She will always be my Candy though

and she will look good

Well flat black now looks good but I tried a clear on a piece and it messed it up so no clear now till I find something that will work right Ill keep yall posted

mgentz · April 13th, 2013, 06:07 PM

Still working on it. Should be complete soon.

Singh2jz · April 13th, 2013, 06:31 PM

cleaned/lubed the chain, changed the oil to rotella, changed the filter, and checked the oil screen. Finally gonna go out for a ride tomorrow after 7 weeks!! woooooooohooooo!

iplante · April 13th, 2013, 06:45 PM

Bought some parts to do my fender elimination when my fairings come back from the shop

At a local store bought a universal license plate and turn signals bracket, and small turn signals.

On eBay I bought a Sailor Specialties fender eliminator used for cheap!

dahero · April 13th, 2013, 07:17 PM

Put on a tank pad.

Byakkotai · April 13th, 2013, 07:55 PM

Rode it to the dealer - talked with some of the guys there n spotted a CBR500R ABS in Honda Red...then finally bought a torque wrench.

The-Puma · April 14th, 2013, 03:18 PM

Put on shorty levers, but in the process bent the plunger on the clutch safety switch, so I took it off, and took it apart to straighten it. All good, then attempt number 2 I did the same exact thing. After about an hour, I finally get the clutch side done, brake side took me 2 minutes.... Oh well.

Dragonracer76 · April 14th, 2013, 06:49 PM

Installed my new DID gold and black x-ring chain and 15T front sprocket... zero regrets. They should have come with 15T to begin with... much more utility in long curvy state highways and great cruising RPMs at highway speeds (65-75mph) best part is that I'm not always trying to shift into 7th anymore.

Original sprocket 09 ninja 250 16000miles apr 13.jpg
It was definitely time to change them. They seem to be the originals and my bike has 16,000 miles.

next step will be replacing the back sprocket next month.

lol yeah it works great! Feels a lot better after the oil change

Still have the fuel decel weird rev at idle sometimes, but it's nothing that affects my riding, so I'm ok with it. Been putting a lot more mileage on it with my 90 mi commute. That Corbin is really paying off.

Installed my alarm too

josefmd · April 14th, 2013, 07:55 PM

Did the fender chop yesterday evening and tonight did a second oil change at 1500 miles switching to Rotella T6

milhouse · April 15th, 2013, 09:06 AM

Did my first valve adjustment over the weekend. I forgot tighten one of the exhaust adjustment nuts and when I took it for a ride the engine was clicking badly. Opened her up again and the nut had come off completely!

Got the nut back on and things seems good now. Also put in new plugs while I was in there. I gotta say, having a magnetic pickup tool is a godsend, I don't know how I ever survived before without one.

Cleaned and lubed chain.

Got the hard part of the 500 service done!

Syncing carbs tonight. Oil change, coolant flush, and air filter next weekend. Gonna have to save a bit longer for new brake lines and tires though...

psych0hans · April 15th, 2013, 10:03 AM

Put in my exhaust baffle and crank case breather element. It's quiet filthy down there. Tomorrow I'll be changing my throttle cables and taking her out for a well deserved spin. I'll also install my Airtech Streamlining tail tomorrow.

DaBlue1 · April 15th, 2013, 12:42 PM

Nothing too drastic.
-Repainted the exhaust cap.
-Replaced the side panel phillips head screws with allen socket bolts
-Replaced the clutch perch and front master cylinder bolts with allen socket bolts
-Added about 5 HP with a cool new sticker

csmith12 · April 15th, 2013, 01:01 PM

List of stuff to do tonight...

Clean/Lube chain
Finish #plate 511
Finish safety wiring
Top off with fresh water wetter
Find my bowl of faring bolts. lol Hoping to have my fairings back from paint by Wed.

Finish taxes.... I gotta pay 7k

lolibater · April 15th, 2013, 01:49 PM

rode to work

menikmati · April 15th, 2013, 02:15 PM

Lane split...in the rain...uphill.

I never lane split, but traffic was at an absolute standstill and I was constantly trying to avoid slick paint. So glad I took the 250R, flicks so easy.

It was an awesome morning ride today

NevadaWolf · April 16th, 2013, 09:00 AM

Rode to work to attend the MSF class today. Class was full (I was on the wait list) so now my girl is tucked behind a big SUV to block the wind. Hopefully I don't go out this evening to find her on her side.

JohnnyBravo · April 16th, 2013, 09:15 AM

Rode around... Stalled at stoplight... Also found that my ninja will change gears with my feet on pegs while riding, kinda freakin scary, but I lived... Wondering wtf on that last one!!!

You may be hitting it inadvertently? Or it's loose? Try adjusting the shifter to your riding style, or tightening it, etc.

Are you sure you aren't mixing poly and latex? That could be it.

Singh2jz · April 16th, 2013, 04:16 PM

Eliminated the fender..check out the pics here. Let me know if I did a good job or not..haha

cuong-nutz · April 16th, 2013, 06:47 PM

It's so much easier to check the valve lash with the engine out of the bike and the chain off the cams

I'd go with a rivet master link. I have gone through at least 3 clip type master links. Either the clip broke or fell off. Even had it safety wired too. Don't know how it happened but it did. I had to rig up a paper clip to prevent the link from falling out.

MagicMike · April 16th, 2013, 09:45 PM

I got licenced to ride it!

moarphine · April 16th, 2013, 09:53 PM

My seat cowl came today, so I installed that (all of 20 seconds worth of install time). I also went for a ride to the beach, and had a frozen coke

no its not polyurathane or defitently not latex. I may not clear coat it That way I can fix scratches easy lol

hexstylee · April 17th, 2013, 11:26 PM

finished some mods today.. finally...
slipped on stupid flip flops hit the bike on the corner where the fairings meet the tank near top bolts...fml. I didn't extend the kick stand for some stupid reason. Could have been alot worse, if that rack wasn't there could have just dropped the bike completely.

iplante · April 18th, 2013, 07:20 AM

I bought her a Kerker full system exhaust for $100 shipped

I'll finally be able to hang my helmet to the lock without fear of melting parts due to the hot exhaust...!

I had been looking for about a year for a cheap Muzzy full system... but jumped on this unobtainium as soon as I saw it. Plus, Kerker is much more fun to say than Muzzy.

ERHMERGERD KERKER

Very nice!!! buy a cheap rear stand as well, since you'll have to ditch the centerstand.

Glad you finally found something.

Thanks! What kind of rear stand would you recommend?

choneofakind · April 18th, 2013, 07:37 AM

I use a cheap one from Harbor freight. It seems to be holding up just fine. $30 for the stand.

I want a set of T-rex stands though. I want a front one that lifts by the lower triple.

iplante · April 18th, 2013, 07:40 AM

Cool, thanks.

I'll have to make a trip to Harbor Freight

There were a few things I wanted to check out anyways there

I keep hearing this but mine had no interference issues with the center stand. In fact, that's all it had when I bought it (no side stand). I removed the center stand anyway because I have spools and swingarm stands (newgen swingarm).

mike12 · April 18th, 2013, 07:50 AM

Installed the P1X Power tip on the 2 bros slip on, changed the oil/filter, lubed the chain, took it to work.

Do you have the Muzzy or Kerker?
