Unbelievable and tempting but not willing to risk it.

A query to the ninja owners who have the frame sliders installed... Which one should i buy? I saw the Shogun Crash Kit on fatbikez website. Although it says no cut, the installation guide says that the crank case cover needs to be cut. Which frame slider can i buy which does not involve any cutting or sorts to the bike?

Replies will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

shogun is the best dude..not cause i have it...cutting crank case is nothing.......btw which other sliders do you have in mind??

actually i've done 160 kmph odd with 82kgs ...i guess more than 30-40 odd times, 165 when i've had the road...180 like u've said says ur bike is extra special ..i guess show me 175kmph!! lol.. i would really want to bow my head to your nick name !!

How much does the stock gearing allow the Ninja to go?

Has anyone dyno'ed the Ninja here? The top speed capable from the engine can be checked under 'No Load' conditions in a Dyno.

So if it can hit a 180 or so on the Dyno, then even in the real world it might be possible given certain favorable conditions working for it....

the ninja has been clocked between 165-172 kmph speeds.

**Rockkyyy** · 03-23-2010, 10:22 AM

There was one incident where I ran out of road while testing top speed since I couldn't control it on high speed of my new bike. To my luck, I didn't crash or didn't get hurt, but it was very scary and a narrow escape.

All I am saying is, if you are NEW TO BIKE - please get used to these faster bikes before you test bikes limit, give some time for you and your bike.
Most of you may not like advice like these, but I would be happy if at least one gets what I meant !

@Deadly Biker-- in your profile pic, the helmet looks really cool and you are using a Steel Bird in your 250R?

I believe the helmet that he is wearing in his profile pic would act as a wind sail if he were to ride at the speeds he's quoting... Besides that steelbird helmet looks deceptively similar to the GP One models that steelbird used to sell a few years ago (under licence). They were supposed to be amongst the better helmets in the market. Although the GP One that I have seems to have a serious wind noise issue.

@Rockyyyy certainly appreciate the perspective on safety. We all have families who look up to us... so obviously responsibility comes before thrill. I am sure (at least hope) that no one would risk a limb or worse trying to hit a mark on the speedometer. Responsible riding makes a LOT more sense than false bravado, and I trust everyone would keep that in mind when reaching these speeds.

Apologies for the error. It's not the crank case cover but counter shaft cover which needs cutting.

dunno bro. have heard about shogun being one of the best and want to pick 'em up. only the cutting of the counter shaft cover is putting me off.

Also where can I get this fitted in bangalore? Bajaj service guys will not do this job.

@n_aditya: Dude when you order the shogun crash kit from fatbikez speak with doug...i will send you his email id...he will send you the complete instructions to fit the frame sliders step by step with photos. Fitting bar end sliders & swing arm sliders is a piece of cake. Dont bother ...every one around the world is fitting the shougun frame sliders which needs cutting a bit of the counter shaft cover. As i stay in Mumbai, i dont know who can help you with fitting ...but i guess there must be a couple of mechanics helping the guys with sports bikes in bangalore. Why dont the bangalore boys...bluevolt...and others answer this!!

Thanks a ton bro. I appreciate all the help.

I did email fatbikez but mostly got only one liners in reply. Was not too impressed with the way they responded.

I have the detailed instructions with photos. Only worried about the cutting part.

hi guys: just ordered biking gloves from cramster - Rs.1100, so i have only a helmet & gloves as riding gear. What is the other "basic stuff" that is a must have ? At this moment I dont want to spend more than 5k - 10k for the basic riding gear. I am not much of a tourer but do go for 100-200 km rides once a month & rides out of town... at good speeds. Thanks guys.

Ya...fatbikez replies only with one liners. But an honest website.
Speak with Doug & let him know that you know me (Karan) [email protected] , I weighed my options ..did i want to save my frames during a crash...save my money or bother about cutting...which would not interfere with anything at a later stage...i chose saving my money during a crash..so you take a call

Atleast get a Riding Jacket.. Cramster Raptor and Pulse both are around 5200 bucks. I am using the Raptor and its totally worth the money. The other option is Planet DSG.

Considering Mumbai weather.. Cramster Breezer would suit you best.

The next thing on my list is knee pads, planning to get Alpinestar Knee protectors on payday
