New Member from DC Metro Area

Hi Everyone!

I'm a new member currently in the DC Metro area/NoVA. My wife and I got our '05 250 just last fall and after putting in a bunch of work, as it had been sitting in a garage for 5 years, we got it up and running and then promptly hit a loose grate on a blind corner and dropped it.

Since then we have taken him apart and are turning him into a sexy little streetracer for my wife. We are both fairly new riders, but are super into our little ninjette and excited to get into the community a bit more. I sure learned a bunch about carbs and how they work, though I am still struggling with wiring and how to connect our new speedometer, so any help would also be appreciated!

Have a great one and feel free to reach out!
Here are two pictures of what little Dani Pedrosa looks like now!

Thank you all for the warm welcome!! If anyone has any experience throwing a new speedometer on a streetfighter I would love to connect! Trying to get our bad ass little Dani Pedrosa up and running before this weekend!

Welcome! Nice mirrors, been looking for something like that.

As for your speedo, there are several youtube videos.

Good luck and keep posting photos!

Thanks! I just got the speedo finalized today and we are going out for a ride tomorrow so we'll take some pictures for everyone! The mirrors are
E-Bro Motorcycle Rearview Mirrors for Kawasaki Z1000 Z750 ER6 03-11/Z750 04-11/ER- 6N 06-10/ZRX1200 01-08 Black that we found on amazon for less than $20. They look very similar to the stock mirrors on my Z650 and my wife really wanted our bikes to have some similarities, like the black and green colors.

Soooo we had too much fun and forgot to take any pictures. BUT we did find out that I didn’t connect the rpm wire properly and it just read redline from like 3000rpm up. Luckily my wife does her riding by ear based on her experience racing atvs growing up. Apparently the whole “just wrap it around the spark plug cable” does not work. We are trying to find some cool new places to go that aren’t just out 50 and back, but pictures will be coming eventually! Especially after a bath. Hahah.

We finally took some pictures, but we forgot to do it until we were practically home. Take three next week and the week after!
