Ninja 650R - Ownership Thread

Re: Ninja 650R - Ownership Thread

I want to make changes in the exhaust , this bike rides like a car I mean there is really no sound when u are riding it upto 4000rpm. Beyond 4000rpm it does sound good but the wind noise is already so much that u donot really enjoy the engine sound. I am still quite used to the thump of the classic crome 500 not that I wish to compare them in any way.
I believe there should be a muffler or some stuff in the ninja 650 exhaust which can be removed to increase the engine sound a little. I will check with the ninja service team of Bajaj during first service.

Re: Ninja 650R - Ownership Thread

Hi

I am in noida (east delhi), yes i am waiting for the grab rail, checked it out at bagga link karol bagh they donot keep ninja spare parts. I have been informed there is a bajaj service centre in sector 2 noida "suman bajaj" will buy the grab rail when i take it for the first service. I have completed 500kms so the first service will be due this month. I have crossed the 4k rpm mark after completing 150kms and for the first time touched 8k rpm after 500kms. Very hard to resist and there is really no need to follow the break in limitations, just avoid running it for extremely long durations and remember to switch off on red lights or when not in motion. A new engine gets heated up a little more since rings and pistons are still finding space to settle down, therefore it is good to avoid overheating.

Pls let me know if there is a ninja 650 spare parts shop in and around delhi.

Re: Ninja 650R - Ownership Thread

To all Brothers who are taming the beast (break in period) how are u managing urself from crossing 4k rpm??
For me the bike keeps on tempting me to go beyond..when I am at 4k in sixth gear at time I feels it wishper to me "go ahead this is nothing for me"

Also do let me know if there is any 650 Bangalore group...

Cheers

Same here bro its really very hard, to tell you the truth sometimes I may have crossed 4k mark as well but not by a huge margin(4-5 K). Another thing is, it is really annoying and irritating to keep and eye on the road as well as on the tachometer. Time to get some breaked-in engines

Re: Ninja 650R - Ownership Thread

Hi

I picked up a ninja 650r last month fm KTM CP delhi, the wating period was less then 20 days, amazing bike extremely comfortable in the city as well as the expressway. The power and speed is too much to test on the indian roads, i would sincerely advice safe riding. The only problem is too many questions asked by other people on the road. It has never happened once till date that i have completed a ride without answering questions on the bike, kitney ki hai, average kya hai. The questions come fm bystanders on signal lights, autowallas as well as carowners.A little too much attention i would say. Go ahead and buy it.

Congrats Buddy...! Where in Delhi are you from ?

You also waiting to get hold of the left hand grab rail, same as me

This attention is sometimes a pain as-well, today only I was riding at roughly 70 kmph and a car came from the back, driver rolled the window down and signed for usual question "Kitne ki hai". I thought it was dangerous for both of us and was left with no other option but to twist the throttle.

Re: Ninja 650 - The green mean machine

Ahh! I got it. Actually I was at KTM CP on 25th September(Evening) and this bike(yours) was there. I asked the showroom guy, "How long is the waiting period for Ninja 650 if I'm not going to finance the bike?". And his reply was, "We've just received a 650 after months, you can have it right away. No waiting period". Just wondering if I had permissions from parents to buy this beauty on that day they would have stalled your delivery. *feels jealous*
Anyways, Congrats again Ride safe.

I would have killed them for that .
Actually my booking was No. 2 in Delhi and while doing the booking I was told by the Bagga Link KarolBagh manager that they will be ordering 5 bike in a lot (they have I think 4 showrooms in NCR) so I can expect my bike soon.
Just to let you know the bike which KTM guy might be referring to you is still standing at the display of KarolBagh showroom, if your parents are convinced you can go and get one for yourself today itself.

Thanks Bro. Excuses are highly customized and are not guaranteed to work with everyone

I am 5' 11" and really don't have any problem with the height of the bike, in that particular photo I was manoeuvring the bike out of the cramped CP passage way. And also the bike is heavy to move when in neutral, and harder when you are on it.

Re: Ninja 650 - The green mean machine

Congrats bro.I'm also having hard times to convince parents for getting a 650cc monster rather than getting an average hatchback. Mind sharing some of the excuses you used? jk Is the seat height too much to have flat-foot as I can see in the last picture?
