I'm curious Cuong. What brand of oil are you using? I've considered in the past having my oil tested as well but I find that it's cheaper just to replace it. I guess testing could provide early warning signs though.

broken neck · June 21st, 2012, 04:36 AM

I've put and OEM tank pad...

I'm still shaking from this upgrade... No more hockey tape on the belt buckle and on the jeans rivets...

Woot woot woot...

I have been using Rotella T-6 since after break-in. I'm at ~14.6k

Oh cool. My oil changes are pretty much the same but I'm at ~16k. I'd be interested to read your report.

prettypistol · June 21st, 2012, 10:52 AM

Cleaned the chain

Redgeneral · June 21st, 2012, 11:05 AM

Ordered Bohemian Racing rearsets in gold.

Trying to wait patiently while they ship.

Stingray1000 · June 21st, 2012, 11:22 AM

Left her at home, She heated up pretty bad yesterday so jsut wanted to give her a day to rest and then check her coolant and oil levels when I get a chance before I ride her again

broken neck · June 21st, 2012, 02:29 PM

... and removed those stickers that look like someone splatters some black or white paint on the body...

To my tastes, looks better this way...

00NissanNinja · June 21st, 2012, 07:10 PM

Just finished an awesome track day. Got a bunch of pics and a couple vids. My friend is gonna touch them all up first. Can't wait to see. Now to clean all my gear and the bike, was a dirty, sweaty, hot day.

xSean13 · June 21st, 2012, 07:12 PM

Replaced front sprocket with a 15t...the DIY on here is vague at best. Good luck if you change your sprocket.

CalvinAmI · June 21st, 2012, 07:19 PM

Just finished wiring up my LED's.

front tri's = $9.99
rear stalks = $12.50
diode from ModMy250.com = $15.00
Electronic flasher relay = $15.00
TOTAL COST = $52.49

Value = infinite

What size nut holds down the front sprocket and how hard is it to get the bent washer off?

xSean13 · June 21st, 2012, 08:25 PM

27mm front, and straightening the washer is easy...just used a flat-head.

Loosening and tightening the nut is the hard part. It's on freaking tight, and with 1 person it's extremely difficult. I had a 2x4 through the axle like the diy said and still couldn't get it, so I got on top of the bike, stood on the rear brake and torqued as hard as I could, veins popping out of my arms and all. Finally got it though.

In addition, putting the front sprocket on just by pushing the rear wheel as far as it will go is just about impossible...I had to take the axle out and drop the wheel and still had trouble getting it pushed in all the way onto the grooves. Then putting the brake pads back on the caliper properly was not working at all so I lined everything up and put the axle in from the right side instead.

I'm at about 18k miles with the stock front sprocket and I shrugged it off when I replaced my rear sprocket and chain about 2k miles ago, I thought I would have to have an impact wrench for the nut and a mallet or something heavy duty for the washer.

Time to place an order for a front sprocket and give it a go. I have to take the wheels off anyway to mount new tires.

xSean13 · June 21st, 2012, 08:37 PM

That washer is super malleable, but the bigger front sprocket makes it ride very nice!

Good to know, I'm going to stick with the 14T this time around since I like the stock gearing but I'll consider the 15T with my next sprocket change.

LoD575 · June 24th, 2012, 02:49 PM

Stripped off all fairings to wash and wax each piece. While she was naked I decided to remove the carbs for a rejet. After dealing with the damn airbox during carb removal I pulled it out.

Since I was not planning on removing the airbox I now need to order a pod setup, breather element, and dig through the jetting database again for a rough starting point.

Mocha Man · June 25th, 2012, 07:44 AM

Yesterday I rode her to church, then to a terrible Mexican food restaurant where their enchilada sauce tasted more like barbecue sauce to me. Maybe I was just too white to eat there though... :shrug: I watched a bunch of kids look at my bike as I tried my best not to regurgitate my meal then rode it to get a hair cut. After my strange hair cut, which included vibrating chairs, head massages, hot women

and warm towels, I headed over to my friends house. Then I rode back home and had all the neighbor kids compliment my bike when I pulled into the driveway

I could only find T-6 in 5-30 out here, so I got Rotella T 15-40 for now. What weight do you run?

Oh and today I changed the oil and filter, she's ready to ride now.

Numbersix · June 25th, 2012, 07:43 PM

Overcame concern over knocking bike over without stands and adjusted rear shock preload to '2'. (point of reference, I'm 175#, 6'0"). I didn't need to worry; all this talk on the tech forum about how the wrench might slip, it's tough to turn the first notch, etc. didn't seem to apply to my bike, or I got lucky.

I was tempted to jump straight to '3' but I have learned from years of simulation racing *never* to adjust things more than a little bit at a time. I'll give this at least a week of daily riding before even thinking about '3'. Stiffening the rear always reduces understeer and can provoke power-on oversteer in cars; I'm assuming the same is true here so I want to give it some seat time to see how it reacts.

robski11500 · June 26th, 2012, 01:22 AM

Went on a ride to Big Bear via Oak Glen road and Highway 38

Amazingly clear skies, and found out my ninja does just fine riding on packed dirt (complete road replacement on part of Oak Glen road) and it's more fun to turn around and cut your ride short when you've got THREE school buses in front of you

Anyways, it's always a blast to go on a ride, especially with the roads we have here in socal

NinjaBoyEddy · June 26th, 2012, 01:43 AM

I had dirty sex on top of ninjalina with my girlfriend

it was her idea, my girl is kinda jealous of ninjalina. We spend a lot of time together and ive transformed her. Ive have given her a new life Shes not plain stock no more. This happened a week ago and it was magical.
My first 3sum :]

Anyone else have sex one there bike???

I also replaced the stock oil cap with an aluminum billet one...just for kicks

Your seat cowl is sunbeam red? Would this red be the same red the 2010 special edition black/red is? I want to put a seat cowl but want to be unique not black and go with a matching red"" I noticed my red is darker so called "passion red"..

yeah, the '08 red was passion red while the '09s were sunbeam red...no idea about your SE though, but I'm sure it'll look uniquely awesome! If the red is indeed passion r., you can get the '08 red. Much luck

Is your seat cowl OEM or that eBay one?

It's OEM...I would be cautious about the going the ebay route for these, I've heard fitment and color mismatch issues occurring with those.
p.s. I should have mentioned that my cowl is a sunbeam red (bike is a '09).

road_rascal · June 26th, 2012, 12:06 PM

Cleaned the bugs off my '04. Went on a 300+ mile ride yesterday in southwestern WI hitting up the twisty alphabet roads (county roads) with a few other guys. Still managed to eek out 65.7mpg with all the thrashing I put the 'lil Ninja through.

That's interesting. The T-6 stuff here is 5w40.

Redgeneral · June 27th, 2012, 01:36 PM

Installed my Bohemian Racing Rearsets. Pics right after install.

The only issue I had with the install was the shift rod was too long. I had to use a dremmel with a cutting wheel to shorten the bolt at one end.

Yeah I think I meant 5w40, do they only make T-6 in the viscosity? I didn't buy it because I wanted 10w for the bikes. Maybe next time around.

I've been debating if I should go all out and get rearsets or stick with adjusters.

Yeah, T-6 only comes in 5W40 unless they have a secret 10W40 stuff unavailable to the public. I'm still waiting for my lab analysis report to come back from my oil sample I sent off last week.

They're pretty nice. I have long legs (6' tall) so I've found it moves my foot position far enough back that I can grip the tank much better with my legs.

Next up will be a set of Driven clip-ons.

Rode her to work! Gonna change the oil and ail filter on the 13th. Was a beautiful morning for a ride, and luckily as soon as I got to work the day heated up and I was in cool air conditioning sitting at my desk! I leave at 9 and should hopefully be cooler for a great ride home! Lovin' ma Ninjette!
