What Did You Do to Your Ninjette Today ??

KURT · September 19th, 2010, 02:43 PM

I started this thread, on another Ninja forum, and it's been pretty popular.

Killed a dove with it! Er... actually killed it with the padded shoulder of my jacket. The wife and I rode up to Wickenburg for breakfast. I had just cranked the throttle, coming out of a turn, when the flying rat nailed me. He did not survive.

She has put about 200 miles, on her new BT-003's, and loves them. ( Smoother ride, less stress.)

00NissanNinja · September 19th, 2010, 03:30 PM

Rode about 35 miles to school then adjusted my shifter and did a lab. Then went back home. Might clean it today too (I hope so since there is a lot of salt deposits on it from when I rode in the rain)

dubojr1 · September 19th, 2010, 04:13 PM

Lubricated clutch cable and mounted new air horn! Can't ride right now cause I'm in the process of converting a 650R wheel to fit the rear. Larger tire to follow.

JeffM · September 19th, 2010, 04:25 PM

Felt so bad after demo riding a Triumph Street Triple R I bought her a new set of grips. I hope she'll forgive me.

Rosie · September 19th, 2010, 05:33 PM

Changed the cracked windshield from previous owner

mikesova · September 19th, 2010, 05:55 PM

I worked on my top box project:

spooph · September 19th, 2010, 06:14 PM

Went for 2 quick impromptu rides. Might need to tighten the chain. Oh, and Kurt, I think this thread is gonna blow up here... :P

Hey, another ADV'r! I don't post much, cause I don't much play in the dirt, and the Rockies Region is pretty much... dirt... :P

wellcraft · September 19th, 2010, 06:23 PM

Nothing

I don't play in the dirt with my Ninja, unless you count Dirt roads.

I use a different tool for the dirt.

jmgrande · September 19th, 2010, 06:29 PM

Rode it to work for the first time.

Raybot · September 19th, 2010, 06:30 PM

rode about 150 miles. Went to Deals Gap and back.

Indy250r · September 19th, 2010, 06:31 PM

I rode it like it belonged to the neighbors red-headed step child.

That is awesome!

I wish I could ride mine to work everyday, but I take my daughter to school most mornings.

I didn't do *@#&*(@# to my Ninjette today. Whole family is sick and whining about it, including myself.

Did watch a fun set of races today though, from 125's all the way to MotoGP...

Raybot · September 20th, 2010, 11:34 AM

rode to and from school.

Sk8dude · September 20th, 2010, 12:04 PM

Finally got my replacement parts on the bike after my fall a month ago. New rearset bracket + rear break lever and new right turn signal. My Brother-In-Law was kind enough to lend a hand and help get the parts on. My bike should be ridable again, just waiting on the weather to clear to get out and on a ride.

HorizonXP · September 20th, 2010, 05:46 PM

I changed the oil and filter, put in the new element fence and washer that I was missing.

Put in a new air filter element to replace the old one. It's OEM.

Synced the carbs.

Changed the spark plugs, and found out the previous owner used the wrong ones.

Rosie · September 20th, 2010, 07:36 PM

Took her for a 20-some mile ride around the city

highpsiguy · September 20th, 2010, 07:57 PM

Went into town about 25 miles to do an estimate for some work. Got back on to crank....nada...nothing. No lights, no horn... checked fuses- all good. Tried to roll start down big hill....nothing. My mechanic come out, luckily he was nearby in town picking up parts from motorcycle store.

He said battery was dead. It had not given me trouble all day- no dragging- it was perfect. I DID run my gps all day and did not unplug during stops.

He went to store and bought some jumper cables. Jumped my bike off with his right away. My bike refused to run without it being jumped over to his running bike. No way I say- I got a new battery. We let it run for over 10 minutes, even took out headlight fuse. Still would not run without his bikes 12v assistance.

He ended up going to 3 stores looking for a battery. Finally got one and put back in. VROOOOM. What a guy! What a great mechanic! I was stuck over 4 hours. It was truly a sucky day!

Sounds like you spent at least part of the day on a motorcycle. The day couldn't have been a total loss.

CZroe · September 20th, 2010, 11:42 PM

Rode to Autozone hauling my sister's heavy-as-heck car battery. I had to chill an hour only to be told that it needed to be replaced. I returned $100 poorer but with a new battery and a stomach full of chicken wings. Unfortunately, the battery wasn't the cause of the issue we were having with the car.

almost40 · September 21st, 2010, 07:33 AM

I walked past it in my garage.

Yeah me too, still in pieces. Rode the 1000RR today. Just not the same. Tons of power yes but boring in the city.

Snake · September 21st, 2010, 01:58 PM

I checked the tire pressure, checked the lights, checked all the fluids and lubed the chain in preparation for my trip back to work for my 7 days on.

Apex · September 21st, 2010, 03:41 PM

I walked right by it in the garage. It was raining this morning and I don't own a pair of water-proof boots for riding. So instead of getting my shoes and socks soaked, I took the cage. The weather is supposed to be a bit nicer tomorrow, so I'll head out for a little bit then.

AdreeN · September 21st, 2010, 07:39 PM

bought HIDs so people can see me!

Same here... all ready to go.... helmet polished as well.... mirrored visor cleaned. My 7 commences Thurs... yay! (not)

This morning lifted her Nelson Riggs cover to see if my "missing" wallet had fallen out from the night before......

wasn't there either.

galianos · September 21st, 2010, 08:24 PM

Sadly he's still chillin' in the back of the truck from our track trip yesterday...he gave me the sad puppy eyes when I got home from work today...oh the guilt.

rwurm · September 21st, 2010, 08:36 PM

I bought one! Then brought it home and yanked the fairings off in order to really degrease the engine as its a wee bit oily. Tomorrow before work I want to have the engine completely degreased and maybe swap out the spark plugs if I can get at them without removing the tank.

eddiekay · September 21st, 2010, 08:37 PM

Said
Hello mami
and she whistled back

GeneJunkie · September 22nd, 2010, 12:09 PM

I picked my bike up from AreaP!! Put her in the garage and she kept whining at me, guess my lil 250 was homesick.

Yes they were using my bike to r&d a race system. I don't know if I can share any of the information on the new system because it is being patented. Guess you will have to let Kerry post about it.

They did install a standard 12" cf system with a flat end cap, plugged Kleen air system and put on a breather, air box removed and replaced with K&N pod filter, jet kit and dyno tuned it. They were doing testing on the airbox for the race system and asked if i wanted the k&n when they were done with it, lol I could not turn that down. I have the jetting and dyno chart at home.

00NissanNinja · September 22nd, 2010, 06:02 PM

I looked at it for 5min and said "Man that bike is cool looking" shame I can't commute on it for awhile. But I guess while it sits I can stick some HID in it.

Sailariel · September 22nd, 2010, 06:30 PM

Took a nice long liesurely ride taking in some of the fall foliage. Nothing earth shattering--did some good twisties for grins and giggles--but it was nice getting out and just relaxing with a bike that does it all so well. Life is good.

razorback · September 22nd, 2010, 06:54 PM

I put new tires on...Bridgestone Battleax 023....my buddy at the dealer gave me a pretty good price on them. Not much riding on them so far...just the ride home which was just a couple of miles, but I plan on riding about 200 miles this weekend...can't wait to "scuff them in".

Cab305 · September 22nd, 2010, 07:40 PM

I went medieval on my gear shifter. Had to un-pretsel it from my uhm... little incident.

Straightened it by prying it with metal pipes, then pulled out the torch, got it red hot and beat it on an anvil till it was flat. Then I plunged it into water and made grunting man noises.

Works like a charm...

Note, there is a plastic spacer inside gear shift that doesn't like red hot heat, had to temp replace it with electrical tape.

Rosie · September 22nd, 2010, 08:01 PM

Couldn't take her to work today due to the fact I had a customer meeting and had to drive myself and my manager to the customer site, but I walked past her and petted her

Requte · September 22nd, 2010, 10:13 PM

Gave her a much needed bath. Rather dusty out here
