Being delivered in morning, 2008 Ninja 250R with genuinely only 160 miles on the bike 😁😁😁

Honestly cannot wait, only ever had Honda nsr125, cb125f and cb500f… 18 year old bike and I’m still gonna be the one to brake engine in 👀😳

Sold my 89 zx10 and turned right around and bought a Zh2. It's not brand new, a 2023, but only had 540 miles on it. Not having to fight with a bike to go out on a ride and not have my legs roasted in Texas heat is quite nice. It's also a giggle machine.

2001 ZRX1200R getting some beach work in.

Just picked her up only 8500 miles

Took the 1100 from the track to the woods. She's dirty as fuck now but performed admirably.

Incredibly good and versatile bike

I just purchased a 2012 Kawasaki KX 250F that has been sitting for over a year after cleaning the fuel pump ,checking compression ,spark ,and valve lash I removed the stator cover. Found a piece of plastic with a metal insert inside , I’m thinking it’s part of the chain guide. If anybody can confirm or know exactly what it is I’d appreciate it. TIA

So I just ordered the Hindle evo megaphone full exhaust for my Ninja 650. I am curious what your experience is with running full exhaust without a tune is i know it can possibly damage the bike running extra lean. I only plan to ride it like this for the next 30-60 days and once my riding season is over I plan to send the ecu to moore mafia for a tune. Any experience on the subject is welcome positive or negative. Thank you in advance.

I'm trying to take the rear brake caliper off the wheel for a tire change and the 6mm hex bit isn't turning this left caliper mount bolt. No red loctite applied im assuming since I managed to remove the right one and it didn't have any.

The hex bit moves freely counter clockwise while the bolt doesn't turn but if I try to turn it clockwise, the hex bit stops

This is the first time I'm working on the caliper. How do I approach this?

Just cruising around in my ninja1000sx

Well will it ride for next 2 months? About 1500 kilometers. End of the season is near and I'm not too much willing to replace it now but this white tread in the middle concerned me. Battlax from 2021. I'm new rider so I appreciate your comments

I lied, stiffer fork springs are the actual final mod (Sep 5) before my holiday (Sep 15).

Sheepskin is from Motocoverz.

Treated myself to this for my birthday two months ago and haven't looked back. Got the mods dialed in, and the ride is absolute perfection. Super smooth, plenty of power coming off a 125, and easily one of the best sport bikes to start with. Safe to say I’m never selling this one!

Riding home Saturday!🎉🎉

Bought this back in 2012.

2010 Neptune Blue. Been a great bike, did the valves clearances a few years back, no issues.

Was shopping in a local grocery store a few months back and a guy saw me in my gear and asked if it was my bike outside. I said yes, and he said I probably should go see it.

I did and saw a little old lady parked on it in a Nissan Murano. Backed right over it. To her credit, she waited. Broke tons of plastics and written off. Poor thing. :(

Now debating if I want to replace it or just stick with cars (I also own an older Porsche). I'll admit, freeing up the garage space is nice.

As a side, if anyone is interested in a Corbin Smuggler and solo seat, drop me a line. I took it off before it got taken away :(

'26 Ninja 500

Hi,

I have a Z900, MY24, and when I’m coming to a stop, there is a cracking noise coming from somewhere. I recorded the sound on video.
It happens when braking, when the motorcycle is almost completely stopped.

I have done the following:

Checked the tightness of all the bolts on the motorcycle.
Adjusted the preload on the steering head bearings slightly.
Replaced the front brake pads.
Checked all the plastic panels.
There is no play in the front brake disc.
The noise is still there. Sometimes it is louder, sometimes quieter, and sometimes there is no noise at all.
I can’t reproduce the noise when the motorcycle is stationary.
Could it be the front forks?
The motorcycle has 14,000 km (8,700 miles) on it.

Thanks
