diego.

Thanks man

These last couple weeks, it has really been growing on me, and its holding up GREAT! And yeah, at first ir did, but then i realized i was looking too close. So i just took a step back, and it really does fit!

And yeah, i could still do that, i dunno!
