kevheads · October 22nd, 2011, 03:59 PM

installed my "the2wheels" adjustable green shorty levers I got in the mail today. The green is way off but still looks better than the stock ones and the short levers are great. I was surprised it took exactly 14 days to get to my door.

Magz · October 22nd, 2011, 06:52 PM

Went a nice fall ride at sunset. A little chilly, but the scenery makes up for it.

wayanlam · October 22nd, 2011, 09:09 PM

test drove my bored up bike~ and then took it back to the mechanic to tweak a couple last things before i can take my baby back home

wayanlam · October 23rd, 2011, 12:53 AM

uploaded the vids onto youtube, of yesterdays long long day at the mechanics rebuilding my bike

sadly i still dont know how to embed vidoes yet. been too lazy to dead that DIY since the beginning, since i rarely upload videos, lol... Alexxx... please help, again. hehe

Mr.E · October 23rd, 2011, 02:05 AM

Link to original page on YouTube.

Link to original page on YouTube.

pretty sure i did it right, im on a phone so i cant preview.

Any who, my ninjette did it again, it stole some money and started buying its self things. This time, its a set of pazzo levers. Reason being because I saw the 2wheels, and was going to get them at first, but I saw how off the red seemed to be to me on just the adjuster, and decided i wanted something a little more solid. Im very big on looks.

cant decide if i want to get progrips or if there are any other good ones out there. Or what kind of progrips that fit out bike. I heard the 717?

cuong-nutz · October 23rd, 2011, 06:34 AM

The video embedding worked. Are you talking about tank grips or hand grips?

I don't think I'll be installing my Driven clip-one anytime soon. It looks like I need tires soon. Probably by Mid next month. I may sell the clip-ons so I can get tires.

I cleaned my chain this morning before I left for work. I may need to tighten up my chain some.

So basically now with that extra 5hp your ninjette can beat the pants off of every other ninjette in existence??

str8t six · October 23rd, 2011, 02:51 PM

ive rode almost 300 miles this weekend!!!

i need to clean out the carbs, she is busting up when cruising in low gear.

depends if its a stock or modded ninjer, @ stock the dyno runs clock up between 24 and 26 hp on the rear wheel. my bike got 38.2 hp on the rear wheel, that's over 12hp on top of a stock bike

but ya, a well tuned bike with a full exhaust, can get up to around 30~32hp so against those, my bike is ahead by about 5~6hp, hehe

my bike is lighter too~ no full farings up front, so the power to weight ratio on my bike is quite good. when i finally fix up my naked bike farings, ill weigh my bike to see what the end result is.

theoretically i should be able to beat most bikes in a straight line, but i need to find me a fellow ninja rider and an empty road to test it out

oh, and a couple hundred more miles on the engine to break it in first, before i go drag racing, lol

Stripped her down excluding tank, front cowl, and front fender then washed and waxed each individual panel.
Couldn't ride today due to wife's work schedule.

Mr.E · October 23rd, 2011, 07:34 PM

whoops, i meant some hande grips, for my handle bars.

@Ed, now its up to almost 400 miles lol. Ive been having a lot of rain and some nights of cold weather stopping me x-(

I had a little issue today, where the hooks on my cargo net was loose on the bike hook. I tried different method to make sure that it wouldn't come loose while riding. So when I got home, I drilled holes in the bike hooks so that my cargo hooks could actually hook thru them.

bhalv · October 28th, 2011, 05:34 PM

install a set of pro taper risers and pro taper evo bars. been about 3 weeks in the making and finally had time to get it done, yes i know its worthless without pics but it cold and dark out right now so you all can wait

"A" · November 2nd, 2011, 02:09 PM

Rode it, changed oil/filter, added Stabil, topped off the tank, rode it some more and got it ready for the winter storage.

Guoseph · November 2nd, 2011, 04:29 PM

Replaced 10 year old Dunlop front tire with Bridgestone BT-45. First time changing my own tire. It took a lot longer than Youtube

Much improved handling, rain grooves and road imperfections are no longer pucker inducing, and the bike now goes where I want it to go instead of me guessing at where it wants to go.

I remember that feeling! It felt good to lean without worrying if the tire would hold up.

cuong-nutz · November 4th, 2011, 06:29 PM

I was heading home towards Houston from The Lone Star Rally and midway of the trip my Ninja started acting up. It was sputtering under throttle but idle fine with no load and clutch in. Also the tach was jumping all over the place. I hit traffic on the highway so pulled over on the left shoulder and turned it off. Tried to turn it back on, nothing no power. Luckily, the Ninja was equipped with the stock tools. I found out that the negative lead on the battery had come undone. I guess all the rattling and harmonics of the engine backed the bolt off the negative wire to the terminal. A lady in a car asked if I was okay and I gave her a thumbs up and she continued on in the stop and go traffic. A cruiser pulled up behind me and asked if I was okay and I told him the situation. He stayed until I got everything buttoned up while giving me light to work with since it was dark.

Big props goes out to the nice lady asking if I was okay and SUPER Propers Bobby, the guy on the cruiser, for stopping to assist

"A" · November 11th, 2011, 08:30 AM

Odometer turned over 10,000 mi., I didn't even notice as it approaches..
Now at 10,062 mi. still runs like a champ, OEM chain/sprocket/tires on a 2004 model.

saxnbass · November 11th, 2011, 02:08 PM

Had my 600 mile service today. I plan to install a new horn tonight, and maybe even shim the needles and pull the snorkel if we get around to it.

They also turn in quickly, grip like it's their job (no pun intended), and feel much more comfortable at lean.

got cutoff by a hummer passing someone going way too slow. couldnt slow down in time and had to split the two. nerve wracking.

Did you do or say anything to guy in hummer or were you more focused on trying not to wreck?

saxnbass · November 16th, 2011, 10:56 AM

Not quite today, but last night I put a new slip on exhaust on her. Sounds soooo much better than stock.

Guoseph · November 21st, 2011, 01:20 PM

Valve adjustment and oil change over the weekend. Feels a lot better now. Wonder how much of the effect was real vs placebo.

Bike still sometimes dies when I come off the gas (stopping for a redlight for example) unless I set the static idle to around 2k. Not sure what the deal is.

Try cleaning you carbs. Pull the plugs off the idle mix adjustment screws. Sync the carbs. Then adjust the idle mix screws on each. That should get it going right, especially after a valve adjustment

Yeah, sounds like that's what I'm going to have to do. I hate working on the carbs though, such a PITA. Maybe I'll just go buy the EFI kit instead

I was working with low light conditions after work and it started raining. Also being somewhat meticulous with the install. I posted up my DIY in farkles.
