B2FiNiTY · April 8th, 2009, 07:53 PM

super price but is it reputable?

rceezy · April 8th, 2009, 08:37 PM

I sure hope so. My bf bought the Intuitives from New Enough for my baby and they should be coming in Friday. *crossing my fingers* that it's a painless procedure in all accounts!

Nemy · April 8th, 2009, 08:49 PM

IIRC there are really only 2 sliders for the 250. Intuitive and Shogun. While most people seem to like the shogun better, they're quite a bit more expensive. but from what I've read everyone still agrees that the 250 sliders are kinda flimsy and mostly useful for standstill drops not at speed.

Jiu Jitsu Player · April 8th, 2009, 09:06 PM

From what I've heard about the two brands- the intuitives are a major PITA to line up properly and get the fairings on. Its such a pain that I've even heard of people giving up on them altogether.
I haven't ordered a pair of sliders yet and this seems like a solid deal, but I may just wind up waiting to get the shoguns. I know there was a thread about the intuitives floating around, but if anyone can share some firsthand experience with the install that would be great!

miks · April 8th, 2009, 09:17 PM

Same here, heard from many people Intuitive Sliders are hard to put on. As for sliders for the 250R, theres also 'R&G'. R&G are meant to be the only sliders for the 250R to reduce insurance or something like that.

aren't R&G the ones that don't fit the carbed version bikes?

mike_sema · April 8th, 2009, 09:34 PM

I have ordered lot of stuff from them and have never had a problem and I just put my order in on the sliders and a few other thing they are a very good company

kkim · April 8th, 2009, 09:37 PM

newenough rocks!!

Jiu Jitsu Player · April 8th, 2009, 09:50 PM

Newenough is solid. I was more concerned with the actual Intuitive slider install and whether it is as big of a PITA as people have been saying.

Wouldn't have a clue mate, saw a DIY done by 'Gregular' I think, and assumed that it would fit all 250Rs. Guess not

djindia23 · April 9th, 2009, 07:37 AM

rceezy, could you let us know how they go when your sliders come in??? im thinkin of ordering sliders and this price is just unbeatable...

Absolutely. I'm going to try to get them done Saturday since my bf will be working on replacing the chain on his track bike. Hopefully I can figure it out myself.

sometimesido · April 9th, 2009, 10:04 AM

I see a new thread coming.

M-Oorb · April 9th, 2009, 10:15 AM

Kelly you are correct...the R&G do not fit the carb'd version only the FI ones

NICUNinja · April 9th, 2009, 02:46 PM

The Intuitive sliders are a 2 person job, and yeah they are a little bit of a pain but are manageable. Definitely need 2 people, makes the job easier. Also a bit tricky lining them up, need patiences. Good luck.

1hardryder4life · April 9th, 2009, 03:04 PM

Shogun FTW!!1

Jiu Jitsu Player · April 9th, 2009, 03:55 PM

Tough call now. The intuitives are roughly half the price of the shoguns....

KJohnson21 · April 9th, 2009, 04:12 PM

Here's my method for lining them up: http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showp...9&postcount=36

rceezy · April 9th, 2009, 04:13 PM

We'll see... if I can get these on, then trust that anyone with two hands can. I'm not the most mechanical/coordinated but I want (well, at least learn how) to do all of my own work!

Jiu Jitsu Player · April 9th, 2009, 04:32 PM

Ken- using that method were you able to install them yourself, or is it a 2 man/woman job?

KJohnson21 · April 9th, 2009, 05:05 PM

I did it "all by myself" and I did have the two main issues, the coolant hose and lining up the two sides.

From checking the DIY I knew what to do for the hose, except that I didn't tighten the clamp enough at first.

For lining them up, I kept fussing with the different placements, trying to guage where they should be.

At some point it dawned on me, when I was looking through the bike to check the alignment, that I could use something passed through both holes to hold/guide/guage both sides.

JaeL · April 9th, 2009, 05:11 PM

Why couldn't Kawi have been nice and just given us somewher to bolt normal ones on!l!! I don't think I will be taking on this project at all.

miks · April 9th, 2009, 05:55 PM

Kawasaki should have put on sliders themself! Save many people the hassle of buying, and installing aftermarket ones

sometimesido · April 9th, 2009, 05:58 PM

and then the price goes up another $200.

miks · April 9th, 2009, 06:00 PM

Thats not that much increase, Shoguns are like $150ish?

sometimesido · April 9th, 2009, 06:10 PM

my point was factory parts.
factory parts are always blown way up.

M-Oorb · April 10th, 2009, 08:27 AM

And I think its been said that spilling at high speeds with these on could do some major damage to the frame. And anyways supersports don't even come with these so I would have been VERY suprised if they came stock with our bike.and by not putting these on kawi makes more money after a spill by people buying fenders and such at outragious prices

. Our bike shoulda came with a better tune and a better exhaust but that's a different arguement for a different day

The bf is racing Wera this weekend so we will be out of town, probably won't have any time until the next weekend.

^^^ Im not sure if they work, but those are the coolest ones I've seen yet!!

Jlin · April 22nd, 2009, 04:10 PM

Got mine today, took forever to install, started at 10 am and just finished 10 minutes ago -_- the factory nuts and bolts are so tight on the kawi.

Small Ninja · April 25th, 2009, 10:05 AM

So if you put the frame sliders on our bikes would it even protect the fairings? our fairings seem to be cheap plastic like stuff

Yes. Speed matters though. There was a girl on kawi forums who spilled 3 or 4 times with the intuitives.The last time she was going pretty fast and they finally bent at the mounting bolts. Her fairings were in pretty good shape. I'll try to find the thread and post it later unless someone beats me to it.in no hurry.
The fairings are abs plastic.

Wheres the DIY for these here? I dont see one!

Jlin · April 25th, 2009, 04:23 PM

Yes it should protect the fairings but not so sure about the exhaust or turn signals haha. Our fairings are made from the same material as other fairings.

Small Ninja · April 25th, 2009, 06:05 PM

Got Ya Thanks Guys my boyfriend hit a pot hole at around 10-15mph cracked the fairings broke the turn signal(but that was a easy fix) and bend the handle bar on the right side so once i replace that i am buying some

BlueRaven · April 25th, 2009, 06:58 PM

i was looking into the frame sliders and it indicated that the they would break (plastic part) if you drop your bike.
