did you pull the baffles?, iv had the rivets out but the baffle didn't seem to wan to move how did you get it out? was a re-jet needed after removal?

Tommy · June 22nd, 2009, 03:33 PM

I didnt do it, PO did. Looks like he drilled out a few spots on the cans, other than that im not sure. He didnt rejet it, and the bike seems to run fine without it.

I dont recommend it, it sounds pretty terrible. Its very - angry lawn mower sounding

You have a parole officer? And he took the baffles off your bike? He really want's to know where you and your angry lawnmower are doesn't he?

I hope it is prety good because I plan on getting one. I have waited quite a while for them to come out for the pre-gens.

kkim · June 25th, 2009, 02:28 PM

Ooooh, Kerrr-ry!!!??

m3fan4ever · June 25th, 2009, 03:40 PM

Will I have to remove my centerstand to install the full system exhaust? I know it isn't necessary but it is really handy and I would like to keep it.

kbryant · June 25th, 2009, 03:55 PM

We do appreciate all the interest. Because of that, we have officially put the system into production and up on our website -
http://www.areapnolimits.com/product...Ninja-1988.php

You can retain the centerstand if you wish.

The "Ninjette" introductory deal will be announced soon.

Stock pipes are going on tomorrow, bought a set off ebay. If you want the ricer pipes, they're all yours, just cover the shipping...otherwise they're going in the garbage.

Verus Cidere · August 5th, 2009, 10:56 AM

Any news on availability and timing? The AP site says late August, but exactly how late? I've got the money now, just waiting on the exhaust to be ready. Also, any news on the discount amounts, since it's almost time for the exhaust to come out? Sorry if I bug, but I'm excited to get my hands on one of these amazing exhausts!

kbryant · August 5th, 2009, 11:14 AM

Still trending towards the end of this month to be assembled. Essentially all the components have come through manufacturing and should go into final assembly within the next two weeks. We will be annoucing it here, and directly to those who have contacted us by e-mail when we are sure of the availability date. Still not ready to announce the group discount. It will be significant depending on how many people actually confirm placing orders on this site. Ninjette members will be get first priority, as this is where the initial interest was generated. Stay tuned. We're almost there.

kkim · August 5th, 2009, 11:18 AM

Kerry, thanks for the Ninjette priority consideration. Can't wait to see the pregen guys happy with your new exhaust.

Snake · August 5th, 2009, 11:58 AM

Thanks Kerry. This will be a great addition to my bike.

Verus Cidere · August 5th, 2009, 10:55 PM

I am so far beyond excited to get my hands on one of these beauties! Thanks for all your work so far and thanks in advance for the amazing product I'm going to buy from you!

Purspeed · August 12th, 2009, 03:05 PM

My Area-P exhaust has golden tones on the pipe area now and when combined with the stainless and carbon fiber, it looks stunning.

I was looking at pic's of my bike stock and now with the exhaust (and all the of little parts that go along with it) and it looks like a different bike...in a seriously good way.

noche_caliente · August 12th, 2009, 04:48 PM

Welcome Brian and Matt! I'm sure you will love the new system when you get it! Be sure to post up an intro in the new members section so you can have a proper welcome!

Verus Cidere · August 14th, 2009, 02:06 AM

I seriously can't wait until it's ready!!!! It's killing me!!

Greg_E · August 15th, 2009, 10:23 PM

I'm actively working on finding a used Ninjette and will almost definitely end up with a 2007 or slightly earlier, so I read this thread with great interest. Why would a grown man that has ridden 600 cc sport bikes want a little 250? About the same reason that I wanted a little YSR50, just something that I can crack wide open and have fun with and still not get into too much trouble with speeding. Man that YSR was fun when I had it on the road!

Anyway on to the questions... Does this exhaust benefit from keeping the gasses hot all the way back to the can by wrapping with insulating exhaust tape? If I'm going to do it, I might as well do it all the way right? Is there room to weld an O2 sensor mount? If I can find the pieces I will want to convert whatever I get to EFI with a MicroSquirt DIY system (same as a MegaSquirt but smaller surface mount components). Also I did not see any mention of a definite deal for Ninjette members, is that still a consideration? I would need the entire intake to output package as that seems the only real way to go (until/if EFI can be built).

Thanks

Verus Cidere · August 15th, 2009, 11:01 PM

.........Well, as I'm a tech noob and not a representative or employee of Area-P, I can't answer most of your questions... I do know that there is going to be a Ninjette member discount, but that the exact amount of the discount has not yet been revealed. Hope that helps...

Greg_E · August 15th, 2009, 11:11 PM

I may have to wait a bit anyway, whatever I buy will definitely need new tires.

There is no measurable difference in power by wrapping the headpipe assembly. Only on the highest horsepower applications can you see a slight difference from an internal and external coating treatment (ie: HPC, Embee, etc.). Otherwise the primary reason it's done, is for external cooling of surrounding components and/or area. We do not recommend wrapping the exhaust. It will void the warranty. The "wrap" does not allow it to cool and dry naturally. As you retain heat and moisture within thin gauge stainless steel, it will become brittle over time and potentially fail.

Yes, there is room to install an 02 Bung. Simply depends on where you wish to install it and if you use a 12mm or 18mm Bung.

We will be announcing the exclusive Ninjette deal later today. It will be on the package.

Greg_E · August 17th, 2009, 08:55 AM

Cool, thanks. I need to get in touch with another guy on the MS forums (MegaSquirt and or MicroSquirt) because he wants to do the same thing that I want to do, so we can decide what specific O2 sensor will work best for the MicroSquirt. He already has the throttle plates, injectors, and fuel rail from a wrecked UK bike so he is way father ahead than I am. I still need to buy a bike to do all this stuff too (maybe today or tomorrow if luck is on my side).

Any problem if I send you an O2 sensor so you can check fitting, etc. with an order? That way we can make sure that it is located in a good place and it is the correct size bung. I might even get a display and use it for tuning the carbs, or I'll just plug the whole until I can sort out the FI components.
