What Did You Do to Your Ninjette Today ?? - Page 35

JeffM · December 17th, 2011, 10:16 PM

Pulled the bike out of the garage after not riding it for a month, put on my winter wings, drove over to Cycle Gear and bought a balaclava. Then I went for a 45 minute ride. It was a nice sunny 30 out.

I'll have to do the same when I do some more work with the carbs.

I think my CBR250 hugger came in. Got to pick it up at the front office

choneofakind · December 18th, 2011, 12:00 PM

Post pictures of the hugger! I'm going to try that on the pre-gen once I get around to actually ordering it. More worried about getting paint on a few model rockets right now...

Those 16 mm M4's should work for your carb bowls, but I think the brackets for the diaphragm caps might be different on the new gen. The thread I used for reference was on a newgen and said that the 3 on the diaphragm caps with brackets on them needed longer ones, I double checked those 3 and they seemed right for me. Maybe the brackets are different between the new and old generation bikes?

Finally! Hopefully it works out well for you

pjed · December 18th, 2011, 08:04 PM

Been sitting for a while so got it out along with the rest, put some fresh gas in em and some sta-bil. It actually fired up first without any issues...which is more than I can say for the others.

killamuf · December 19th, 2011, 02:48 PM

Went out riding today....with new gear..!

choneofakind · December 27th, 2011, 12:09 PM

I got new gloves today for myself. Happy birthday a few days early choneofakind!

finally got my last 8 hex head screws for my carbs and re-installed the carbs. Also, replaced the spark plugs, and have a chain + sprocket + cbr250 hugger + new brake lever coming in the mail

Thanks...going to sell the green KZ in the spring. Four bikes is getting to be a little too much LOL.

emoyer · December 27th, 2011, 05:12 PM

rode about 25 miles, filled the tank, got caught in the rain. still had fun tho. hoping to get out tomorrow too, but its supposed to be windy.

Alex · December 27th, 2011, 07:17 PM

Went for a ride up and around the Calaveras loop. Only 30 miles or so, but it was good to get the ninjette back on the road; it was sitting for a few weeks. Took a little effort to get it started, but once up and running it cleared its throat just fine and performed great!

klewi · December 28th, 2011, 09:15 AM

Today I unlocked the shed. Adjusted my baby's cover. Patter her on the bottom. Shed a tear thinking its still months before I can ride her again. Locked the shed back up and shuffled away.

killamuf · December 28th, 2011, 09:52 AM

looked out my window today, bright and sunny...! went down, wore all my gear opened my door and BOOM wind just blew me over. So decided to stay in. ;(

Ha, I had a similar reaction, but without the gear. It is warmer now, so I may suit up and go.

It's nice to have a bulletproof little bike that is loads of fun, but still willing to start up after sitting.

MustangGuy · December 31st, 2011, 09:39 AM

Today I am putting the bottom center fairing back on. Yesterday I took it off, cleaned 4+ years of grease and road grime from it and epoxied a couple of super strong magnets in it. Of course, they may or may not trigger those damn traffic light sensors - we have a lot of them here, so it's worth a shot.

coolbreeze · December 31st, 2011, 11:07 AM

Put 30 miles on it so far... will add another 45 before the sun goes down and get the pic for the picture game.

kevheads · December 31st, 2011, 12:08 PM

nothing, to cold out in the garage, plus garage isn't big enough to leave the bike tore apart and still get the mrs's car in it,still trying to talk the Mrs. into bring it into the house on the sunroom. My list of mods to put on it keep growing weekly.
Mods still sitting in the box:
Area-P Exhaust
Dyno-Jet Kit
K&N Air Filter
Harris Grips
Ninja Bar Ends
Pro-Tek foot pegs
Rear Hugger
Vortex 15 tooth sprocket
V-Grill engine cover

massacremasses · January 2nd, 2012, 07:04 PM

bought a slip on

Nemesis · January 2nd, 2012, 07:07 PM

I touched her when she wasn't looking.

choneofakind · January 2nd, 2012, 09:39 PM

hey heyheyyyy Nemesis is sneakin one when he can get it

today I finished buttoning everything up after installing a new chain and sprockets (14/47) and cleaning/lubing my clutch cable a few days ago.

NDspd · January 3rd, 2012, 06:35 AM

Hahaha^^^

I'm putting on my ram mount for a garmin nuvi1450, lubing the chain, putting in a 12v accessory slot, giving her a good cleaning and some TLC.

Got my new one put on today as well! Also took it out and did a quick detail on it. I need to actually wash it completely though. I'll try and get a few pics up of it later today.

Bro where did you get the graphics/decals? If i am not mistaken, there is no special edition that looks like that or a color. Enlighten me bro..!

and judging by your avatar, it looks reflective. Awesome bike man.!

saxnbass · January 5th, 2012, 12:51 PM

It's a 2012 SE. However, from the factory it came with power ranger stripes:

You can see more about the progression of my bike in this thread:

choneofakind · January 6th, 2012, 09:20 AM

I serviced my swingarm and uni trak linkage! Once again, thank you PO for keeping my bike in pristine condition!!! Normal wear, no discoloration or rust!

There's a lot of little pieces in there...

My CBR250R hugger should get here today. That should be interesting to fit to my swingarm seeing as the pre-gen is a little narrower than the new-gen's

killamuf · January 6th, 2012, 04:40 PM

@saxnbass - oh wow man, i had no idea the 2012 SE came with power ranger stripes. Nice man. gonna check out your thread.

squaregamer476 · January 6th, 2012, 11:03 PM

rode it for a few miles today around the barbers pt area. Still working on my cornering. Need to do more fig 8's. Planning to hit roundtop next week.

killamuf · January 7th, 2012, 02:10 PM

The weather was awesome today.....but I didnt go out riding. So pissed.

squaregamer476 · January 7th, 2012, 02:40 PM

rode it around for about 45mins.

NDspd · January 7th, 2012, 03:13 PM

Rode for about 3 hours and then ran into a awesome group of supersports. They were surprised that I was riding a 250.

saxnbass · January 7th, 2012, 03:21 PM

Decided to leave some tire marks on the road from being cut off. Rear tyre screeched some and I felt it drift side to side, rode it out, nothing bad happened other than my nerves and anger.

Alex · January 7th, 2012, 03:26 PM

More front brake, less rear brake.

Agger · January 7th, 2012, 03:57 PM

Technically I did it yesterday but I installed the Custom LED integrated tail light and Hotbodies MGP growler exhaust

I know. For some reason, ever since I installed my SS brake line, my front brake feels weaker. I don't know, maybe I was just expecting more braking power than it actually gave me and it's just in my head. Or maybe dirty brake pads?
