It (my ninja) continued to be not worked on.

tfkrocks · January 10th, 2015, 10:50 AM

Michelin Pilot Street Radial rear tire on its way to replace my really squared off rear tire. Also, Revzilla is ****ing awesome. Ordered yesterday. Should be here today and I only used their free ground shipping

NevadaWolf · January 10th, 2015, 06:07 PM

Reached 62k. The little Ninja that could. *chug-chug-chug*

dcj13 · January 10th, 2015, 08:10 PM

Swapped battery tender from K75 to Ninjette.

tfkrocks · January 12th, 2015, 11:10 PM

Cleaned the air filter. Was a bit overdue. Oops.

Also I realized that I hadn't been very good at keeping service records. I had missed writing down the last couple tire changes and couldn't remember if I had ever changed the spark plugs. Just searched and I did in fact change them and posted about it here. Apparently I keep better service records on this thread

I thought that's what this thread was for.

LOL

crazymadbastard · January 13th, 2015, 09:32 AM

looked up her dress!

hey shes under a cover right now sleeping...

NevadaWolf · January 29th, 2015, 12:47 PM

Let's see, been posting in the "latest pick up" thread vs here for parts and bits.

Installed the handguards

And just bought some new pegs/mounts

shereth · January 31st, 2015, 08:23 PM

7500 mile maintenance! Was a little intimidated at the prospect of tearing it open and checking the valves but thanks to the helpful DIY's on this site it was .. well, maybe not quite a breeze, but no big deal either. Got lucky and everything is still in spec so no adjustments necessary.

cuong-nutz · February 1st, 2015, 07:51 PM

Finally got around to spending some money on the bike: carb rebuild kit and finally fork springs after 5 years.

ninjunk · February 1st, 2015, 09:54 PM

Got her running!

Bolted on rebuilt carbs
Changed oil filter and cleaned filter screen.
T6 rotella

Checked valves and plugs, good.

Bent foot pegs and mufflers into place and fixed shifter.

Took a bit of cranking to light off but once she cleared out she was purring like a kitten. Haven't even synched carbs yet. Took her all the way up to temp and sounds good, all lights work gauges and everything.

Took about five hours two of which were wasted fighting with the air box boots which were hard as hell and I had to boil them to soften up enough to install.

cuong-nutz · February 4th, 2015, 06:27 PM

Good job Graham!

Well I finally had some time to rebuild the carbs. I was having starting issues since it got cold. It would take a while of cranking for it to fire up. I would hear it backfire in the muffler trying to start and then finally it would. Also, oil was contaminated with fuel.

I pulled the carbs off and noticed right away that the idle mixture screws were set wrong! they were poking out of the body! Resetted them to 2.5 turns and 2.75 turns respectively. For those that have not figured it out, the idle mixture screw turns are not equal.

Next off, one of the float needles had worn grooves to cause it to stick slightly. Hopefully this what's causing fuel to seep into the oil. Need to replace the rubber caps on the vacuum nipples since they're dry rotting too fast. I need to switch to the plastic ones.

Rejetted to Dynojet 96 jets from DJ 98s since I swapped back to the stock exhaust header and can. They're the equivalent of stock Keihin 98 jets. Hoping for better than 150 miles to the tank!

TreyL · February 6th, 2015, 04:52 PM

I removed my garbage chain and got ready for mid 70's weather tomorrow.

NevadaWolf · February 7th, 2015, 12:47 AM

Installed the new pegs, topped off the oil and coolant, repaired some busted accessory wiring, and repainted my rims. Ready for the new year!

sparky80 · February 7th, 2015, 06:30 AM

cleaned her all up and ready to sell.

NevadaWolf · February 7th, 2015, 08:52 AM

Ohh shiney.

Sticking with the FZ1 or going for something new?

sparky80 · February 7th, 2015, 09:11 AM

Sticking with the FZ. I realized that I like the little bike but have probably gotten too used to the power of the Yamaha too much.
It's just not for me.

Suki2003 · February 7th, 2015, 09:42 AM

been working on cleaning the piston seals and replacing the pads. Had trouble bleeding the front line. Just finished that this morning. Lever is hard...mmm...

time to wait until the roads aren't salty to wear in the pads and ride again....

JohnnyBravo · February 7th, 2015, 12:47 PM

It's a shame I'm not out enjoying the weather, but pizza and beer is callin my name...

Romeo peed on baby shreks tire though

Ghostt · February 7th, 2015, 08:32 PM

Should have been working on mine, fixing my small problem

but it was a great day to do nothing, but to enjoy the weather.

csmith12 · February 8th, 2015, 09:44 AM

Unloaded the bikes from the trailer and back to the garage.

JohnnyBravo · February 8th, 2015, 10:15 AM

I have heard almost enough motorcycles to drag me out of bed, just Gota wait till the church traffic gets settled an I may go for a jaunt.

Skullz · February 8th, 2015, 10:40 AM

Uncovered the bike with wet and snow cleared roads at 39* and went for a ride, amazing what some MMO in the gas tank has done for the gas over the last few weeks of sitting, started and purred instantly instead of turning over for a bit before firing up.

MMO = Marvel Mystery Oil

sharky nrk · February 8th, 2015, 04:31 PM

Nothing .... but I did go ride the 6R for about and hour and a half.

Daks · February 9th, 2015, 01:10 AM

Cleaned/lubed chain, installed some formerly fallen out fairing bolts.

JohnnyBravo · February 9th, 2015, 02:33 AM

Had a pretty sweet ride

That marvelous mystery oil is some good stuff !!!

astricklin · February 11th, 2015, 02:09 PM

last weekend, charged battery, changed oil, and got her fired up. cleaned and lubed the chain. ordered brake pads and new braided line for the front. those will arrive today and go on this coming weekend.

Don't forget to disassemble and clean the caliper, and flush, and filled with new brake fluid.

liquidnine · February 11th, 2015, 06:08 PM

Replaced the clutch cable that gave way today on my way to lunch. Replaced the petcock too, since it would flow fuel without a vacuum.

Last weekend had front springs, sprockets and chain put on. I did the rear shock and chaon guard. Made little tank panels too (to hide the bolt holes)

Fork Springs are the second best mod you can do for the bike with tires being the first. Oddly for me, I just finally got around to replacing mine just now after owning the bike all these years.

liquidnine · February 13th, 2015, 08:10 PM

The suspension upgrades have been great. My rear wheel would be in the air and spin up at with even moderate bumps. The bike feels much more stable now and still feels comfortable to ride.

New mufflers were today's addition!

Singh2jz · February 14th, 2015, 09:32 PM

Got her finished up in time for a valentine's day ride!!! Ooooooommyyyygodddddd..she's a whole different animal now! I should have my write up posted by tonight..we'll see lol.

antiant · February 16th, 2015, 04:31 PM

Got my new tires on (Michelin Pilot Street Radials), oil changed and the chain lubed and cleaned. Wow, what a difference in tires from the stock IRC's. I just rode it around the block for a quick jaunt and you can definitely tell how sticky they are in comparison.

Yeah those are nice, just wait til you ride in the rain on those. It's amazing to feel the same grip in the rain that you do in the dry. They feel almost as good as the Q3s that I have on my gsxr in terms of grip, they'll last a hell of a lot longer though

Yeah, I was going to be the type of rider who didn't ride in the rain, but I did it on the IRC's. I think I'll have way more confidence in the rain with these PSR's. It's all about pace and going slow in different types of conditions. I got to get the proper gear for rain though.
