I finally got a ninja
So I am a new rider and just got my first bike last week. It is a 2010 Ninja 250r. When I say I am a new rider I mean that when I got the bike home that was the first time that I had ridden one. It was a great choice to get this bike.
I found ninjette because of the infamous tank whistling. I quickly found out what was going on and after looking to see what the small squeaking was by the front tire. I decided to become a member to see if I could find some more stuff to help with maintaining my new toy. I have already found a bunch of help and hope that I will be able to get more in the future and give some help too. |

Welcome, Weston! You made the right choice by joining.
 Try to take the MSF course! You won't regret it. |

Welcome! I gotta also recommend taking the MSF course; much better than learning the hard way. Stay safe and enjoy your ninjette.

welcome to the board thewestinn!
I had an 09 fuel tank sitting in my office/study. It would do its moan/whistle thing every night, and the mrs. would freak out every time. I'd tell her not to worry, its just a ghost. I kind of miss it now.
