            • It has a 7step adjustable one killer! I hope you tried hardening it!

              PS: Not that it makes a huge world of difference though, I have set it from sofa, to cushion mode for now :P

              • Nice cornering!

                Wow Killer, awesome cornering on the 650R! I'd never have the b@ll$ to even think about it, let alone try it. But seeing this does inspire some confidence in the bike's abilities.

                • Availability of Ninja 650R accessories in Chennai

                  Hi,

                  I have been owning a Ninja 650R since last October. The bike's absolutely great for city riding and the occasional weekend trips. Use it for my everyday commute to office. Have clocked about 1200kms so far and completed first service.

                  Would like to get a tank pad, swing arm spools and a paddock stand. Anyone knows where to get it in Chennai

                  Regards,

                  Saravanan

                    If you are on facebook, add me. or better find the India Kawasaki Ninja 650R group using the search option. There are a few members in Chennai who even buy in bulk. Its a great place to be as a 650 owner as you have some representation from Bajaj as well as lot to learn by fellow active members.

                        • Had an opportunity to ride a 650R ( Aditya's ) fitted with Galfer lines and EBC-PRO pads up front. GS has also done the same mod.

                          GAWD! What a difference!

                          The brakes suddenly came to life and gave me the confidence to really give the bike some stick! I'm convinced and am upgrading my stock to these ASAP!

                          Any one else from Chennai not already on the FB owners page ping me if you want to upgrade as we're doing a group buy. may save a bit on customs and shipping.

                              Why order international? These are available at PRS right? Customs, shipping and taxes might come up to the same amount which PRS is quoting. Please correct me if I am wrong.
