What Did You Do to Your Ninjette Today ?? - Page 93

JohnnyBravo · May 9th, 2013, 06:05 PM

Had my best ride since the ride of death in the rain. (Dramatic much)

Don't get a 500 shock. Those things are too soft and shorter. You can crank the preload up to make it stiff enough to ride at the right height, but that's not the right way of doing it.

Get a newgen shock with low miles or a 300 shock that has improved valving for a little stiffer damping. I'm a featherweight, so the newgen damping is pretty much perfect for me.

Garaged it at my parents house and brought its new friend home.

cuong-nutz · May 10th, 2013, 04:50 AM

^^ The red is so nice!!!!

I flushed the oil 3 times yesterday using some Quaker State oil. Should be good to go. I was going to ride to work this morning but my back wasn't having it.

Chicagobob · May 10th, 2013, 08:15 AM

Venhill black brake line, went on very easily, bled quickly with a vacuum bleeder. Noticeable improvement in brake firmness and feedback.

Trimmed the front fender (a little more, with a Dremel cutting disk and a belt sander). I think I'll have to trim the rear half to match better.

I also reinstalled the passenger pegs after my daughter gave a friend a ride and she melted the soles of her shoes all over the exhaust cans.

Today I changed my battery and tightened the throttle cable. Mmm, my girl prrrrrs nicely now.

And you know I like a tight throttle cable...

Mocha Man · May 10th, 2013, 07:14 PM

Fixed the stupid blinker that would just randomly work depending on whether the bike was leaned or upright and waxed her up

See, and we thought you liked a little extra free play.

BlueHairSar · May 10th, 2013, 09:07 PM

Well, a 1/4 turn is just a little too much. Oh! I lubed the chain, too!

And yup, that's what she said!

(Also, I can't believe how ridiculously easy it was to do. Whhhyyy did I not do that sooner?!)

though I think youre going to have even more time to raise the funds, being how im under contract from mid june - mid aug.

spawned4562 · May 11th, 2013, 04:18 PM

Unbent my sub frame with a 6 foot long iron rod, use tie down cables and
my buddies truck bumper mounts to hold her down while I bent it back up.
Looks a million times better than before. twas a comical contraption.

shimmed the carbs, removed the snorkel and took her out for a spin.

Time to get over my lowside I had last season.

Aurodox · May 11th, 2013, 04:33 PM

Washed and cleaned/oiled the chain. 600 mile service in less than 100 miles!

antiant · May 11th, 2013, 07:01 PM

Baby steps: I rode it a little bit around my neighborhood.

RandomPhantom · May 12th, 2013, 12:48 AM

Took the 22 freeway and did 100+ on my 250r. Funny tho i didnt feel any thrill or excitement out of it. I just hit 100+ and could have kept going faster but didnt. Speed isnt my thing! I enjoy going on rides instead for pleasure and relaxation.

I got the powertronic RR, which comes with some stuff i installed on my laptop, so now i mess with the afr's and timing and stuff from there.

psych0hans · May 12th, 2013, 04:02 AM

I never knew they made one for the 250...

TheDementedDrummer · May 12th, 2013, 05:28 AM

kirk595x · May 12th, 2013, 04:16 PM

Rode her for three hours in the city.

lolibater · May 12th, 2013, 04:20 PM

Went to my Mom's for momsday and put the ninjette on the center stand and sat on it for a bit. It's starting to feel weird moving back and forth from the 650 and the 250.

notsofast · May 12th, 2013, 04:25 PM

rojoracing53 · May 12th, 2013, 04:56 PM

Nothing I've to busy modding my garage instead so then I'll be better equipped to further mod my 250, if that's even possible

I did go pickup jiggle's OEM rear tire off the 300 to quell my 250's insatiable desire to murder anything I mount back there

I hope the tire doesn't suck ass bad as I think it will.

iplante · May 12th, 2013, 04:58 PM

Cleaned the grime underneath the bike, and dusted/lightly cleaned the rest of the bike too.

lolibater · May 12th, 2013, 05:07 PM

Speaking of which, what do you guys use for a quick cleaning of the bike? Not for a full on wash, but like if a bird shat on your tank or something.

Windex, or a quick detailer if I happen to have it around.

JohnnyBravo · May 12th, 2013, 07:17 PM

Rode it to the store and back... Is it just me or was it stuttering, probly just me

Alex · May 12th, 2013, 08:34 PM

Took the Ninja 300 for a nice 40-mile ride up and around Calaveras reservoir. Bike feels good!

BFisher244 · May 12th, 2013, 09:12 PM

Took her for a ride, cleaned/lubed the chain, and then gave that dirty girl a good washing

Glad to hear you're back on the bike! How's the back?

Alex · May 13th, 2013, 09:32 AM

I'll live.

I've been riding off and on for a few months now, and am working my way back. No major issues, and hope to be back to full health sooner rather than later.

choneofakind · May 13th, 2013, 12:47 PM

I FINALLY STARTED IT!!!! She likes the air box, new fuel routing, and new EFI software much better. Blew a little smoke, but that went away after a minute or two of idling. I'll put it back together, check my tire pressures and fluids, etc, then take it for a short spin to make sure everything is all kosher.

astricklin · May 14th, 2013, 11:26 AM

Changed the oil on Sunday and then Yesterday I scrubbed off most of the chicken strips at my first track day. And ya, the camera on my phone sux.
