today when I had gone to the svc saw two ninja 650. looks awsome.

WARNING: the following post might be offtopic but it is of vital importance to everyone here.

I rarely post in here since the bike doesn't reach my country until at least mid 2013 but in this case I consider it necessary to post and in it is to correct you on the AFR explanation from your picture.

First I want to say is that I know I'm a newish member here and going by what I have read (the entire thread) some people in here tend to disagree or have no trust whatsoever on informational posts from newbies if you want to call us that, it is understandable though so now to the matter at hand to prevent people from messing up their AFR:

Unless the P200NS is employing an outdated carb (which I doubt) then what you have shown in the picture, i.e. clockwise for a richer AFR and counterclockwise for a leaner AFR is completely and totally WRONG, now comes the disagreement and distrust with the newbie but hold your horses fellow riders, here comes the explanation:

In older carbs the AFR screw used to be located nearer to the rear of the carb, hence towards the air filter, controlling the air intake to the venturi of the carb. For those cases what you say is TRUE since turning it clockwise will allow less air thus making the mixture richer and leaner if you turn it counterclockwise.

However in newer carbs like the mikuni UCAL in the P220 the AFR screw is located towards the front of the carb, therefore closer to the cylinder admission and hence controlling the amount of fuel in the mixture, so in these cases if you turn it clockwise you are decreasing the amount of fuel and therefore making the mixture lean, by contrary if you turn it counterclockwise you are allowing more fuel into the mixture therefore making it richer.

If your bike is cold (has been off for 6+ hours) and you turn it clockwise till it closes completely you'll notice that when you start the bike it will stall inmediately if you don't rev it, the reason being that the mixture has been made as lean as possible.

Now that being said I hope that people will not mess up their AFR by doing the wrong procedure and as a bonus I also have info about the shock preload/seat height controversy that will leave it as clear as possible for everyone but I won't post that to avoid backlash for contradicting a respected member on two topics of the same post so only if you want me to post it then I will.

Cheers, ride safe and enjoy your machines.

Chirag answer to your query(damaged front part due to a fall) :-

Probable damage Remedy
1. Visor Change
2. Clamp Change
3. Fork. Straightening by lathe machine
4. Handle. Change

All the above four parts can be brought individually and only effected part should be changed.

After all the hue and cry, due to the long and saturated period of remaining bikeless, FINALLYYYYYY I got my NS yesterday evening.

Beware guys, coz a verrryyyyy long Ownership experience will be up by evening. Till then enjoy another teaser



BTW, Biswajit is the name of the dealer....


Short update No doubt on the long list of positive features of the bike, but I'm having some trouble adjusting my riding style with the bike.. however was too exited last night to make some sensible adjustments. Will try it today, and then will add it to the report. Also since I did'nt opted for teflon coating/ other polishing, so a nice bathing and polishing session is due toady..

Have lots to share and ask.... But my mind is constantly dancing on Salman's DINKACHIKA track

Yo! enjoy your bike man... Feeling jealous...i would have got mine on 1st september but this stupid bengali calender...spoiled a whole month of my life... Give it a good graceful bath and polish it gently... Get 3m wax polish or waxpol.. If possble try to find the liquid oil based waxpol...not the cream type one... and pics pilij..

thanx for confirming rohan... And yeah i almost forgot bout my cycle too.... It also has an adjustable monoshocker at the rear and stiffening the suspension raises the height... Good point you noticed... now the doubt is cleared i guess...

i came across many posts here regarding gear shifting ..
guys , you are not supposed to leave and engage the clutch multiple times while downshifting from 6th to 1st .. you should be able to continuously downshift from 6th to 1st gear with clutch engaged only once .. this is when bike is moving ..

you will have to engage and leave the clutch multiple times to downshift from 6th to 1st only when the bike is not in motion..

Twice or thrice in the last 20 days of ownership, I've faced this problem. That my 'balls' (yes, I meant what I said) pain when I get off from the bike after harsh riding sessions. Did anyone face the same situation?
