Hello everyone! I just joined the forum and wanted to show off my new ninja 250r and a few mods that I have made to the exterior.

OEM seat cowl
Pro Grip tank pad
250R decals
Yoshimura fender eliminator
Puig race windscreen
Sportisi headlamp cover (I mainly wanted to show this off as there aren't many pictures of the cover online. It costed me $52 plus tax. This is my favorite mod to the bike so far)

Alex · April 15th, 2012, 08:45 PM

neighbor!

Jiggles · April 16th, 2012, 02:03 AM

Yo dude! I live in San Jose too! So does @setasai. We both live around camden/almaden expressway area, where you at? We should ride together when my leg is a little less broken. And if you need help with mods, well, my days are currently spent doing absolutely nothing so I would be happy to help.

You wouldn't happen to be the guy on the red 250 that I met on the street would you? I was on my black 650 and we chatted it up at a few lights.

Huytanle · April 16th, 2012, 09:02 AM

Thanks for responsing! @Jiggles I live near eastridge mall off of capital exp. I would be down to meet after you get better. Do you have any experience with installing an exhaust and jetting? I was also thinking of adding a rear hugger.

Jiggles · April 16th, 2012, 10:02 AM

Exhaust yes, jetting, a little bit, I stripped the float bowel screws before I could change out the jets on my bike, jetting is hard stuff man, but, anything is better than sitting in a bed all day

Do you already have a kit?

Huytanle · April 16th, 2012, 10:36 AM

I am planning on ordering the yoshimura trc full system, k&n air filter, and a dynojet stage 2 kit sometimes soon. What are your opinions on full exhaust or slip-ons? There is a huge price difference.

Jiggles · April 16th, 2012, 10:40 AM

A slip on will change the sound of your bike, a full exhaust will give you a performance increase. I haven't heard a yoshimura in person, I have an Area P full system on my bike. It's a bit louder than stock, has a deep growl, but isn't annoying like a yoshi or 2bros. If you want to come over we can fire up my 250, it still runs, it just doesn't go anywhere lol.

I've been posting this pic a lot lately haha, this is what an Area P will do for you. It gives you a much better powerband that continues to pull hard instead of dropping off like stock. A slip on will have near the same power curve as stock

rusninja · April 16th, 2012, 11:28 AM

Welcome

Huytanle · April 16th, 2012, 12:09 PM

Is the power increase that noticeable though? What's wrong with your ninja?

Ritaro · April 16th, 2012, 12:10 PM

Welcome!
Looks like I was left out of the locals group

Jk, its not like I post at all.
I'm over by leigh and blossom hill.

Heh, I crashed, see my signature for details

And as soon as I put on the new pipe I noticed the difference in power. It was a nice upgrade.

Yea, 18 posts since august lol. I'm down for uhh san jose group modding, since I can't ride for a while

Ritaro · April 16th, 2012, 12:55 PM

Yup, I'm going for the record! haha
I would be down for a san jose mod meet.
I actually just sold my 250 a few days ago, and am now looking at a cbr that I might pick up tonight. Still sticking to this site though for all the good info

Huytanle · April 16th, 2012, 02:32 PM

A meet for the local riders would be cool.

Jiggles · April 16th, 2012, 07:36 PM

There's 4 of us active on this forum in San Jose now. My bike is totaled, you guys want to help me take the accessories off it?

Ritaro · April 16th, 2012, 08:53 PM

sure. While you sit there and bark orders?

haha

Jiggles · April 16th, 2012, 08:55 PM

I would help as much as my wheelchair would allow

Huytanle · April 16th, 2012, 10:17 PM

I can lend a hand with it!

KJohnson21 · April 17th, 2012, 11:02 PM

greenaero · April 18th, 2012, 02:25 PM

Welcome!! I'm not too far away in Livermore and would enjoy meeting other Ninja 250 riders.

setasai · April 18th, 2012, 03:57 PM

I'll be swinging over to Sean's place to help him with his exhaust and heated grip removal this friday afternoon if anybody wants to join us. I warn you though, it's super south san jose.

Ritaro · April 18th, 2012, 06:46 PM

what time? I can probably make it for awhile, I have work at 4.

Ritaro · April 18th, 2012, 06:53 PM

actually never mind, I might be working earlier. I'll check tomorrow.

Jiggles · April 18th, 2012, 07:45 PM

Idk, I'd be down for like 10am. I'm usually up at 7am because of the damn sun

Snake · April 25th, 2012, 08:47 AM

Hello and welcome.

Huytanle · May 23rd, 2012, 12:18 PM

Thanks everyone for the greetings!

Jiggles · May 23rd, 2012, 12:40 PM

Hows the mods?

Huytanle · May 23rd, 2012, 01:13 PM

Good good ^^ Pipe is burning golden so the bike is tuned correctly! Just saving up to do a few more things. How are you?

Jiggles · May 23rd, 2012, 01:31 PM

Boringly disabled lol -_-
