What Did You Do to Your Ninjette Today ?? - Page 144

EternalNewb · June 16th, 2014, 08:43 PM

@nickjpass Hahaha, did you do yours today as well?

mgentz · June 16th, 2014, 08:44 PM

One should do it every year.

EternalNewb · June 16th, 2014, 08:47 PM

I may aim to do it more frequently than that, if necessary, though I really just want to find something that doesn't fling off like that. I really don't like goopy gunk building up and getting stuck in everything, then slowly dripping off when hot.

Changing sprockets and chain...and realized how dirty everything was. Brought out cue tips, almost twenty microfiber cloths (and washed them all once now), and two cans of WD-40. I've been cleaning for hours. Although I'm a little obsessive and compulsive.

Or every time you lube. Not that hard. Consider it weight savings

mgentz · June 16th, 2014, 08:58 PM

Oh I do it a lot...

csmith12 · June 17th, 2014, 09:01 PM

Going from track to street is harder... but I am ready for the benefit tomorrow.

iamjacob · June 17th, 2014, 10:37 PM

Commuted on it to work. Noticed the mileage looked odd so I had to go almost a mile before pulling over and taking a pic.

You have to click on the pic to really see it... 12,345.6 miles

LittleRedNinjette · June 18th, 2014, 03:35 AM

Thats awesome!

pics of the chain kit?

No pics yet, bought kit from aftermarketcycles, and also purchased a cheap 415 chain off ebay, its what I currently have on the bike. Going to see how long it last. The chain was $15 shipped compared to $80 for the DID from aftermarketcycles.

**** **** ****. I thought I was going to finish buttoning up the crankcase tonight but I ran into a problem installing a rod one of the bearings popped out while I was installing the cap and got wedged against the other bearing scratching both pieces. FML. Now I got to wait until next week to get new ones and pay a stupid shipping cost.

More scraping gasket maker....

Sucks.

I began installing my air/fuel ratio gauge. Should be done tomorrow. Excited...

Which one did you go with? I was looking at getting one to wire into my GPX Pro.

I got the NTK 96604. It is a stand-alone unit but it is all I need to get my carbs tuned about perfect before I take it to the shop for dyno and final tuning.

I looked at the Wego III and a few others with data logging, but they were getting expensive and did not fit where I wanted to mount it. Koso has gauges that integrate the a/f ratio into the display but I did not want a whole gauge either.

The only odd thing is how the manual goes into great depth to explain that the (O2) sensor has a short life-span. Considering car (O2) sensors last 100,000 miles or more, one would think that this sensor could at least last a few years. It also states that leaded fuels shorten its life further....so I guess I'm back to good ole petrol for a few weeks.

I think the short life expectancy has to do with the "heater" for the sensor along with a combination of moisture/condensation.

mgentz · June 19th, 2014, 03:14 PM

May also be because it is wideband. Just seemed odd.

Nenette and I made some new friends tonight. A gixxer and a ducati were having a rev contest. We joined in

Rogue · June 20th, 2014, 12:28 PM

Gave it a bath and then took it for a ride to help it dry off. That's the best drying method, right?!

CZroe · June 20th, 2014, 08:13 PM

Had to disconnect seemingly every cable, wire, and hose to get the birdcage (upper fairing stay) off just so I could figure out how best to route my HID wire harnesses. Was forced to go ahead and replace my leaking petcock while I was at it.

Now the bike won't stay on (sputters out eventually).

Not sure what I did.

cuong-nutz · June 21st, 2014, 08:27 PM

Goobered up one do my valve shim bucket container area. Knocked the head off my make shift bench porting the head. I bent in the edge and it looks oblongish. Hope my repair doesn't cause any issues. ****ing Mosquitos.

NevadaWolf · June 21st, 2014, 08:49 PM

Met friends IRL, added more miles, had friends swap the 250 pipe to the stock 300 exhaust, yanked a few hoses from the CA system and added a longer hose for the new overflow.

Test ride tomorrow to make sure all is well and good for the ride home.

Finally got in a decent ride to try out my new clip-ons, shorty levers, OEM R6 '06+ throttle tube, new heavier fork oil and .75 springs… Also wrapped my header. Fun times were had.

menikmati · June 22nd, 2014, 12:37 PM

Talked to a neighbor that just got a 300, looks like they're loving every single second on it.

Much work to be done and taking suggestions on the belly pan text.

I did finally put my air filter in... I'm kinda sad my bike isn't as loud, an doesn't pop like its nuts anymore... But I'm sure it's better for my bike, an my neighbors

I put three bolts in the wrong holes, and pretty much just slapped the fairings back together to get rid of a onlooker that was whining like a girl the whole time I worked on my bike. It hasn't exploded, and the fairings are more secure than I have seen on bikes, I just don't like extra parts, or knowing I got stuff in the wrong spot

cuong-nutz · June 22nd, 2014, 09:13 PM

Researched on how to tackle my porting job on the head. Came about learning more stuff about the 300 head. Thinking of swapping to the 300 crankcase lower. Still debating. May swap to the 300 head after some repairs.

EternalNewb · June 22nd, 2014, 09:34 PM

Rode over 200 miles, much of it through mountains and canyons. It was such a privilege riding the Crest with a relatively new rider, and so much fun.
