Hey, first post :) My wife just upgraded from a Ninja 250 to a 650R and wants to make a few mods to improve safety. Primarily she wants to add a headlight modulator to the bike. I have a Diamond Star on my Hayabusa and I think that influenced her decision. She'd like to know if there's a...

I recently completed a 1000 mile IBA ride on my Vulcan 1600....I ran accross this link of a cat who did one on a Ninja 250, here, bounce to this: Christmas Break SaddleSore 1000 on a Kawasaki Ninja 250R (http://www.theyeagergroup.com/ninja_250_ss1000.htm)

Now I've been doing a lot of research on this topic, and I cannot find one difference between the 06 and 07 Ninja 500R? Is there any, and if not why would they even bother releasing an 07 model without even the slightest bit of change? I mean add a cup holder or something haha. I'm still new to...

I got to spend Friday afternoon out at Motorsport Ranch watching Loan Star Track Days (LSTD) do their thing. I didn't ride, I went out to work a corner so I could check out MSR and see how LSTD did things. Overall I'm really impressed with both. MSR is a really nice facility and the houses...

I had my 500, for a bit more than a year, and it came with some stock Rims, and some Metzler(front), and Michellens on the back, Can't remmember the size but it looks a bit to skinny for me. When you start to lean on the corners, I start to fell the tire is not getting enough grip on the side...

Hey, quick question for you guys, has anyone noticed that when starting the bike the highbeam bulb/highbeam itself flickers? I wired my HIDs up so that it ONLY turns on with highbeams on so that the ballast only sees a constant voltage instead of a varying one that could kill it. But i was...

I just put a new hotbodies exhaust on my bike, with the undertail kit. It doesnt have a spot to put the butterfly valve cables back on. So now it keeps the FI light on at all times. If I get a power commander, will that turn it off? I know I need to get one anyway. But I ready in earlyer forums...

How is it Rollin' everyone? Well, Its my first 1000, on my 89 EX, and it's a blast. By living in Seattle WA, you can't get away from that RAIN, so probably 3-400mi of it was in the rain. I gotta tell you, with all the crap I had to put up with local cagers, we wount mention which ones, I had a...

I Have Just Purchased A 1983 Kawasaki 750 Spectre With 17k On It. When I First Start The Bike It Will Start Right Up With The Choke But Will Not Idle Without Constantly Playing With The Choke. If I Try And Use The Throttle It Will Immediatly Go To About 4000rpm And Stay There Until I Back Off The...

I am going to take the MSF course soon but I was wondering how do you go about finding all the courses listed in your area, where does MSF have those listed?

Oh yeah :biggrin: For now I'll post the links to the soundbites. If someone explains to me how to erase the license plate in ms paint I'll also post up some pics :biggrin: Don't bother with the video itself, just listen :smile: Stock can soundbite...

I am considering buying a Honda 750 shadow for my son to learn on. He has a little experience on a kawasaki kz400, but not much. Any one have any experience with these? love them, Hate them? I'd go with a 900, but it's a little more than I want to spend.

I don't ride my to hard and...

I was looking at one of these bikes considering buying it and was wondering if those plastic pipes coming out of the top of the gas tank actually do anything and if they do what is it that they do?
