taken ninja for a spin (55 kms) today after changing the bulk oil put in by PBK chennai for second service with Bajaj DTS-SI bottle pack(oil changed within 48 hours of second service and 150 kms). the ride was much better.

as per manual the following are to be replaced for the second service:

1. OIL and OIL filter

2. Spark plugs

but it seems that all things are left optional and each PBK has different things to replace etc as per their stock and take the 526/bucks as service charge.

just relax it is common. i have dropped my ninja at 500kms and broken the indicator. just get your bike checked at probiking and your ninja will be in good shape.

do they keep sufficient spares with them or will i have to wait for it..I'm planning to change the bent rear brake pedal..also thinking of installing frame sliders so that a fall doesn't create issues of this magnitude in future...

Wait for sometime and check the rear hugger of the CBR250R
I think it would be a direct fit

Are they filling the details of the service done, in the manual??

I will be getting delivery of my bike in couple of days. I'm seeking to know what is the best oil suited for this bike and something new Ninja owners learned about the bike after riding some kms...

Why do they change the spark plugs.. I have read it in other ninja forums , that the sparks fitted in ninja lasts really long and no need to change them unless they go bad..?

I think you can go for motul mineral (200 bucks) or semi synthetic(450 bucks).

no they are not. just they stamp the manual with the Kms you have done the service

1. you cannot wait till they go bad especially if you frequently go out on long rides, the logic is if you ride your ninja more in the city and stop and go traffic, even though you odo is not clocking, your plugs are working. so its better to change it at about 3000 kms or so. but if you are willing to take chances ( till it fails) the ninja plug should last you about 10,000 kms or so. you can clean them every 2000 kms in this case.

2. thanks, but now i am tempted to go for fully synthetic ( in conflict to my own oil logic ) by the time my ninja clocks about 8000 kms.

My friend is bringing me a whole lot of monster energy stuff from US.. Right from tank pads,declas,rim stickers,gloves, key chain etc. Was searching for Monster Energy Jacket could not find one in time though..

**kariznin** · 05-18-2011, 12:20 AM

Is anyone using any protective coating like Teflon for their Ninja's that would really protect from scratches? Any brand you guys would recommend for the same?
And is there anyway to remove scratches from Exhaust black matt finish ?

Afaik, Teflon doesn't protect from scratches...
It just protects from very very minor ones which even a Wax polish does...

Btw, any suggestions for tank pads available in India for the Ninja...
Waiting for some pics

Why they did change the spark plugs? Even in the manual, it states that the changes are at every 12,000 kms! Changing plugs at 3000 is just adding to the landfill. I do a lot of city traffic since I commute to office on my 250, and I changed my spark plugs at 23,000 kms.
