psych0hans · September 29th, 2012, 09:09 PM

Congratz on the new ride bro!!! Looks sweet

butt looks to me like lil kyle's gonna be stealing it from you sooner than later... Lol.

P.s. What frugal said, dibs on your throttle bodies

NDspd · September 30th, 2012, 05:17 AM

Nice choice on the white!!! Almost wish I had started out on the 300, but the 250 was still a great little bike.

Aufitt · September 30th, 2012, 05:29 AM

Congrats Alex, well written and a good insight into it and the old model.

Mine should be on track Nov10 or December30, will be able to give thoughts regarding it and the cbr.

Congrats!

blink · September 30th, 2012, 09:59 AM

That is actually a veerrrryyyy good looking bike!

greenaero · September 30th, 2012, 11:21 AM

Alex, Congratulations on your beautiful new bike!

I'm curious about the fuel economy with the new FI . Couls d you let us know what kind of mpg yu are getting?
thank you, GA

fleemos · September 30th, 2012, 11:49 AM

There's a fuel economy poll for the new 300's in the 300 tech section.

At some rpms, yes. But at others, it feels about the same. It feels buzziest around 8000 rpm, which is a pretty common speed with the new gearing. It's no buzzier than the 250, and probably a bit better even then. But at some other rpms, it feels even smoother.

snot · September 30th, 2012, 04:22 PM

Congrats on the new bike!

choneofakind · September 30th, 2012, 04:30 PM

Hey @csmith12, you talked about me wearing my track day excitement like a neon sign. I think I finally have a good example of what you meant:

thomason2wheels · September 30th, 2012, 05:01 PM

I must admit i am ninja green with envy. Gorgeous in white too, Alex. Cant wait to hear more as you get to know it better....just out of curiosity, what revs are you turning at 60 mph?

Alex · September 30th, 2012, 05:23 PM

At 80 mph (actual, not indicated), the tach says the engine is turning 9000 rpm. So at 60 mph, it's somewhere around 7000 rpm, plus or minus a few hundred. I bounced off the rev limiter once today accidentally, and it did cut out at exactly 13k on the tach, so perhaps it's reasonably close to reality. That does mean that if it had the power to get there, it would hit the limiter in top gear at about 115.5 mph. It does get up to 100 reasonably easily, but another 15 on top might be a little much to ask from a stock bike, but with an effective exhaust, maybe it could surprise us.

It's now up to 290 miles on the odo. The brake feel is a little better than it was earlier, and there is enough power when you clamp down. But it's still not great, and will be upgraded when I can.

At high speed this morning in a sweeper, I hit a bump and the rear end moved around a little more than I would like. I really shouldn't have been riding at speed without having the rear suspension set more correctly for my, umm, girth, so I fixed that this afternoon. DIY to be posted shortly on how to adjust the rear shock preload. I'm hoping that having the shock at "4" will be a little more controlled under faster/stronger loads than the as-delivered "2".

csmith12 · September 30th, 2012, 06:47 PM

yea Chone, if your smile got any bigger it wouldn't have fit in your helmet.

Magicride · September 30th, 2012, 07:30 PM

Congrats Alex!! I'm still waiting for my dealer to give me an update of when they'll be getting mine in. I put a deposit on a white one the 15th and called a week later and they said they would call when they know something. Hopefully soon I'll get my ninjette!

rusninja · October 1st, 2012, 01:44 AM

@Alex So no problems

? Help me troubleshoot because i dont think they getting anywhere with my bike dash works fine then it gaps then starts giving me like a blinky 125 mph at like 40 tach floats then goes out then sometimes come back on. Bikes still in shop. :/

Dafuq?

rusninja · October 1st, 2012, 01:57 AM

Yup sucks bikes sitting at dealers with 57 miles It would have so much more by now.

Jiggles · October 1st, 2012, 02:10 AM

You can stop trying to cover, we all know you crashed

rusninja · October 1st, 2012, 02:20 AM

Shut up @Jiggles I havent crashed it but i only rode two days knock on wood.

Bet it's slow because they are waiting for a new dash for you at this point. Parts being new like this could take awhile to get to them. Hope you see the road again soon enough.

Aufitt · October 1st, 2012, 06:45 AM

Charge your battery and check the terminals.
Alot of batteries die from dealers not giving it a full charge at pre delivery stage.. then it prematurely dies.

sharky nrk · October 1st, 2012, 07:43 AM

Wow, in white that thing looks like the business - love it. I am going to have to go and test ride one

CThunder-blue · October 1st, 2012, 09:26 AM

Congrats Alex! That looks better in your garage than the pics I've seen on the web. I'm not sure why people are not liking the digital speedo. IT HAS A CLOCK! I think that's pretty awesome. Maybe a speedo healer will be developed for the bike now that it has a digital speedo too.

broken neck · October 1st, 2012, 09:52 AM

Nice motorcycle...

White is the nicest one...

Out of curiosity, can you switch the speedometer from mph to kmh?

dino74 · October 1st, 2012, 10:03 AM

Alex,

I'm soooo jealous

But good for you!

What your opinion of the kick stand mount? Do you think a tracked 300 needs to have the mount cut off?

tnr4 · October 1st, 2012, 11:03 AM

Quick question for you Alex: what are the deets on the break-in service? How many miles before you do it? Is it just oil change? With the new easy-access oil plug will this be an easy DIY if you grab a few quarts of oil before leaving the dealership?

I just found the first one to hit the floors within a 100 mile radius of me, so I'm getting serious. But I know I'll put several hundred miles on it in the first few days, so wondering about how to deal with getting it serviced after break-in.

Thanks!

Travis

Yes, you can toggle it from mph to kmh. It seems to default to mph, as it kept it as that when I disconnected the battery (which reset the clock).

I forgot to look at it closely. I'll take a look when I get a chance today and see if it's similar to the new-gen bikes.

The maintenance schedule in the owners manual looks identical to the new-gen schedule. The service manual isn't available yet, at least publicly, so it's hard to tell exactly everything that is included and how exactly they plan on doing it for each service. The first service looks to be primarily an oil change and a general check of nuts/bolts/etc. I've seen the same things as posted elsewhere that the new oil filter location/design makes it possible to remove and replace it without even having to remove any bodywork.

choneofakind · October 1st, 2012, 12:03 PM

Nah, you just don't want video evidence of your crazy @$$ riding style that would put all us 25 and under riders to shame.

Right?

speedgsx98 · October 1st, 2012, 01:32 PM

THX for the thorough review Alex. I live in San Diego. So, curious what you purchased the bike for OTD? I have a 7.75% tax rate in my county.

I would like to think I could get one OTD for about $5,200...not sure how supply is on them yet though. I've been actually looking at a new Honda PCX150 scooter, but after trying out another 163cc Kymco scooter that topped out at 61mph on the test ride, I may need to get another REAL motorcycle. I'm hopeful that the 300 will be putting out much better MPG numbers than the carb'd 250 did.

A little over $6k. Not going to happen for $5200 in California this year. (I'd be truly happy for people to prove this wrong, as long as they then steer the rest of potential buyers here to the places where deals were available).

The Costco price looks to be in the $5500 - $5600 range, which is probably the bottom end of what's possible.

Cool, and doesn't the Costco price inclue a $250 gift card or something?

I used to sell bikes at a big dealership and invoice was 15% off retail across the board. We'd do 10% off retail and try to make $100 or more on F&S...that is where I got my $5200 estimate from. If they were saddled with a dozen bikes then maybe, but if they're sold within days of arrival, then yeah...supply and demand.

rusninja · October 1st, 2012, 03:42 PM

So any plans for your bike alex or bare essentials like the 250 :P?

Alex · October 1st, 2012, 03:46 PM

Check out the tech section.

tnr4 · October 1st, 2012, 07:52 PM

Hey Alex, sorry to keep pestering you, but you're the Guinea Pig! Three other questions: first, how are the vibrations? Second: some dude online said that he kept getting false neutrals all over the place -- have you had that problem? No one else has said it, so I assumed that it was his issue. Finally, what about that whole 'boot on the exhaust' thing. Any melting? I know it's a heat shield, but it looks awfully close for comfort.

Thanks!

I'm hopeful that the 300 will be putting out much better MPG numbers than the carb'd 250 did. __________________________________________________ 90 EX250 Ninja, 92 FZR600, 86 CR125, 77 GS750, 73 RD350, 86 CR250, RD350 in SRX250 frame, 75 RD350, 99 RM125, 99 GSXR750, 07 Reflex, 02 250 Ninja, 02 GSXR1k, 08 ZX10R, 07 250 Ninja, 05 250 ninja

Three other questions: first, how are the vibrations? Second: some dude online said that he kept getting false neutrals all over the place -- have you had that problem? No one else has said it, so I assumed that it was his issue. Finally, what about that whole 'boot on the exhaust' thing. Any melting? I know it's a heat shield, but it looks awfully close for comfort. Thanks!
