  • Guys,

    I have broken my collarbone and probably wont be riding for a month or two. What do I need to do with the bike to prevent the battery etc from draining out in the interim period?

    What i usually do currently is start it and let the engine run for ~5 minutes twice every week. Given the status of my shoulder I cant even dare moving it.

    Rgds,
    Vaibhav

      Was at PBK yesterday getting my 3rd service done and wandered around to kill some time. They had a black and a green in stock - was told that they were available immediately - but do call and check.

      As for 'thinking' - stop and plunge in! Have had mine for 11 months and 12200kms and loved every minute on it!

      As an owner of one of the few blackies, I can tell you that you will NOT get any eyeballs with a blackie. It's not that the blackie doesn't look good - I still think that the black has a menace and sense of intrigue that the greenie will never achieve - but the greenie is just out and out eye-catching! Even superbikes have to compete for attention when the greenie is around!!

      Oh! .....and the Blackie is one cast iron bi#ch to keep clean and shiny!!

          I was damn confused which color should I go for until today, I borrowed the bike from my friend who happens to have it in green.I was riding solo and was caught for overspeeding. The personnel showed me my photo on their screen and I was lookin damn sexy on the bike with the green helmet on. So I'm gonna go for green....

              Mine is stock but had the good fortune to come across both a few days ago.

              The Two Brothers was full system and very loud but IMHO sounded very dirt-bike like. I rode with this guy for about 100kms and honestly even just riding near him made me make a silent note that if I ever did buy an after market - it would NOT be a two brothers! I found the sound a little irritating after awhile.

              The Yoshimura was slip-on only (I think) and while also quite loud sounded more sportsbike like. A more mature sound if it can be called that.

              I know this is vague but I'm not sure how to describe the sounds better.

                    For the battery you can disconnect the terminals...the manual has detailed steps on what needs to be done....draining out the fuel may also be needed... would be better if you check out the manual though...

                      Check out the akrapovic or leo vince sbk exhausts for the ninja....both have a killer sound and are available in performance racing store and bachoo motors respectively in mumbai.. They ought to be cheaper out there in UK...

                      If your ninja has a white dial and green rear tails, its either a 2010 or 2011 model (I think)....

                      And also do you plan to install the exhaust as soon as you get the bike, because that will void the warranty....

                            I was caught on Mysore road near my college, and my D/L was at my home, still they fined me only 300 bucks and let me off.
                            Now I'm never gonna ride without my D/L

                              Of the two ill prefer the yoshimura. Have heard both the exhaust, the yoshimura had a deep muted sound whereas the two brothers is more of loud phat-phat sound. The ninjas we get here are the same as the intl models. The newer ones are the 10' models. Prior to 2010 it was the 08' version.


                              BTW one of my friends is on a lookout for a used 250r. Came across a mid 2009 model with around 13000km on the odo. the bike is in good condition. rear tire certainly needs replacement after some 1k odd km. What will be a good price to pay for it?

                                On the way to Hosur, at least 8-10 KMs after Electronic City. Don't know the exact place.
