    Totally worth it if you're moving up from a single cylinder commuter motorcycle. Suggest you look at the riding clubs for picking a used one, coz these people take good care of their machines. Been a part of such group while in B'lore so can be sure about their no-poser/no-rash riding culture. About pricing, Im not an expert, but there have been a few queries on pre-owned N250Rs on this thread, so you can check for the range to Km to Year of Manuf relationship.

    Ride safe.

    Cheers.
    Thank you so much for reply. I m also looking for the same..but still not able to find a single one.

    Re: Kawasaki Ninja 250R

    ^^there was an article that sunny posted few years ago about aftermarket exhausts being illegal. So as far as cops are concerned you can't convince them that the exhausts doesn't make much sound. So if they notice and stop you, your bound to end up paying fine. There is no provision of updating RC or legalising your aftermarket exhaust. So it's just on chance. I have a leo vince carbon slip-on exhaust. It's with a DB killer so it's very silent up to 5-6k rpm. After that it's noticeable loud. The only time I would remove the DB killer is on the track. Otherwise it's a cop inviter. I ride the bike very less so it's safe enough to ride at lower rpm and avoid any attention at all.

    Re: Kawasaki Ninja 250R

    My friend is planning for one of these :

    1. Cobra slip-on - Bachoo Motors

    2. 2008-2012 Ninja 250R IXIL L3X Hyperlow Exhaust - 21,999.00Rs..
    Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIOwlx8sd9A


    Are these illegal / noisy out of rule even after db killer ?

    Is there any way to get it on RC book to legalize it ?
    Or if there is any other paper work that can help to get rid of the cops ?

    I was about to reply earlier but then thought of looking for some other option other than those street radials from michelin. Couldn't find any. Best option in my opinion would be to take the Michelin front. As far as the center groove is concerned, I've never ridding a bike in rain which doesn't have a center groove, so can't say what will be the difference. But a few guys I know use the Michelin front and rear both and have not complained about their wet performance yet. That's still something I can't comment on.

    Please suggest the best one. It should be of semi-soft compound type and have exceptional wet grip. I have been using Pilot Street Radial in rear and found it to be good. However due to the absence of central grooving on the front i am a bit skeptical on the water dispersion capabilities for the Pilot street.
    Any help, please!!

    Hi guys,
    Need some info's. I am planning for a shorty clutch and brake lever. Is there any advantage/disadvantage in using a short or long one? Then I am seriously drooling over the LED blinkers from AVRI. But heard I have to put relays, custom led blinkers and all? Is it a head ache or little effort? Please let me know if someone have put a full system exhaust (any difference in sound and output with slip on?) .. I don't want a loud one, but more docile. Something like AREA P Quite core. Please help me regarding these.

    Leo vice cobra for exhaust is good option has a db killer so may make it lound or not based on mood.

    Post a pic of those led bliker let me check and get back on what additional wiring is needed.

    Hey guys, needed some help.

    I own a 2012 250R, based out of Bangalore right now. I'm looking for a credible space to get my bike a thorough check and a revamp. Confidence on pro-biking service centres is quite low so any leads you can share will be very helpful.

    While the bike has done only 22k on the road, last two years I've not been able to maintain her properly and a lot of parts need to be replaced or checked. I'm finding it difficult to find the time to get the spare parts so am looking for a place that can help in getting all the spare parts, get them fitted and service the bike.

    Things that need replacement:
    - Tyres (purchased PSDs)
    - Headlights
    - One of the indicator lights
    - Chain and sprocket
    - Brake fluid
    - Brake pads and discs
    - Clutch cable, brake cable

    Would also want to check if spark plugs need to be replaced.

    Lastly, I have a leo vince slip on from the start, I'm wondering if there is any merit to go back to the stock. In case anyone has made the transition from a slip on back to the stock, please do share your experience.

    Thanks guys,
    Vishal
    If you would have have been in Delhi I would have done much of the above stuff for you( not everything).
    I actually switched to leo vince after around 2 years. Why would you want to switch back to stock? I personally don't like loud bikes but it compromises for performance and the shear weight difference. So I won't be switching to stock anytime soon.
    I would personally want an akrapovic if I could get a used one.:P
    I ride my bike very less so I usually procure replacement parts from outside. Like I've asked a friend to get me a chainset, EBC clutch springs and EBC clutch plates from US. These aftermarket parts perform way better than stock and are cheaper as well.
