what is your favorite mod to your bike!?!

kawigirl · August 31st, 2011, 04:18 PM

Do tell!

Gulf1 · August 31st, 2011, 04:27 PM

Wow, I guess the paint.

2011Ninja250R · August 31st, 2011, 04:45 PM

Two Bros. slip-on is for sure my favorite. Sounds mean and, in conjunction with the jet kit, gets a little extra *zip* as well.

Snake · August 31st, 2011, 04:58 PM

My favorite mod has to be the Area P Quiet Core full exhaust. Now the bike performs better and actualy sounds like a motorcycle instead of a lawnmower.

alex.s · August 31st, 2011, 06:58 PM

bixenon projector with fancy bezel. looks great, functions even better.

choneofakind · August 31st, 2011, 07:06 PM

tires/suspension!!!!! bike goes zip zipzip zip through turns now

*edit*

although on second thought, my 250R decals added 10hp, so that might be my second favorite mod

*/edit*

Live2ride · August 31st, 2011, 07:20 PM

15T front sprocket or my tank bag.

Mazakawi · August 31st, 2011, 09:59 PM

Removing the rear fender and replacing it with a Projekt D fender delete kit.

Who ever though it was a good idea to put that gawdy piece of plastic that went half way down the rear tire should be fired.

squaregamer476 · August 31st, 2011, 10:04 PM

installing my shogun frame sliders. I couldnt believe i actually did that myself thanks to ninjette. I would never ride a bike without frame sliders.

kawigirl · August 31st, 2011, 10:09 PM

My favorite mod would either be the HMF performance exhaust with the stage 2 dynojet kit or my green leds..they make me feel much safer at night.

LoneRonin · August 31st, 2011, 10:44 PM

shimmed needles...made a world of difference.

adri99an · August 31st, 2011, 11:03 PM

best mods as of now

soft rubbery grips + levers + rearsets = new bike

I have the same exhaust! Nice

Shaol1n Monk · August 31st, 2011, 11:10 PM

my favorite mods would be my woodcraft clip ons and my new adjustable rearsets. it feels like a totally different bike! i sat on jstrains tonite with the stock bars and rearsets and it was like i was sitting straight up in a chair LOL

adri99an brother you MUST get some clip ons to go with ur rearsets!

i also loooove my MGP growler exhaust. i dont care what anyone says about it being loud, i think it sounds like a MotoGP racer

thats the stock rear tire, but jstrain has a 150 on his stock rim and it FITS. so i will make the switch when i need new tires.

the woodcrafts i got from richard at hotmotostore.com hes also a member of the forum. he sells them for $162 the cheapest you will find anywhere and that includes the shipping. they are specially made to fit the 250 with JUST enuff clearance for the bars over the fairing.

http://www.hotmotostore.com/Woodcraf...pons_p_16.html

youve got the rearsets (which look great btw) now complete the job w the clip ons!

adri99an · August 31st, 2011, 11:28 PM

Dude- clip ons are my next mod....I've been running a 150 for a few years now....when you change it out....you might post a pic and say that is the best mod!!!

yea i didnt think a 150 would fit on our stock rims but jstrains does, just barely... it almost touches the chain guard. do u have any rubbing issues?

adri99an · August 31st, 2011, 11:41 PM

The BT016s and the Michelin Pilot Powers have no issues rubbing.

The BT003s have some issues.

Shaol1n Monk · August 31st, 2011, 11:51 PM

cool. just looked em up on ebay and they go for about 150 new. im a lil ways off from needing them tho.

next mods: preload fork adjusters, flushmount rear signals, hotbodies undertail

once winter comes and i cant ride everyday im gonna do headers, jetkit, K&N airfilter

im also gonna buy a used zx-6r for the track next year

I'm running a 120/70/17 Front and 150/60/17 rear on my 2010. I went with the 150/60 instead of 150/70 to keep the rear tire close to the same size as stock. I'm running Michelin Pilot Power's. Have had them for about 600 miles now. The bike doesn't feel any less maneuverable or nimble than it was before.

I will say that the wider tires made it more comfortable and stable to ride on the interstate. They seem to be a little softer and absorb bumps in the road better than my stock tires did.

I upgraded because I got a nail in my rear tire and I'm not chancing patching a tire on motorcycle. I went through every book the dealer had and the Pilot Power's were the only tires I could find that had a 150/60/17 rear available. After a 15% discount I paid just short of $300 for the tires and another $80 for them to mount/balance.

Gurk · September 1st, 2011, 03:02 AM

gotta say mgp exhaust. friggin' loud but looks perfect. sound character is very nice too. wish it was a few decibels quieter. lol.

gt_turbo · September 1st, 2011, 05:52 AM

WC clip-ons. they make the bike way more comfortable and better in the corners.

greg737 · September 1st, 2011, 06:51 AM

Fuel Injection....

Skippii · September 1st, 2011, 07:54 AM

Cellphone+MP3 player+GPS charger probably.

Kanestar · September 1st, 2011, 10:17 AM

I LOVE THE COLOR OF YOUR BIKE. I wish I got a blue one.

I want some fully auto ak's welded onto my frame with the triggers on the handle bars. And a gun safe bolted on to pack my glock 19 that I haven't bought yet.

I like my flush mount turn signals that don't work.

I love these mods because they make changing the oil and filter a breeze.

heated grips, by far and bar none, I friggin love those suckers

NikkitaNinja · September 4th, 2011, 07:05 PM

New to this forum here, figured i could use some more focued 250 talk. I got a Kawi Green 2008 Ninja 250 a few weeks ago as my first bike and already doing some mods to it myself. Got a Factory Pro S1 jet kit, Koso RX-2 GP dash with adapter board, green gel grips, WC clip ons, Yoshi TRC slip on and green levers. Next upgrade is a new damn seat, stock is so uncomfortable! Picture is just stock with Yoshi exhaust. will definitely upload new pics once all my upgrades are on next week!

DarC · September 5th, 2011, 07:50 AM

Function: Def the WC clip ons and Bohemian rear sets.

Looks: Flat black decals and ZX-2R decals...and my Bohemian rear sets

For the Fumoto valve, get # F-109. Amazon seems to have the best price
http://www.amazon.com/Fumoto-F-109-E...5251352&sr=8-2
Info. on the valve at: http://www.fumotousa.com/main.htm
For the new-gen, you need to install it in the "old" drain location since it hits the housing at the "new" drain hole.

For the Bergmen spin on adaptor, buy at: http://www.murphskits.com/catalog/pr...roducts_id=145
It''s not cheap at $122, but it is a quality product and is worth every penny IMO.
