Dont sweat Kiran! I won't be doing any such mods except changing to k&n! I have considered the full exhaust system and the pc but they'll set me back by 50k easily and all that for a 10-15% increase in power! (i'm aware it doesnt just improve the power delivery but also many other things). Besides like harsha said, there aren't many, infact we'd be lucky to find a professional who'd have the knowledge and experience at changing the maps according to our liking! takes too much time, requires passion and self know how!

With my limited knowledge i can say that the stock ECU can compensate no more than with a 5% deviation to correct the AFR values. Good enough for a stock replacement K&N air filter. But with an exhaust the stock ECU wont be able to compensate the change in AFR.

If the bike was equipped with a wide band sensor (not sure if it is equipped with one) it is easier to figure out the deviation. Please also note that the stock/factory ECU's cannot be remapped or reprogrammed. You would need a piggyback system that fools your stock ECU to compensate the values or a standalone ECU like the PC5. PC's can be remapped according to preference. You wouldnt need to change many maps to figure out what suits you best. Its not a long drawn process

:P :P..with the power commander involved i am think over the tyga again

ninja has wide band sensor ....is there anyone here who have got a powercommander for ninja??
i am quite sure that i cant get maps and tune the power commander and the option left for me will be banglore and then again it will be a bigger process...how i wish the stock ecu can handle the exhaust...

Looks like some great performance mod classes are going here.
It was of great learning from the last two pages of the thread.

Guys I had encountered an issue with my Ninja, last week I had gone for a ride for about 100KMS and it went all good but when I started to go real hard on the throttle, shifting each time around 12K my bike refused to go above 140 mark. I thought may be that day was too windy or so and at that time didn't bothered much and just came back home.
The next day I started the bike, it felt very sluggish and harsh, was not gaining speeds as swiftly as it does, so I felt may be it's just a small ride, so felt the same.
Today, I went for a longer ride again it was feeling sluggish, stopped the bike and checked the engine oil, it was just visible from the oil window and it was all black.
What had gone wrong, why oil turned black when my bike just clocked 3150KMS and oil was changed at 1250KMS?
What should I do now, immediately go for the oil change and 2nd service/ just get the left over oil drained and get it filled ?
Did revving at higher rpm with low engine oil did much harm to the engine ?

Guys check out these accessories for your Bikes. I liked these do thought of posting it here. You can pm me for the contact Details of the dealer in india if you want.

which oil are you using in the bike??...check the airfilter once if there is too much of dust in it and clean it...it may cause sluggishness....i feel difference in power before and after cleaning the airfilter(i do clean airfilter for evrery 800kms along with chain lubing)..

The Bajaj DTSi oil they provide at the SVC, I took the Motul mineral at the first service but they insisted to go for Bajaj as it will perform good in initial stages. But, my bad, I listened to them and this problem has occurred. Will check the Air Filter too but the oil level is very low, just visible from the window and it's completely black.

^^ Most likely its the air filter. It gets dirty pretty soon during rains. I have always seen a major performance boost once I clean the air filter.

That could be the case but what about the engine oil, it is definitely below the lower mark on the window ?

here at svc the mechanic insisted me not to use that bajaj oil as it have relatively less life when compared to the motul.

As killer said it may be due to air filter..clean it and if you still feel the same, change the oil to bajaj oil and change it to semi synth or full synth(motul) at 6k kms(sec service)

Not sure if anyone has installed a PC on their ninja here.

Check this out. These guys supply ECU's to most of the INRC rally cars and they have ECU's for the ninja too. Speak to Karthik and refer my name. He is a good friend of mine and will be able to help in ECU tuning if you require.

Bajaj oil sucks and it cannot handle the high revving nature of the ninja and therefore it breaks down much faster. Drain the old oil, change the oil filter and fill up with motul mineral (switch to semi synth 5100 15w50 after 5k kms) and get the air filter cleaned also.

Your bike will run as good as new.

Will check the Air filter too and drain the older oil and fill the newer Motul Oil.
But, as I am continuously riding at high rpms, usually red lining, will the Motul mineral last next 1900KMS or so before I go in for 2nd service and change to Semi-synth?

Celebrating my 20th anniversary

Have had the good fortune of celebrating 20000 klicks on my bike today.




"The day i saw you in probiking
I wished you would be mine for the taking
Put the payment down, waited long
Cometh April and i took you home.
You ve been around and had your share of falls
But you have always stood so tall
Oh my love, thank you for all
Kawasaki and Bajaj, Kudos to you all."

WOW, you already crossed 20k mark? I thought you had gone to UK for those 11 months.

Congratulations mate! For completing the 20K Kms mark with your ride.
That's really nice poem that you dedicated for bike.

Cheers! Enjoy!
