cbinker · January 27th, 2014, 07:05 AM

Damn IT. Stripped a seat bolt!! ugh.

coolbreeze · January 27th, 2014, 07:43 AM

Installed a new battery, and took it for a 30 mile test ride.

Driver seat

JohnnyBravo · January 27th, 2014, 04:11 PM

Put a nice little bit of miles on... Pretty clean ride

cuong-nutz · January 27th, 2014, 04:48 PM

Will be needing to replace the stem bearings soon. I'll probably tackle the job when I get around to ordering my new springs.

Xtina · January 27th, 2014, 04:54 PM

First ride since the valve adjustment and APE CCT, not sure if it's just in my head but the bike runs a lot smoother and the idle is rock solid as it used to fluctuate a tiny bit.

Sirref · January 29th, 2014, 05:53 PM

Changed the oil, I swear to god that the pod was put on by king kong himself (I had the first oil change done by the dealership for warranty purposes.

stegser · January 31st, 2014, 12:40 PM

Went for my first ride on my new ninja today.
I haven't rode a real bike for over 20 year and was a bit worried I needn't have been the little ninja is so easy to ride even when I made the usual noobish mistakes it was very forgiving.
Damn fun I couldn't get the smile off my face

Cant wait till tomorrow hehe

cbinker · January 31st, 2014, 12:44 PM

Looked at her and told her "it will get warm eventually".

NevadaWolf · January 31st, 2014, 12:45 PM

Whoo hoo, way to go Wayne!

That smile never leaves your face on this little bike. Its a very fun machine!

NevadaWolf · January 31st, 2014, 08:23 PM

Got the supposedly OEM connectors in and so set up to install the new LED properly.

Connectors too big and has reversed wiring, broke innards trying to switch wires, jammed them back together and plugged it in, yay works! Wires fell out, release tab broke, threw busted pieces across garage into garbage, cut the OEM female connector off, crimped some blade connectors on, plugged everything back in, still works, wires fell out again...

Walked away

Returned much later, taped the **** out of both wires and connectors, correctly wired up the second connector (they installed it backwards, I plug it in backwards so my black is really red and red is really black), yay that's working. Unplug both to run wires through frame cleanly, broke tab off female side, decided I hate the OEM connectors on the bike and will just go through and install connections that can actually come apart without using a pry bar.

But hey, i have a working LED tail light and two LED rear turn signals.

mgentz · January 31st, 2014, 08:29 PM

JohnnyBravo · January 31st, 2014, 08:43 PM

Oil change, oil sample for Blackstone, lubed chain and clutch cable.

Ran 5k miles on Motul 300V, sending in a sample to Blackstone to see if it's holding up fine.

mgentz · February 1st, 2014, 03:03 PM

Packaged up transmission.

Its crazy how much salt is out there and such a waste.

yea, it's a severe hazard imo. Even in a car you have significantly less traction on it.

redsnapper · February 1st, 2014, 10:15 PM

Today,

I spend hours trying to install the Givi rack on my Ninja 250R 2009 "Blanket Stealer". It was a pain in the ass and I'm 90% done.

Why do I have 10% left? 2 of the screws are too short and I manage to strip them

Later this week, I'm going to go to home depot to grab longer scews.

This is the 2nd time I have ever bought a Givi rack.

The First one was my CBR125r, and it had fitment issues. One of the arms was bend slightly wrong, so after using a blow touch, I was able to bend it a little.

Here's a picture of the place where the screws are too short.

Once I have it all set up, I'll post pictures.

Take care Everybody!!

Wash it off as quickly as possible before rust starts to develope.

LittleRedNinjette · February 2nd, 2014, 01:44 AM

Car wash was in the agenda today. But I think it was on everyone else's too. The line at the car wash was out to the road. Took one look and said aw hell no!
I'll hit it up this week. Sounds like snow again this week anyway.

JohnnyBravo · February 2nd, 2014, 08:47 AM

It's over 50 degrees now, getting into the 60's... You know what I'm gonna do

Klondike1020 · February 4th, 2014, 06:32 AM

Walked out into the 14deg icy cold hell that is NY right now.
Stepped into the garage.
Started a fire in the wood stove

Then stared longingly at both bikes for some time imagining what spring will bring lol.

Un bolted the kick stand and located the oil change stuff I bought for the ninja.

Haha get ready for spring maintenance

I ran mine through the car wash yesterday and afterwards all I could think was "Damn, so that's what my car is supposed to look like." I should have ordered the WeatherTech mats for my Scion when I got them for the husband's BMW, because my carpet mats are definitely going to need a thorough shampoo come spring.
