Had to wash the bike immediately because it was raining all day long more pics coming soon

Congratz on your purchase

guys is changing my stock tyre to prille tyre a good idea... dose it improve handling or grip ... can i go for 140/70/17" ?... or 130/70/17" is enough?...

1000 over finally

And here we go guys. My bike's finally gonna complete 1000kms. Planning to take it to the service tomorrow.
Where can I get the Motul Oil? And btw the SC told me that the 1st service would cost me 1500rs. I am wondering if I take my own Oil that is the motul , will there be any reduction in price as their price is inclusive of the DTSI oil which they put?
Any idea?

Nice work Vishwas ji. The mud will be thrown to the centre of the radiator only from front fender, so I was also worried about it. But I think we can only use it in rainy season because it will restrict some air throw in summer right?
Anyway excellent inovation.

Congrats for getting your dream bike dude. Paint the town green

Have you painted the mirrors green? Or bangladesi version comes with green mirrors?

Pirelli is a good option. I am using the stock size tyres on both front and rear. It is betterthan stock IRC I think. But IRC is not bad either. It will improve grip and handling but don't expect a miracle. you can go for 140 or even 150 but they will reduce the handling a bit. I tried Bridgestone 150/70/17 but it was a heavy one and the pickup, handling and mileage reduced a little so I changed it to 130/70/17 pirelli. I think 140 will be ok.

No shops will take back motorycycle tyres like cars tyres I think. so why waste money? When you get the bike enjoy it or some time as stock then you can change to better tyres if you want more grip.


Yes, they will reduce the oil cost. They will only charge for oil filter and paid service fee.

Actually i imported it from India and i didn't paint the mirror got my bike today morning

Oh. It looks like a 2010 model. Is it a used one? How much it costed you?

Thank you so much.

1000km

Here it is guys, Beast has finally covered 1000kms.
Awesooome!

Got the steering cone set from KTM Kothrud. To my surprise, it costs a very reasonable Rs 1200 for the entire set, which is made in Japan. However, the bearings that were given to me were Bajaj bearings made in India so I'm going to try to find a way to use either Honda or Yamaha ones if they've got the same size bearings.

Congrats and wishing you many happy miles with the ninja.

You can upsize to 140/70/17 without any issues. There wont be any drop or difference in acceleration/top whack/mileage. I switched only the rear tire to Pirelli Sport Demon in 140 size and it's miles ahead of the stock IRC tire in terms of grip. Cornering speeds and confidence is much better with the pirelli but its extremely soft so life will be less than half of the IRC. I changed my stock IRC at 17k kms since i was taking my ninja to the track but it would have lasted at least for another 2k kms. The center part of the tire had worn off and had become flat so it was due for a change anyway. For the street use, IRC is more than adequate, so depends on where you're riding.

AFAIK, Pirelli's are not available anymore due to the ISI marking issue going on. Where are you sourcing your Pirelli's from?

Glad you got your issue sorted out mate and pleasantly surprised that it's not costing a bomb

Let me add some realities here...

Point - Stick with 130/70 & don't go for 140/70. Surprised?

As a C250R owner & a stock lover I'm bound to stick to 140/70-17. So when I tried getting THE BEST in the market, there's a big shock!!! There're only 3 manufacturers who make 140/70. MRF, Conti & Dunlop.

I've tried going up to Bridgestone Battleax (I know they cost a bomb but still) & finally understood the (call it whatever) governing this country banned any tire imports from abroad because they do not have ISI mark (WTH!!! tires like Michelin are unsafe because they do not have ISI...what crap)

So my 1 month of search was limited to the above 3 brands; MRF dealer said it takes about 10+ days for them to place an order & get one, Conti was available off the shelf & Dunlop was comparatively better. I sticked to the known angel Conti.

Quite surprisingly I found PSD 130/110-17 was available at most places (they said it was old imports) & they've been stocked before this ISI thing was put into place.

Last but not the least, I'm sharing my 2 cents of my experience what I came across the market & no way trying to change anyone's opinion. Pls use discretion.

Guys is it ok if i use 20w40 yamalube mineral oil with my bike now ? I'm really confused abt which oil should i use now for my bike plz let me knw which is the recommended grade for my bike

Thanks for the compliments.

Yes. We can / should use it only in rainy season. It restricts air flow to some extend. Ambient temperature in rainy season is less so it is ok but the bike would heat up in summer.

Installing or dismantling this metal strip is hardly a 10 min job though.

rear tyre giving problems...
