250r matte black

pomartin · April 8th, 2012, 04:38 PM

Yesterday i bought 08´ ninja 250r.

It is preety much in its original state, has only 4500km and was re-painted.
Originally it was green.
It has dammaged fuel tank, as the previous owner dropped something on top of it

.. but it will be fixed ASAP

i only have these 2 pics... still waiting for camera to return from service :P

For starting i have in plans K&N air and oil filter, and akrapovič exhaust system.

Can somebody give ma a link to some good store with ninja250 tunning parts? i was searching the net, bit didnt find anything for 250...

hope you like it

welcome.
That black looks pretty good and easy to clean.

If it were me, I'd look into getting some black hardware on your fairings. Those silver bolts stand out. Oh and a proper fender eliminator and I'd say

Thx for the suggestions

yes, i agree that i have to do some work on visual appearance... i was thinking about black front-glass too... what do you think?

Today it was my first time on highway

My driver licence instructor decided that its about time for us to go speeding

Must say i am pleasently suprised over the bikie

then i took it in workshop to change tires and when we come home, i gave her a shower

(click to enlarge)

and yes... vignette sucks... i have a big shiny spot in the middle of black bike

Makes me think it's something batman would ride lol.

But it looks really good.

I had the option between blue and black, If I got black I was going to wrap the fearings etc in matte black vinyl. I like it.

str8t six · May 20th, 2012, 08:32 PM

Man that looks great!!!

now you just need to black out that exhaust!

pomartin · May 21st, 2012, 02:46 AM

thanks

Do you think that high-temp black spray will do the job?
Is preparation of the surface required ? (it seems to smooth for direct painting??)

pomartin · July 13th, 2012, 02:54 PM

At first i taught it will begin boring me after a month, but now, after 3 months I am enjoying it more than ever... these bikes are amazing

On todays ride i doubbeled the traveled distance since i bought her (4500km-->9000km)

sory for extremely bad quality... it was middle of the ride and i only have my cellphone with me

No mods yet, but a tons of new experience.
Curently saving for leovince full system and leovince fast, and still thinking about painting the exhaust

average 4l/100km... about 60mpg

That looks great, I've always had my eye on a stealth bomber black 848 Evo stealth.

Carbon exhaust would look well on it, smoked lenses or flushmounts too

pomartin · July 13th, 2012, 03:39 PM

i just checked the bike you mentioned... wow.. I`m so getting this.. some day hehe

exhaust will be carbon, cus leo do not have black steel.. so i have no choice actualy...

other things will have to wait... engine first

Renner · July 13th, 2012, 03:44 PM

Take some Grille paint and matte black that exhaust, and chop that fender....I love matte black bikes...SEXY BEAST!!!

pomartin · July 13th, 2012, 03:50 PM

will do.
on monday, right after school exam

do you think that paint will attach to chrome good enough to stay on?
or is sand-pappering it neccesary?

When I did mine, I made use to sandpaper the muffler to a very dull finish. I think I used 140 100 and 60 grit Then I washed it, made sure it was completely ry and dirt/lint free and started to painted it with Flat Black Spray Paint that was made for outdoor grills. It is rated to 1200 degrees so you will be fine.

I suggest making a small paint booth with cardboard boxes and drop clothes and then what I did was took a pole across the paint booth and some wire and strung the muffler up in the air through the bolt hole which normally attached to your passenger pegs. This gave me free range of motion and the muffler never touched anything.

I went over the muffler with the whole can, changing direction in between coats and waiting 45 min between coats also...so it was a long process but I love it!

I kept the polished cap as I like the way it looks, which is also the way the 2010 ninja have there mufflers as well. I think with the shield that hides the mid pipe and the silver muffler end cap and matte black muffler in the middle it looks awesome. Just unbolt the end cap, don't try taping a line

sweet merciful god, matte black 250r looks amazing...

pomartin · July 14th, 2012, 05:07 PM

hehe tnx. it`ll look even better when i put my hands on it

@Rener tnx for taking time and writing all this. It will help a lot!

pomartin · July 16th, 2012, 01:04 PM

well.. i was super-excited to repaint the muffler, but the store didnt have any high-temp color in stock -.-
will have to wait few days
