Got a GS911 coming in May though just for servicing

Why are you not doing this yourself?

I hate working on cars but no one else touches my bikes.

Could the Ninja 400 flashed be dangerously close to beating the allmighty NSR250 in stock trim?

Good morning.

What's up
Any rides planned for this week? Supposed to warm up a lot tomorrow in the south east US

The concept of a machine using hundreds of parts to burn dinosaur fossils just to move a chain/belt/shaft boggles my mind...

Why couldn't they just design engines around water or something? Why use something so specific and limited?

You should get nicer bars on the 919, they make a big difference. Also ditch the underglow, it looks goofy

>>Give 44 hp limit by software to get at the top of A2 sales

>still sell it limited in the US

Fuck euro spec shit. I'm sick of bikes being sold here being choked and uglified to satisfy rules that don't apply.

I'm probably more pissed at the tail pieces. Bikes used to have simplistic rear ends but now they have plastic shit sticking out 2 feet that require immediate removal. That's just shipping around trash and creating more junk for the landfill.

The US has strict emissions standards too

How fucked am I guys?
This is my right fork on my vfr 400 that I'm looking to sell, the thread has snapped off and it stuck in the cap, is there an easy fix for this? Or a fix at all? I don't want to screw someone over by selling them a dud bike but i can't exactly afford to buy new forks

Attached: IMG_20180327_181659.jpg (2976x3968, 1.98M)

?

Is carefully drilling it out and then tipping out the fragments an option?

sell it as is and be upfront with the issue, someone competent would surely be able to get around that for very little money

Could do but then I'm just left with a slightly cleaner hole in my forks?

Nope. The only Harleys reliable enough to be considered for beginners and still be quality is the sportster line.

We've got some cruiser and scoot bros too!
Now post boipucci

What part of nc?

how good is the ninja250r for a noobie who only tried a scooter once or twice?

Save a lil more and get a scout60

easy peasy

its when you take it to the canyon where it gets harder

No

The tail pieces and horsepower restrictions aren't for emissions. A bike like the ninja 400 exists entirely because of graded licensing, which doesn't exist here. It's under 400cc so it's not large displacement for asian markets, and the engine is detuned to make it an A2 bike in europe. The ugly tail pieces bikes pretty much all have now is because the EU mandates their huge ugly license plate be entirely behind the rear wheel.

None of this matters in the US. You need the same license to ride a 125 scooter as you need to ride a hayabusa and some bikes have side mounted plates as stock.

A bike like the ninja 400 is only bought in America because it''s cheaper than something that's actually fast, not because you haven't done the half dozen tests required to qualify for the correct license.

I want you to get a matching backseat

Fuck you guys i'm gonna go slow and enjoy the view

I'd say that it's extremely good for noobs.

Some might consider it the quintessential beginner bike. You'd be hard pressed to find a lot of riders that didn't start out on the Ninja 250 or something equivalent to it like the Honda VTR250 or the like.
It's very forgiving in terms of handling, extremely light weight, and short enough to where you can feel easily confident on it.
Mind you though a lot of people will try to put you down off of it or disparage it by referring to it as a "glorified scooter."

I started out on much larger bikes and somehow worked my way down to the Ninja 250... Surprisingly I've had more fun on such a little bike than I did with all the past ones I've owned.

Thaaaats... The Scrader valve? You (or the buyer) just need a new/old cap from Ebay or the junkyard. OR it will come out with an "easy out"

That shouldn't be too bad to deal with, or you can let the buyer deal with it. Just be up front, like user said.

Who doesn't like ICE? I can't wait to tell my grandkids that I used to be propelled around on a two wheeled vehicle powered by hundreds of explosions a minute.

No gopro.

They try to make them look so fast and badass. Fucking shitty little things. They sound like shit

How about changing out the end cap alone?
PN should be 51450ML0721

If you can't source it anywhere, screw off the cap, bring it to a machinist and ask him to drill it out and tap a thread for universal schrader valve like this one ( riffraffdiesel.com/replacement-schrader-valve-fuel-injection-rated-1-8-npt/ ). Screw it in with some sealant and youre good to go.
