        I doubt anyone has... But I am eyeing the Metzellers of the D390 when I do change my tyres eventually... But damn epensive... I asked at the SVC, they said 11k for the rear and 20k for the set...

                      * must-haves:
                      - frame sliders [protect fairing from scratches in case of a fall]
                      - tank pads / guards [protect tank from scratches due to ur trousers / belts / knee guards / etc]
                      - brake lines [stock lines are too soft / spongy - replacements are confidence inspiring]
                      - brake pads [same as above]
                      - headlamps [better bulbs, in case u plan to do rain / nigh time rides]
                      - fleece lined full bike cover

                      * good-to-haves:
                      - radiator guard [protecting the radiator from flying debris]
                      - cotton rails + fork protectors
                      - gorilla or xena security system [in case u dont have a dedicated + secure parking for the bike]
                      - morimoto projectors / HiD fitment [freaking expensive but does its job all too well]
                      - transparent film paint protection [protects the paint from chaffing / minor scratches / retains the showroom-finish of the paint etc.]
                      - motul products [all stuff viz. chain cleaner, lube, other synth oils, etc.]

                      hope this helps.

                      @Arsenic : i'll be damned... it is beyond my imagination to believe that the brake-pads dunked in under 1.5k run.
                      and u mention that the rear brake assembly is acting up too?
                      clearly something is not right here...
                      unless u were riding the brake-levers more & the bike itself less, throughout those 1.5K, this cannot happen.
                      what surprises me is, the disc brakes, even in case of a slight ill-fit, will immediately make their resistance felt in the overall bike's performance - the fact that u didnt notice anything this far, is truly shocking.
                      i suggest that u please get both - the front + the rear thoroughly checked & get the darned thing a proper fix.
                      Hello friend. I wanted to ask one thing. Is it ok to replace the factory lights completely with angel and demon eyes, hid as soon as I get the bike? Will it put any load on the battery?

                      The tail unit LEDs are similar to those of the Duke but a bit bigger than them and definitely look stunning on the Ninja.
                      Total making cost for the LED tail lamp is Rs. 1800/- and another Rs. 900/- for LED indicators
                      From where did u buy it?

                        i mebbe wrong & i've seen a quiet a few folks who have done this - angel / demon eyes should be ok - no juice hog there...
                        HiD's are... well another story.
                        HiD's are not instant-on types & there is a slight lag between when u turn on the light & by the time the gas-discharge is @ full strength - this time usually deviates between 4~10 seconds & hence fitting HiD's as a 'passing' light is not advisable as that defies the purpose.
                        HiD's by virtue of their technology, generate less heat - so the lamp casing / enclosure will not get fried up however HiD's have been known to drain off battery juice - so be prepared for 'dhakka-starts' of the bike if u've drained the juice completely - not something i wud do to my ride.
                        i try to keep as many things as i can per stock fitments.

                          Thank you mate. So this means I can use angel/demon eyes without draining the battery but not hid. Thanks for the advice. Can anyone tell me from where I can buy both angel and demon eyes from. Plus led tail lamp and indicators aswell

                            Just made the full payment and I'm getting my Ninja this week after such a painful wait. Though the delay was me arranging my finances. Booked mine at KTM Marathahalli.

                                except faulty throttle all problems are also present in my bike.
                                as add on chain is also rusting. and the squeaky sound stays even after lube.
                                another is that my bike idles at 1000 rpm. Whenever I increase in to 1250rpm after some riding it again comes back to 1000rpm!!!
