Recently i did Hyderabad-Chennai to and fro. After reaching home i noticed that 3 Bolts on the fairing were missing and one another was about to fall.I rode at avg 80-100 speeds.Road has some bad patches.Is this the reason for the bolts dropping off or the Servicing guys not tightening them enough.
Anyways for the bolts..they usually don't fall off so easily, but yes the bad road sto give a hard time to the bike if the suspension settings are stock..which are usualy hard.
if the screws were already lose they could have fallen off due to vibrations, or else normally they don't.Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

Help required...
Hi guys.I'm planning to buy a ninja 250r this Diwali (saving up on the moolah ). Needed to know if I should book one that late in the year or if I should rather wait for the 2013 model? You never know what changes kawasaki may introduce.
Also, by when does kawasaki usually announce the release of a new ninja 250? I haven't even booked the damn thing and I'm already excited and impatient ...
Thanks in advance.Ride Fast, Ride Safe

While driving through very heavy traffic, sometimes the engine heats up so much, that it shuts down. Previously, I used to bring the vehice back to Neutral and then start it. I just realized few days back, that you could start the bike in whichever gear. Keep the clutch pressed and press the start button. The engine is back to life. Similar to what you could do in cars.

There are various detailed threads on this on ninjette.org. Search there and you'll find all the info.
I have the Bike Monkey tail lamp but it is not the one which has turn signals integrated with the tail lamp unit. Wanted something basic so bought this. Straight bolt on fit with no modifications whatsoever to the electrical system. Unless changes are made to the electricals there wont be warranty issues. But check with the service center, they may be paranoid about small and insignificant things
For the fairing bolts issue, they never fell off for me in the last 21,500 kms or 2 yrs. They were not tight enough when you serviced the bike.ATGATT - Because hospital ceilings are boring !!!

My Bike has done 30,000+ Kilometers now. In my last ride to Meghamalai (In Tamil Nadu) - The Bike had to go through some 30-40 kms of very rough roads (Including off roading in the hills) - The Bike was once dropped at stand still (Since i used the front brake to stop at a steep uphill haripin bend) and the right fairing had a small cut
1) The Engine Oil level at stand still was too low (like i could harldly see any engine oil in the indicator near the engine) - But the Low Engine Oil level Indicator on the Speedometer never lit up.. I would any way service the bike (& change the engine oil) - Just wanting to know
2) What is covered in 30000 Km service (I dont have the manual, So wont know)
3) The Fork Seals are broken - would it imply the forks need to be checked as well?
4) Could the fairings be replaced under insurance? What would be the cost i need to shell out? The right fairing has a small broken piece and left fairing has scratches from my previous fall last year..
5) On a certain speed - If i press the clutch and let the bike roll - I feel a small wired sound from the front wheel (I have already lubed the speedo worm gear before the ride) - But it still happens, any other solutions?
Thanks in advance for your repliesPhoto Gallery[/B]

Check the oil level in the window, first thing in the morning, when the engine is cold. When the engine is turned ON, oil is pumped into the head and other internals of the engine so it will always appear to be on the lower side. To be safe, mentally keep a note of when the oil was changed. It should last at least 5-6k kms unless the engine is consuming more oil than petrol.
2) What is covered in 30000 Km service (I dont have the manual, So wont know)
Will check and let you know once i get back home. Call me in the evening at around 8pm
3) The Fork Seals are broken - would it imply the forks need to be checked as well?
Yes. How did you manage to bust the fork seals?
You should check the forks for any damage, replace the fork oil and seals.
4) Could the fairings be replaced under insurance? What would be the cost i need to shell out? The right fairing has a small broken piece and left fairing has scratches from my previous fall last year..
Fairings can be replaced under insurance. One side costs 15k (as reported here a few posts back) and you will only get 50% since it is plastic.
5) On a certain speed - If i press the clutch and let the bike roll - I feel a small wired sound from the front wheel (I have already lubed the speedo worm gear before the ride) - But it still happens, any other solutions?
Could be friction from disc pads on the rotor, tire noise, wheel bearing, etc. Can't say without hearing it myself.

I had a similar problem, Engine shutting down when the fan switched on.
Cleaning the radiator, and Slight increase in the Idle RPM solved the problem..RIP Marco

One way to counter this is to switch off the bike during long Red Lights or traffic jams.
If the heat guage is redlining, you need to take it to service centre asap.Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.
