hello guys...i do own a Ninja 650 and posted on other ninja's thread already. hi Zimbly can u give me the link on FB page so that i can send the paymnt slip copy ..would be glad to be part of the group ..
thanks

It was good to catch up with all N650 & N250R owners in one place. Loads of fun and had a good time.

Yesterday, after meeting you all I continued on my run in ride.. Covered 470 kms yesterday at 4k rpm. In one full tank I covered 350 kms when the final bar came in. 12 liters of petrol went in so around 29kmpl delivered during run in. This will of course change once I ride little more faster after service

My final leg of run in will be tomorrow. I'll ride till Charoti Naka and return home.

Perhaps this link will help
The Mumbai guys rode to Igatpuri this Sunday. About 20 bikes, 250/650, intruder and a harley. Plus there were atleast 30 other bikes, busa's gixxers and other assorted bikes. Good fun.

Hey ashu, Congrats on the bike. get the e-mail of the mods fm the FB page and send a request to be added.along with a scanned copy of your booking receipt or incase already delivered, then the copy of the payment slip.
see u on the FB page, soon.

just bought my ninja few weeks ago how can i jump on the fb group?

Yes you heard it right !

Sailing?? One more shippie with the N650. Cool!!

Hi Flyboy1,

Well first of all thanks .. As far as I can remember I booked my bike in the first week of its launch itself in early/mid August.. And the bike arrived at the showroom within a month itself.. Its due to my job profile I have been out sailing all this while, so now finally I will get the chance to take the delivery once i am back home.

Till then.. I am counting every passing 'tick' by the clock

@varun.lamba , thanks, and congrats on ur soon to be true aquisition of The Green Lantern. When did you book, how much u had to wait? The showroom prople committed to me 60 days, and verbally 1 month wait.

Hey Varun,
you are welcome, 20th Nov - thats around the corner. As for the upgrade feel, its one hell of a feel, satisfaction guaranteed!!!. few more days dude.... control, control!!!
keep us posted on delivery and experiences.
all the best n ride safe!!

You can also opt for Lamination pouches/films which seem to be pretty easy to cut to the shape you like and stick it on. I do not know if they are available in india, but I already bought it with the consignment I ordered from Germany. So if you order any riding gear/accessories from an international store, then you can consider to add a couple of these films to your shipment.

Hi Zimbly..

Well I logged in today to ask for some inputs regarding pdi etc as my delivery date is approaching soon.. Pleased to see the replies already serving my purpose My long wait is approaching its end and 20th Nov I shall land in my city and the delivery is expected the same day. Looking forward to feel the difference from my upgrade from cbr250.. I think i will have a tough time controlling my excitement though .. haha..

@flyboy1 : Wish you the best ahead and do keep us updated here..

Thanks for your inputs zimbly, will re enquire and search in detail once the Bike is delivered. Noted about the left grab rail during delivery.
I have been committed a months wait from now. The Manager also said that the bookings may now close any day.

You're welcome,
Amongst all what you have listed above, #1 is the most important, i am sure u already have helmet, if not, then i suggest before delivery, get a helmet, The rest of the riding gear is a must for safe riding.
As for #2 yes its important to have a radiator guard. there are few available on international websites. I am not in a hurry to procure the same, Max stuff gets thrown onto the radiator during the monsoon. Thats about 7 months away.
As for #3, yes the headlights need an upgrade. I mean if it were a 150cc bike it would have been just right. the intensity and throw would have been okay, but on a bike on which you can achieve the top speed of a 150cc in second gear alone, i would recommend an upgrade. Once you get on to the FB owners group, there are a few discussions there about the same. I am no expert in the light front, so am reserving my comments.
Look at a couple more things to add to that list. Frame sliders(available at PRS - make R&G). either get side inserts for the tank as well as a tank pad. It tends to get scratched when riding. ALternately once you get the bike, you can get a 3M wrap on the tank which will cater for all potential scratch sources. Currently dont have the details on the latter mentioned option, though i am sure that if you look it up online, you would get the info.
So when is the D day for the delivery

Thnks zimbly,

Have gone through this thread and read about the the add ons and mods. Have decided to go for following right away, Just need suggestions regarding where and how buy :-
1. Riding Gear ( Jacket, boots , Knee guards, Helmet)
2. Radiator Guard
3. Headlights, since that seems to be a problem for most members here, Read members here going for the Philips HID and Xtravision(High Beam), Is that a direct fit without any mods(as the philips automotive lighting website says)? what size? read in Kawi forums,of H7 followed by some number(did not understand).

Thanks
