chain for ninja#2

Not really. The life span of drive chain is generally 25k-30k miles i.e. around 40k-48k kms.
Update: In last few days, we've checked many alternatives for chain (online as well as offline). Looks like things will settle in 2-3 days. Will keep you all updated.

Which brand are you talking about here?! Source? I'm on the look out for a rear hugger on a good deal else I'm going for BV's DIY FZ hugger.

Bluevolt's DIY hugger is one of the best fitting and cheapest.

I too faced the same problem , not once but twice.. I do not know why people in Bangalore have crazy for tank pads which is their on other's bike..

I replaced it with a new one for a cheaper price.

Off topic - Nice lid in ur profile pic <----

thanks to both will try out something on similar lines.

Thank rider! It's an asset I had to wait for over a year to find. It's only two months old now.

3rd service

hi,

people my bike is due for third service n due to rains and non driving its delayed by two months now. i wonder what oil these people will put into bike during oil change.... i guess they are putting same oil that they put into P220 .....and they have a common container for oil from which they are putting oil in every bike ....

guys gimme some suggestion ........i m waiting ....

Yeah, I know TV, but i'm too lazy to do it myself.

yes you can buy bajaj oil DTS - SI with "JASO - MA" specs. will cost around Rs 700 for 2 one litre sealed bottle. or any good quality 4T mineral / semi synthetic oil around 1000 to 1500 bucks for 2 litres. ( castrol / shell / motul ). rated at 20 w 40 or 10 w 50.

I've recently made few minor visual and practical changes to my baby

1. Zero Gravity Sports Tourer windcreen
2. Rascal Graffik 3 part tank pad
3. SIDI stickers at various places

Reason for 1.

In order to reduce wind buffeting greatly and change the appearance. I can now literally sit upright (well, almost upright but certainly i dont need to crouch even half as much as i used to before) even at speeds in excess of 160kmph! Benefits being, almost all the wind resistance is blown over my helmet making my helmet extra quiet and making the ride much more comfortable, specially for long journeys as i ride more than 75% on highways. I personally like the looks but its subjective. I can live with a few odd comments as long as i can ride longer easier.

Reason for 2.

I wanted a thicker and longer tank pad (preferably 3 parts) and this was the best i could find. I felt it aesthetically improved the look as well as reduced the area of potential scratches.

Reason for 3.

Got them with sidi riding boots. I desperately wanted to reduce the GREEN on my baby as i sport a full green riding gear! I wanted a sporty yet subtle stickers on my ninja hence i opted for these!

p.s. Any suggestions of professional looking (classy) stickers to further change the appearance are greatly appreciated!

Guys, I am in process to change my rear tyre to the pirelli sport demon (130). The lowest I could get it is for 3450/- but I am not sure how the shop is going to do it without putting the bike on a stand. Would lifting the bike on a car jack placed beneath the rear shock while it being on the side stand be a good idea?

Also, while reassembling the wheel, does the chain have to be readjusted. Are there any other precautions to be taken care for this job so that the wheel is properly balanced etc.

BTW the prices for the chain sprocket are an absolute shocker. All spare part prices are ridiculously high, probably suitable for a bike costing more like 8 lakh rupees. Bajaj....we are not happy with this

There is one more thing. i recently changed the engine oil myself and seem to have put in a little more than ideal. It is going a little over the glass window when the bike is level. Does anyone know if this can be a problem and if i want to reduce the excess oil how can I?

Nice tankpad....

yesterday i.e. Saturday black ninja with black jacket spotted around 2.30 PM at McDonalads Panvel any one from XBhp???

While travelling to pune yesterday i was in a bus suddenly one R15 entered on mumbai pune expressway policeman was trying to stop him surprisingly he was running his bike hell like anything..on expressway finally i don't know where he vanished since shiveneri overtook him so fast..

Tank Pads Look good! .. but the Windscreen makes her look like she got a mohawk hair do .. Even i dont like the full green, i have done some small decal job on the rear tail.. will post the pic later.
