1. You mean the bike is stiff NOT bouncy! A bike is bouncy when the suspension is soft. If the bike is bouncy you need to sitffen the suspension. If the potholes or road irregularites are felt amplified at the butt then yours is a stiff suspension and you can set the rear to soft. It will never be as soft as a 220. Tbh you would not wanna have it very soft. It will work against you !

2. Tool kit in the storage area under the rear seat is the culprit for the 'THUD'. Get rid of it if you dont want the thud.
Dont forget to put it back in there for long inter city rides.

Ride On Ride Safe !

Alarm System Anyone

Guys,
I am planning to order an Alarm System for the Ninja. Has anyone succeeded in fixing one? I am concerned about the wiring. Your inputs would be highly valued. The link for the alarm system is below:

Thanks

Buddy ... before installing it, confirm it with Bajaj, coz they may have warranty issues.

I was told by the Service Engineer that the warranty of the battery would be void if we fiddle with the electricals and that includes installing a security system.

Thanks for the warning killer. I dont mind if the battery warranty gets void. But if the entire electrical setup gets void then have to think again. But I really feel a bike like this in India needs some mechanism to deter ppl from sitting and taking pics.. One fall and off she goes..

Would be great to know what the seniors: Tenhut, Bluevolt, jd666 et. al. have setup in their bikes.

Totally agree. I was thinking of getting one too. Its a problem especially if you are living in an apartment building like me.

Agreed that security is an issue. I know bluevolt uses a disc lock with alarm built in, but its stand alone, as in it does not connect to the bike battery in anyway, or the electrical system.

Modifying the electrical system in anyway can void your warranty, which is for 2 years and 30k or 40k im not sure. So keep that in mind before doing anything.

I also wanna do a few mods to my ninja like changing the switch gear to that of the R15, but i gotta hold it.

If u have a basement parking in your complex, best is to park bike there, and have a good heavy cover over it. That will deter people from bothering to lift the cover to see underneath.

i park both the ninja and R15 between the cars and the wall in the basement, so there really isnt much space left for anyone to mess around, and they are covered all the time.

Also a few bucks to the guard now and then wont hurt!!! lol !!

Its 2 years or 30k whichever is earlier.

dont get that. Get the stand alone Xena Disc lock system. It is louder than a Jet turbine and one doesnt have to play around with the wires and battery.

I have the Xena system but have never used it. Tbh ppl get tired of ur bike faster than u do and there comes a time when the same lot of ppl living in ur society wont even bother looking at ur bike.

Whatever you do pls dont get a system where u have to fiddle around with the battery...with or without warranty.

Even I use the Xena Disc Lock (XX10) .. believe me because of it I can work and sleep peacefully.

YouTube - Xena Lock sound

The alarm is really loud and scares anybody who tries to fiddle with the bike. Guys in office have now stopped removing the cover etc because of the alarm.

You can order it from amazon or ebay. I ordered it from amazon and asked a friend to bring it from US hence saved on shipping.

Thanks Tenhut and Killer. In that case I will stick to the Xena alarms. Will wait till the warranty runs out and then check the market. Who knows.. In two years there might be an apple or android application which doubles up as your motorbike alarm system

@Killer, that Xena lock sounds a good idea. Any odea about the cost and where it is available?

yes..guys...pls help with cost & availability..my bike is scratched on the tank..scratched on the right tail fender...right turn signal which i imported from the US..broken...in the last 4 months...i am mind fcuked!!!

Which model did you buy?

The second link says Stainless Steel yellow. I guess the first one is better as more features are listed.

Both are the same except for the color. I got the Stainless Steel. Pic below:



Let me give you guys some idea about these locks. I did a lot of research on this before I got the bike coz I was paranoid about the security of my bike.

XX6 - has 6 mm pin and has 120 db alarm and provides lesser safety than XX10 and XX14

XX10 and XX14 - has 10 mm and 14 mm pins respectively, and have some more protective features as compared to XX6 but are expensive.

I did a lot of googling but did not get any negative reviews on the Xena alarms. As for me I very happy with its performance.

The lock comes with 3 keys and metal key code tag with a code in case you need duplicate keys.

Bluevolt has a XX6, however he faced some issues with the alarm, could be a battery issue or could be a hardware failure, am not sure.


I had ordered it from Amazon and got it delivered to my friend's address in the US and he got it when he came back to India, however amazon does not ship to India.

But I see a lot of good deals at ebay. If you guys club your orders you can save a lot in shipping too. Here is what I found:
