Hi guys,

My Ninjette is due for insurance renewal this month-end. had got Bajaj Allianz insurance with my bike. I live in Pune. Can someone give inputs like which is a better insurer, experiences in claim settlement, zero depreciation, pricing and stuff?

hi brother u can go for iffco tokio zero percent dep..will settle something close to 8k..it is worth in my opinion...

Yes, they have zero depreciation. But they are the worst insurance company you'll find in terms of service. The transactions of insurance aren't cashless for starters. That's a major piss off. My bike had a small accident. The insurance claim was for 10k. This happened two weeks ago. I just got my bike back from the workshop. All because the insurance people delayed everything for two whole weeks. I would suggest against iffco.

guys,i have a problem
Have been an owner of the ninja for almost a year now,of late there has been a lot of strain on my arms.I keep moving around while breaking and I feel a lot of strain on my hands,especially near my elbow and triceps.i try bending my elbows as much as possible,but it persists.
What can i do? Its really taking a toll......

+1 to that!
@keyrun
I use my bike as an every day bike with no problems what so ever.Only point u should be concerned about is the parking in public places.But what I've noticed is that,in any given parking lot,your bike is as safe as a R15 or CBR.Fared bikes always draw people

And using it everyday,If you say compare it with CBR which gives about 27kmpl in Bangalore traffic,A Ninja will give about 23-24.
Like me if you travel in semi/urban roads ,I get a constant 26kmpl per litre.
The linear power delivery and the gearing makes it easy to putter around town.A lot of people have talked about the lack of torque ,But I have never felt this even after switching from Fz16 much like yourself(mine was also the 1st gen,but it was joeled and produced massive torque which would put the 220 to shame)
The normal service will set you back by about 3k for normal service.It might be on the expensive side by the interval is 6k kms so its quite reasonable compared to bikes which have lesser interval(R15 3k kms)
Other common maintenance will be break pads which needs to be changed on an interval based on your riding style.(break pad costs 1.1k).
And regarding the accident part,Riding a bike like Ninja, At least for me I am extra cautious and extra careful,always reminding myself that I am riding a mini SBK(atleast on Indian Roads).
If sadly ,any mishap does occur you can always have some back up savings.
IMO i don't think its appropriate to back out of a decision of buying a dream bike solely on the basis of a worry that "what if I get into an accident".

If you are a purist and want unadulterated sheer performance,Ninja is the bike for you!

She looks absolutely gorgeous!! Did you get all the accessories at PRS & Bachhoo motors or ordered off the net? It would be great if you could post the vendor details along with prices for each mod... Would love to pick up a couple of mods for my green hornet as well!!

I have sourced the parts from several places, right from Performance racing Store, to EBay to Bangkok to USA

1) Levers - Rs.2500 (incl shipping) from eBay.. Great quality! At par with pazzo i would say you can mix and match multiple colours for the lever, the adjuster and the extension option.
2) Zero Gravity Double Bubble Windscreen - Rs.5500 PRStore
3) Oil Cover, Clutch adjuster and front disc guard - Rs.5000 Bangkok
4) Stem Nut, Rim Stripes and Tank Pad - Rs.3500 USA
5) Gel Pad - Rs.4,000 USA
6) Heavy Duty Shogun Frame Sliders - Rs.8000 USA
7) A-Tech CArbon Fibre Rear Hugger - Rs.8000 Bangkok
8) Evotech Radiator Guard - Rs.4000 USA
