Green bikes are just more satisfying... we don't need to ride as much to know what fast is.

M-Oorb · December 22nd, 2008, 10:08 PM

Well it doesnt get that much dust...since I dont get to see it that often when I do ride it, it gets washed about once a week

. I hafta make it feel like its still loved and not neglected

And thats very true kkim. As soon as I get home from the airport I just look at my green ninjette and its like its saying "Yea ive been sitting here for a while...but I still kick ass and can carve it up

"

If you rode more you'd get used to it and you would know how slow it is

Yes, much better! It will be taken care of better there than I ever did.

I photo Tyke's Odo and since I was over there takin her picture with the new cam I scooted her around the storage complex

a few times and settled snapped one.. (I tend to do these at the ends of my rides and so I have a catalog of Odo pictures)

(though this picture was taken with the Cybershot not d40)

Nemy · December 27th, 2008, 11:19 PM

Got mine in June and just put her away 2 weeks ago with a bit more than 10,000km... dont ask me what that is in miles cause you guys should be metric!

G250RSC · December 30th, 2008, 07:41 PM

Got my 2008 in July and have 9005 miles on it.

I have not yet. Just got back from Oklahoma and plan on getting the bike checked out fully. I have a little vibration and hesitation in first gear.

kkim · December 30th, 2008, 07:50 PM

I'd be very curious to know what they find. Be sure they provide you details if they need to adjust the valves... which valves needed what shims, etc.

I will definately post what they find. Good thing I have the extra warranty but I am hoping it is nothing major.

have you had the valves checked/adjusted yet?

minizoom · January 17th, 2009, 10:11 PM

Nope not yet. I read in another forum where this guy checked the valves at 10k and it was within spec still. Engine sounds perfect. I'll have it checked at 15k.

kkim · January 17th, 2009, 10:17 PM

Vex checked his at 8K and needed adjustment. Just trying to get a feel on how these bikes hold their specs.

minizoom · January 17th, 2009, 10:20 PM

In that case I better have it checked soon.

kkim · January 17th, 2009, 10:29 PM

When you do have it checked/adjusted, could you please post your results here?

Purchased: New on July 16, 2008
Mileage: almost 1300 (I don't know exact and it's too &!*%ing cold in the garage to look)
I had to stop riding in the beginning of November because of the weather so I really only had about 3.5 months of good riding.

Criomega · January 20th, 2009, 03:44 PM

I've had my bikes for close to a year now and I think i win the most unused contest here.

Green one 164 miles

Kurosaki · January 22nd, 2009, 07:38 PM

Rolled over 7200 last weekend.

Not looking forward to doing the valves and such at 7500 and I'm not paying someone else to do it. And I need to do the brakes soon and change the oil.

And do brakes, oil, and other 30,000 mile service tasks on my Corolla as well.
