    No one is appreciating my creative writing skills here! This seems to be a purely technical forum.Looks like my attempt at humor has bombed big time

    Aargee am serious about the performance modifications but sarcastic about the rest of the stuff (losing my life and hating the innovas and making a firebald)

    That asides,
    Dont mess with the engine for now...

    PS: Anything to do with the last top gear episode of the threesome wanting to soup up a cage :P
    Well Satyen..firstly i got a black bike bcos i know black bikes travel faster than other colors. Now i will try putting all those stickers u mentioned. i hope each sticker increases the top speed by atleast 5 km/h

    No am not drunk, just that i didnt have much work today. And am strictly against smoking pot.

    Why do u say that the engine shouldnt be messed with? Any reasons out of your own experience messing with engines?

      Milton once said "Give me fit audience though few"...and I do appreciate your words..esp., firebald and how to do it ...I thought black bikes were bigger than white ones and hence weigh more

        May I know which sounds best as a real monster and any idea on price ranges?

        • @JAKRAP: You are lucky to have a wife who loves you. Don't risk your life/try to waste your time racing with others on the highway-ride at a safe speed which you enjoy&go back home to your loved one.
          The pleasure of seeing the smile on her face is much more than the angry look on the Innova guy's face after being smoked.

          If the above words don't matter much...If I were to be looking for an SUV thrasher, I would consider a 650 if my budget permitted.

                Lol! No! My bikes are bone stock :P
                .
                .
                .
                .
                .
                .
                .
                so the chassis = bones are stock

                Jokes aside, I ONLY have a souped RTR, the rest of my bikes have always been stock!


                Why I said avoid the performance mods:
                1. You will have BAL on your tail who would say Bye Bye warranty the moment you even fart about a modification
                2. You can extract a few more Bhps from the bike, but then the substitute spares for the same are not really easily available! So reverting back to stock or further souping it can be a royal PITA
                3. The most usual FFE+JuiceBox combo will set you back by a small fortune, you could rather buy a desi gun or few grenades to slow down the innova. While you are at it, you could even extort some money for your favourite firebald!

                So is it possible - Yes
                Worth the hassle - I dont know!

                PS: Black bikes are slower as they dont allow light to pass through them

                  Can any of the enlightened souls here throw some light on this dark brain?

                  • @Jakrap Please put a sticker which reads '650R' on you Ninja. Its the holy grail of all stickers. Guaranteed sub 5 second ton. And for heaven's sake.. Innovas are the easiest to smoke. They rarely run over 110.

                    @Satyen I Thought that black bikes are black because they are faster than speed of light. Thats the reason why they are black, light can never reflect off them
                    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                      Reasons for the post- The love for my life and the hate for Innovas

                      1) I have distantly heard of souped up R-15 being Ninja killers. I need to soup up my NInja before any of the R-15s kill me or my Ninja. You know i want to stay alive (being recently married, my wife loves me very much and i dont want to loose her love).
                      2) Last time on the highway i was racing with an Innova. I managed to overtake him (we were doing around 140+) but i couldnt shake him off my rear view mirror. Need the NInja to go faster, much faster than Innovas. I hate Innovas you see! Please dont tell me to remove my rearview mirrors!


                      Objective for performance modifications

                      Want to make it a Firebald (if you havent heard about a firebald, go light a cigarette from the cooking gas stove (put ur face down when u light)) killer. It doesnt mean that i need a rocket launcher on it but need it to go faster than a firebald till atleast 150 (know the firebald is 1000cc) I know there is "no replacement for displacement" but i dont want any more displacement because there are a lot of displaced villagers in India and i dont want to pick up fights with them.

                      The performance increase should be in the following range
                      1) 0-100 (the current one should do it in 7 seconds). Am looking at somewhere below 5. If you can help me make it 3, nothing like that.
                      2) Top speed of atleast 200 (no driving off the cliff stuff!). The last time i met a college Launda in Probiking he said his Ninja goes to 200! Why cant mine?

                      ha ha you have put the thread on turbo drive atleast. there is no cheap option here. but one way to get a 15% genuine speed boost on the stock is to go for ultra light marchesini wheels on your ninja costing about 1.5 lakhs. combined with a tuned performance exaust ( not aftermarket cans you get ) innovas are game.

                      you have not yet touched the engines yet. part 2 is to spoil your engine ( i mean push your engine) by playing around with the ECU and / aftermarket juice box.

                      they floor the pedals on the innovas on a clear straight go above 150 or so. but once they slow down ninja cuts the innova down. that is if you are riding at a speed of about 120 to 140 on the ninja. so many times i had played with innovas, but one has to remember that you are on a bike and he is in his tin can. so we have to play safe. with a rear passenger ninja is really slow for any games esp with fast cars.

                          I ve never heard/seen any r15 being a ninja killer. a few did manage a top end of 140-150km/h. i moved into 6th, waved good bye and calmly went on to 170km/h while humming my favorite tune.

                            YOu are spot on. Prob it was my mistake. I should have put a disclaimer in the end saying that all the R-15s, Innovas and firebalds in this post is purely fictional and the only thing that is real is the NInja

                            Have you heard Gordon Gekko in Wheelstreet giving the speech

                            "The point is, ladies and gentleman, that Speed, for lack of a better word, is good. Speed is right, Speed works. Speed clarifies, cuts through, and Overtakes all the Civics, Audis and the BMWs . Speed, in all of its forms; Speed for the bike, for money, for love has marked the upward surge of mankind. And speed, you mark my words, will not only save Ninja 250R, but thrash all those ninja killers around."

                            So the speed or greed for speed is always good. It ever ends!!

                            Thanks for the input. I will try putting that too. I like your reasoning on the black front too.

                            Or keep your 250R for track-usage & buy a 650R.

                            Junk both, buy 796.

                            Do the Car drivers get that much of an open road (gaps) in traffic to be a bother?
                            You are spot on. A 600 would solve all my problems. But then there is no way i can lay my hands on one.

                            Did you mean singing songs which are fast (like the NFS sound track) will increase the top end?

                            Finally the conclusible options for a faster Ninja are:

                            1) Will remove that saree guard and front number plate to see if there is a difference. That should be around 1kg saved. No cost assosciated with this.
                            2) Getting a slip on can should save some more weight but cost is around 20-30K
                            3) Power Commander (not sure how this thing works). The cost is around 20-30K.
                            4) Marchesini Wheels- Very much out of budget here. But still an option to be considered.
                            5) FFE and Juice Box-Need to find some one reliable who has already done this.
                            6) K&N, 650R, Kamati Stickers
                            7) Listening to Dik-chik Dik-Chik Songs

                            About the wararnty, its either 2 years or 30K kms and i have just another 5K left.

                              Ha ha so the speed bug has got you...nothing unusual..since at 60yrs I find 110 on highway to be sedentary,you at your age will find 150 to be shuffling of feet.

                              An FFE will get you to top speed fast,and so is the case with power commander which can alter injector PWM and Ignition timing map.
                              Enhanced displacement will give you satisfaction for the next 6 months..I guess
