    yes, @BIC. Last year I took a 30 min session only. That was enough to memorize the track and the lines but not to post a fast lap. Hopefully should be better this time.

      Wow! Sexy!! Actually my original exhaust is kinda chipping off.. And it looks so bad and original costs rs 31000/- so I am trying to find an alternative for it which is not loud.. I do long distance travel in higher speeds in the range of 120kmph..so if it's loud, it will be tiring. Btw, how much you paid for Leo Vince carbon? Is there any advantage in full system? The sound itself is different in full system so is total output. I even planned to put N300 silencer which is far better and only need few modifications..

        This one I got is from Bachoo motors, Mumbai. Cost was 20,000Rs. It took me like 5-7 min to remove old one and same time to install the new one, pretty straight forward.
        The biggest advantage I felt was with the weight. Otherwise sound is different but not too loud. I personally prefer silent bikes because of which non of my earlier bikes had an aftermarket exhaust. So I did a lot of searching before finalizing this one. This was the best that fits my budget.

        Which is the 31K exhaust you have? I'm really interested in an Akrapovic exhaust if someone can get me a a used one.

          31k exhaust is for the OEM one.. Useless right? 33k for N300 exhaust.. I enquired.. :P I'll also go for Leo vince since Akrapovic is costly.. But the main problem is absolutely good quality fakes.. First quality to be precise. Last week I enquired about Leo Vince carbon, the shop guy showed me the original catalogue and all. He said 10k for slip on and 17500 for full system. I asked him are you sure about this..? :P even he's not sure about genuineness coz he's taking it from a distributor. AREA P quiet core is bassy and quite and full system produces ~4 BHP and 1.2NM more in dyno. But again too costly.. I was mesmerised by the sound of Binelli and is trying to get the technical design which made it sound like that... Absolutely gorgeous!

            I think each of the genuine one has a serial number, you can try checking with that.

            Also, leo vince slipon for ninja should start from 15k onwards for the alloy casing one,20K-25K for the stainless steel casing and 33k for carbon casing. These are international prices, But by the time this comes to india, they would be almost doubled or relatively more expensive. 20k retail price sounds dodgy to me, will be a fake one

              Oh, for the stock there is no point in spending that amount, you'd be better off with an akrapovic. For LeoVince you can contact Bachoo Motors and order the part online. The 10k one that you were shown might have been for any other bike, because it doesn't contain the bend pipe. This 20K carbon exhaust contains everything with makes it an easy replacement.

                Yes, ill try the Serial number. But the prices are not as you said, Yoshimura was officially available back when ninja is launched and costed Rs25000/- I checked Akrapovic from their own website and shipping a full system will cost me 38000 + tax at Port which is only 20 percentage.. Since it's a part. This is for full system and the costliest aftermarket exhaust... Everything else is cheaper and slip on actually comes around 20k to 30k for imported ones..

                  No, the 10k is for new slip on with bend pipe.. They will fit also.. Thats why I asked them again. But there are plenty of 1st quality replicas coming from Thailand for half the price.. Same finish, same weight etc.. Hard to find it as duplicate.. Something similar to the fake casio watches we get. So ill dig deeper into it let you know what's wat..

                    I think we are on same foot. those were for ninja 300, howeever for ninja 250 as well slip on from leo vince should come around 22k to 30k for staineless steel casing and carbon casing respectively. But remember these are international prices. so I doubt some one would sell at the same price

                    Also leo vince ships internationally , so it is better to buy from them

                      The one that I have is not sold in Europe. The exact name of the product is "Standard-mount GP Corsa racing slip-on-Carbon Fiber". If you check the LeoVince website, it's for the Asian market only. Which makes the price close to 20K. It is available on the official website with all details accept price and Bachoo Motors is an authorized dealer of LeoVince in India. So it's a safe bet.

                          Wanted to share some info guys. I had installed woodcraft clipons and preload adjusters for the front fork.

                          Then I have 2 track sessions, one before the clipons and adjusters, one after the parts. Here is the difference of rider position and front end feel.Click image for larger version

                          I was very easily able to post consistent lap times all close to 3:00:00 min. Although it takes a toll on your body, but I'm into fitness so I felt it after reaching home.

                          The people you see in 2:43:** are the ones with KTM RC390. I was able to come close to them, but passing them is like hell. I was never able to do that.

                            Hello friends,
                            New 2015 prices for spare parts arrived. It's becoming costlier now since govt have taken away the subsidies. Good thing is essential parts got cheaper like the clutch and accelerator cable which now costs only Rs 935/- brake and clutch lever on Rs 535/- brake pads on Rs 1400/- please make sure you take the zero depreciation insurance as other parts price got insane. Radiator gave me a shock at Rs 22000/- if it's with the cover, fan and other connections, it will take it to Rs 45000/- handle bar one side is Rs 4500/- front centre cowling is Rs 11000 and stay is Rs 12000/- will update more prices soon.

                              Anyone here knows what's the size of rear sprocket. Mine is a 2012 model. It has 43T and its stock. On the web I see the spec says 45T but mine is 43. The front is 14T. I'm actually thinking of playing with the gearing so wanted to know this.
