Have you done it on a ninja 250? I know its not that complicated thats why I started.... I've done it on another bike I can't get to the clamp screws that hold the carburetor to the engine and the air box respectively. There is very little room.

Abs will take a longer distance to stop than not. If you choose to ride with abs, great, especially in an emergency when you react fast and pull in the brake to quick. But in my opinion, you should learn how to stop without it in the event you have to because the system fails or you lock the...

:agave: Thanks for the info on CAA guys.

I take it you're on a first name basis with those folks down there? Just a question I'm asking, no need to be condescending. It's maybe an hours of labor, i'm trying to avoid a 200 dollar tow or 50 dollar trailer rental. Most shops will sit there and tell you its a 2 or 3 hour minimum. Does...

Both guys don't do house calls anymore. Any other suggestions?

Thank you, pm's sent

I seem to have bitten of more than I can chew trying to re-jet the carbs on my 2011 ninja 250. I got the tank off but I cant get my fat hands into the frame to loosen up the clamps so I can pull the carbs... Does any one know any mobile mechanics? or does anyone who's done this before feel...

it kills me how often i'm riding around the city and i catch a wiff of the green long before i see it. i started a similar thread a few months back. pick ups, sports sedans (predominatley bmws) and beat up ricers with fart cans are the worst culprits. i usually get and receive nice ride nods...

I'll be there for my first trackday as well. bringing up naked ninja250r and a black with blue accent zx6e.

soo much ignorance in this post....

Last i checked, they weren't sure if he lost control and hit the car or vice versa. sad but speculation at best. i started a thread with a few more extreme examples, sucks. Don't drvie with cars around, look for gaps between packs of trafic, speed up or slow down to find them. It doesn't...

for future reference, princes auto sells a plug and play electronic flasher for 10 bucks.

op check the insurance rates on a 250 ninja vs a 300. if they are the same, and you plan on buying new ( i would recommend this since you don't know what to look for in a used bike) take the 300, FI is idiot proof on cold mornings. That being said the only thing the 250 won't do is straight...

last season i even had a guy intentionally cut me off because his girl was miring my bike. he starts talking smack at a red light, i tell him to fly a kite..... and he then gets out wielding a tire iron. as much as i wanted to hurt him i drove off instead. you're right i shouldn't take these...

to be honest, i like the 250 its fun, can't break 150 kph and catch a 50 over license suspension unless i'm on a downhill with a tailwind, but with crap like this happening i'm very tempted to build a turbo busa and ride with a Louisville slugger strapped to my back.
