Welcome to the Club... In 2+ months I'm almost at 3000Km and enjoying...
Heat should subside by the time of 1st service... Heat also shows up if you rev high in lower gears...

I'm sure you will have some difference in Chennai due to weather conditions as well unlike us from Bangalore.

Don't park your bike anywhere... always ride it

Tank pads you can get from Immortalgraphix through Ebay US
Immortal Graphix items - Get great deals on Universal Tank Pads, New Custom Quadra Tank Pads items on eBay Stores!

I have the Monster Energy Black Fire Green Tank pad...
Good product and looks good too...
You can select from 17 different shapes too

Delivery takes 3 weeks since the package would be marked not to be bent and goes through manual sorting in US postal service.

Was this intended for me
I didn't get what was your point
I don't park my bike in malls/theaters doesn't mean that I bought the bike to keep her only in my garage

+1000
Rightly said, I do that always. Whenever, I take her out, just keep on riding and when need to take rest I never leave her unattended.

recent photos...

Notice the FULL rainbow (very rare)

Awesome. Did you make a wish?

P.S. Looks like Panchgani. Am i right?

I think they do mention the approx time it will take when they ship, but if i remember correctly it took about 2 weeks or so.

Yes. It is panchgani.

Some more photos of the same ride -

One of my cousin Ninja (recently buy..only 500 KM on odo) has been crash after some guys hit from front...bike was in standing mode outside shop when some guys on bike hit and run away...

Break lever completely damage along with faring ...given to Tilak nagar service center (delhi) ...damage estimated around 43,000... and delivery estimated approx. 1 month...

its ninja buddy cant help the fact that spares are super pricey....but one month for the repair is on high side(shouldnt be more than 2 weeks)

Seems like BAJAJ is learning from all the complaints they are receiving across the country for the delay in providing spares for Ninja and are just playing a safe game

Amit & Vishwas: Rainbow pics are awesome!

Thanks a ton guys. Appreciate the wishes :-) ...this thread has been very inspiring, informative, and reassuring about the bike's bullet proof reliability.

About the heat, honestly I was well clothed, no 3/4th, shorts...in any case, I've acclimatized to the bike now, including the heat :-) ...not an issue at all now! Done with 200kms for now...hoping to touch 1000 soon. As of now, busy painting Chennai green :-)

Thanks again guys :-)

My Short Experience with The Mean Green..

Hi All,

i had the privilege of getting my hands on baby ninja on a small ride to Lonavla and back last Sunday. I would sincerely like to thank my friend SP for entrusting me with his beloved mean green demon.

Would just like to share my experience with you, mind you the reader may get bored!! :

1) For all those who say that Baby Ninja is difficult to maneuver in traffic: UTTER NONSENSE!!! I am a proud owner of FZ and i have to admit, Ninja was an absolute breeze to ride through Mumbai traffic. i was able to take her through the same nukkad gallis and small openings in traffic like i would do with my FZ.

2) For all those who say that Ninja Lacks Low end - mid range punch: Absolute Rubbish!! at times i was unknowingly doing 30kmph on 6th gear and the Ninja pulled very cleanly all the way to top without any hiccups whatsoever!

3) Ninja not good for long rides: Again NONSENSE!! I did more than 100 km ride without any back ache or with wrists paining. The ride position is bit sporty though but not that much to hurt your spine... for some awkard reason i felt comfortable from shifting to ninja from my FZ in an instant.. i am 5 '10 so i don't think anyone taller than me would have any issues either!!

4) Stability: i simply loved the confidence it gave to the rider to take on corners without sweating.. i was able to control her with ease at low and high speed runs as well!!

5) Ninja is subtle when you are gentle with her... But all hell breaks lose when you downshift a gear or two and let the screamer hit 6000 - 11,000 rpm.. IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE AN I4!! atleast i couldnot make out any difference of sound when i was busy putting the tacho to redline... i ended up purposely downshifting at times just to hear the sweet parallel twins screaming on top of their voice making all heads turn all the time... P.S. No rash driving and everything was attempted with proper riding gear from top to bottom..

6) Power is absolutely amazing and its not like uncontrollable!! for a rider like me upgrading to a 250cc was an easy task without thinking even once and i was able to do it in less than 5 mins. She was able to hit 120 kmph in a matter of secs and that too with a pillion rider... i didn't push it any further as the pillion rider was scared to death.. for the baby ninja... it was effortless to hit that figure!! simply amazing...

I haven't had a chance to test the CEEBEER 250R yet but i must say to all those who say that Ninja is no match to a CBR.. please think again.. it is a different animal all together!! it changed my view in matter of minutes and for the price it is totally worth it... and ofcourse i was loving every moment of the unwanted poser value where people would inadvertently end up asking the universal indian question " Kitne Ka hain, Kitna Deti Hain??" ( How much is it for, how much mileage does it give??) Iam sure all ninja riders must be used to it by now!!

Cheers
