Pics of Ninjette at JGP

JS73 · December 2nd, 2008, 05:08 PM

Thought I would share some pics of my 250 at JenningsGP.

I've done a few things to it. AreaP, Factory Pro kit, Sharkskinz, BT090s and a set of Woodcraft rearsets going on this week.
Turn 9.

Front straight.

Very awesome. I need a set of track fairings myself for next year.

Can you please tell me your review on the 090s?

I just got myself a set this week and will be my first time out at the track with these tires.

Kurosaki,

The tires are awesome. I have 3 track days on them and they are holding up really good and the wear has been minimal on the ninjette. Which is exactly what I was told by the Bridgestone distributor. (www.stickboyracing.com)

Being that these tires are actually made for bikes bigger and heavier than the 250, they provide excellent grip on the little Ninja. They warm up pretty quick too.

Granted, I'm not a FAST guy by any means and am a new rider. As I have been slowly progressing and getting a little faster (glad I did the Ed Bargy race school) I still have not felt any sliding or unexpected movement. I think one would have to do something pretty drastic to get the bike out of shape with these tires.

One thing that I did notice is, although the rear tire is slightly wider than the stock tire, I noticed that the bike turned sharper than with the stock tires. These are radial vs the stock ply's and the profile is different.
That was my observation and would be interested in listening to your feedback too.

I think you'll be very pleased with these tires, in my opinion, they are worth every penny.

I haven't made their track days yet. I normally go to the JGP open track days, since my bike rides on a friends trailer. I tried going twice in Dec but had to cancel due to unexpexted things that arose, so my buddy and I are planning on going to JGP on Jan 24th.

I went to one of the FSB meetings at TGIF here in Orlando, great bunch of guys.

Open days are nice, thats where I started too. You just never know who will be out there, or how many. Private days, you get to ride pretty much with the same people over and over. Should give them a try, there next one is 21/22MAR with X-Act Motorsports(Pete). Check out Pete's Corner under TD's on FSB.

Were gonna be heading back to Jennings the end of FEB with the R1forum guys, 2nd annual Elvis(Glenn) Memorial TD. Will be pretty interesting, I made some major chances to the bike...... hope there for the better

Maybe will catch you up there sometime
