WOOOOHOOOO (and some questions)

[rabidnz]

spend youre money on safety gear, for you will not be riding the ninga anywhere near its limits before you are ready to ride something with a bit more junk in the trunk, and if you buy good gear it will last you many bikes to come

[bsasuper]

Keep it stock standard, you WILL get more for it once you are done with it, no one wants to buy a beginner 250 that has been "fiddled" with.Learn to ride it with skill, thats worth more than any jet kit, exhaust etc etc.

Purchased my brand new kawasaki ninja 250r , Having heaps of fun!
5 days of riding has netted me 1000km on it

Was wondering if anyone knew where I can buy a rear fender eliminator and a rear seat cowl in NZ?

And also any mods that would net me decent value performance gains.

Cheers

There are a few places you can get these if you want. Google ERMX- ERMAX, they are a french brand, also PowerBronze which are manufactured in UK. There are same ones available on Ebay.com as well. If you google you will find other suppliers as well. You can simply modify the stock ones and add a bracket manufactured at any sheetmetal shop.
I have done such many times, for those in Aucks, I Used a guy at Warkworth Sheet Metals named Rob. He is awesome bike customizer. He does pipes, brackets and any stuff you think of cheap as chips. He modified my stock cans as well for several bikes which saved me heaps.

Congrats! I love's me little Ninja too

[sponge]

Wow this bike has absolutely horrid stock tyres.

Have nearly killed myself numerous times, Especially coming out of a wet wellington at night, the bike becomes a pair of ice skates...

Which tyres are you guys running?
I've heard the speed demons are good stuff, I've also been told dunlop have some nice ones that go on the ninja but aren't available in New Zealand...

Opinions?

[Number One]

I'm interested to know what the stock tyres are....hopefully not shinkos

[Slyer]

I've used the dunlops on my 250, good tyres. I prefer the sport demons I current have on though.

[Ferkletastic]

+! for Pirelli sport demons, I put a pair on my old 250 bandit, they're great.

[sil3nt]

Sport demons or BT45's.

Don't spend your money on an obnoxious pipe like the twit I see riding around Vitoria/Ghuznee street on the red one every morning.

There's something particularly gay about having a bike that sounds like you're doing 280kph while snails are actually overtaking ya........

Goodness all this sage advice and it is all nonsense. The one single thing that will make your bike faster is you. Spend all your cash on training, every one you can do inc track TRAINING days (as opposed to track days). A damn good rider on a piddler will outclass an old fart with bad habits and little skill on a 1000 any day

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm BT45's...ooo I think I just peed a little....YUMMY STICKABILITY!

+1000 - I know two guys who have made good riders on big bikes look silly on the Takas on their RG150. SKILLS SKILLS SKILLS!

Yeah I saw that bike on Monday goin down Victoria. Why would you race your bike in the inner city from light to light?

He's got a two brothers exhaust with no sound suppresor.. that is fucken loud! I know because I tried it for a day but couldn't handle the sound coming up the hill on the motorway.

As for tires, it looks like I'll go for Sport demons in a few weeks. I've started to notice every 250R in town sporting them
