Thankyou all for the fast reply, lots of info there...i`m up in issan so i will have to get down to the smoke for a look, i dont want took risk ordering by post for clothes...great..

btw....Dave the Dude, whats up with our forum up here, it`s up again but not taking my user name and password?

a the builder hasn`t fixed it..lol...thx

A couple more pics of the 2010 Kawasaki Ninja 650R with Arrow exhaust-

As mentioned earlier the lower fairing does touch the exhaust-

I've seen some people trim the fairing, but I don't think it will be necessary and will leave it as is. No vibration and doesn't seem like the can is going to melt the fairing.

Ride On!

Tony

Tony, just get your shifting spanner on the bottom fairing bracket and bend it out a little, thats what i did for my scorpion, you will find it doesn`t need much and the fairing still doesn`t come in to contact with the brake pedal....HD...... LTGTR

Can anyone give me details on the best shop for motorcycle gear here in Los, looking for an outfit for my girl friend, and yes small sizes needed, eg. she is only 39-40 kilos, 5`1" tall and has a waist of 24-26", 28" chest in think, and lastly 27" inside leg......cool leather would be nice, but not essential..and not overly exspensive ..thanks for any help

if you didn`t use your original seat, how much was the spare?

Hi HD,

Just found the receipt for the new OEM seat (Kawasaki Part # 53066-0205-MA). Price with tax is 1309.68 Baht

I bet the screen is even cheaper.

Happy Trails!

Tony

Thanks Tony, for the prices..

Your sure gona give that butt a testing out when you hit the Gp, Stoner rode a blinder on sunday huh!

Zr6, well i still think they are grossly overpriced and cant really justify that here yet....My choice would be a GSX R 1000, i`ve rode a few bikes here, r1, gsxr 1000x2, honda cbr 1000, r6, etc....and by far the best bike is the gsx r...so much grunt low down.....my number 1 bike, that grey/black one in red barron is pure class, but again huge prices......LTGTR

I don't know about the rest of you but I don't find the stock seat on the ER6n and Ninja 650R very comfortable for long rides. So today I went and had a custom seat made!

I took a picture of the Bagster seat I really like to a local bike shop that specializes in custom seats and they went straight to work.

Here's the Bagster seat:

I was more after the shape of the bagster than the look, and I'm quite happy with the results.

Gotta love Thai bike shops! ;D

This guy has mad skills!

He used the most basic tools- a saw blade for cutting, a home made "cheese grater" looking thing for smoothing, and a roll of coarse sandpaper for fine tuning.

Gotta respect a guy who can come up with home made tools like this-

He even knows how to sew!

Final product:

Took about an hour and cost 400 Baht!

Ride On!

Tony

Looks good Tony,

Did he change all the foam or only bolster up the back of the drivers seat, how do you know that it will be more comfortable, and if you didn`t use your original seat, how much was the spare?

I thought you had the woodcraft rear sets? I wanted to see them mounted..or are they coming soon?......HD LTGTR

Oh, btw...havn`t asked my dealer yet, but do you know how much for a screen?

I fancy trying out a little cutting like i did on my puig on my other bike.....ta

Hi All,

I recently picked up my Ninja 650 but Kawasaki only had the Thai version of the manual, did anyone managed to get an English manual?

Hope to hear.

Will be here soon, keep pushing your dealer...like i am

If and when you get the pcv+auto tune, the usa ones dont come with the 02 sensor eliminator, the european ones do, so if the cost of the usa pcv`s are so much cheaper go with them and i`ll post the info on the resistor mod that i fitted to enable the auto tune to work as it should.

Cheers HD,

I'm not sure I understand... I thought the Autotune includes a wide band O2 sensor that needs to be plugged into the exhaust port so that it can monitor the fuel mixture and send that information to the PCV.

If you eliminate the O2 sensor how does the Autotune monitor the fuel mixture?

Thanks for any clarification you can provide!

Happy Trails!

Tony

If the pcv is used on its own, no changes are made to the standard 02 sensor on the bike, and the pcv connectors just plug inline with the injectors and tps (throttle sensor positioner, for the throttle map stages)...and then the pvc just over writes the stock map in the ecu, it is certanly better than using the stock map as you can program in custom maps for various set ups, eg..k & n plus slip on etc..which i`m sure you are aware of...but the only down side is there isn`t maps for all slipons etc and arrow, and my scorpion dont have dynotune maps for the pcv on the 2010 bikes,,,,so to get the best out of it you need a visit to the dynotune boys or tuners to get it dyno`d and the the map will be spot on, or near spot on..but costly, oh and most carbon cans (slipons) cant be dyno`d as the slipon overheats as no cooling..so if you fit a carbon can and get it dyno`d beware!

or you can maybe get a map from the pc3 for the arrow and convert it for the pcv (different file extensions, but if you load the old pc3 program in your computer and the map you can cut and paste the values into the pcv program and use that as your map) but again not ideal for getting the most out of your bike....

So here steps in the Autotune,

the pcv is connected as before, and then the autotune module is connected to the pcv and yes it monitors and adjusts your fuel tables as you ride, pretty good if you ask me, as it can detect if you are running rich or lean in real time, good for us here with the benzene variables around..and after you ride you can recall the air/fuel adjustments from the autotune trim tables and write them into to your base map, so therefore improving your map all the time..

The autotune has its OWN 02 sensor, so you have to remove the standard one , so therfore the plug for the standard sensor is not connected to anything, and the ecu reports this as a FI fault and the light on the dash stays on all the time , all the 02 sensor eliminator does is it removes the FI warning light, it doesn`t affect the map in any way if the light stays on as your pcv over writes the stock ecu map as i stated before, but the difference is..to get that light out is, $30 for the eliminator from dynotune or 5 baht for a resistor from the local tv repair shop..

So after that long winded story, (sorry), i think the auto tune is a MUST have with the pcv, and dont worry the standard ecu map stays in the ecu if and when you remove the pcv, but you wont want to as it really does remove flat spots and makes the bike come alive with a slipon, which does weaken your mixture to much..

I mentioned before about the euro and usa autotunes, the usa doesn`t have the same issue as the euro bikes, (which ours is ), the emmision system is not the same so therefore the usa ones dont come with the eliminator...hence the resistor...

The whole kit took me and my girlfriend about 2 hours to fit but i took my time...and when i was under the tank i plugged the pair valve, which you must do as the gusts of extra air from it knocks the autonetune sensor off tune...as for pops, i only get the odd one on hard revs then quick shut downs..if you know what i mean.....

Also, i didn`t want my scorpion too loud so i fitted the db killer in it, but as others have noted it does mellow after 2-3000k, so all i need do is take it out drill some more holes in it, and let the autotune re-adjust the mixtures to suit.....perfect, by the way, scorpion has a life time warranty and doesn`t require re-packing, and is so well made...as you will have seen on the other boards, the 2bros is getting a kicking for rivits failing and the can splitting...WOW

Another usefull thing with the pcv, is that you can add a normal on/off switch on the bars and switch between 2 maps as you ride, say one for touring and good mpg, and one for sport riding etc...

But if you use a switch with the autotune connected it switches the auto tune on or off, so you can just lean out your cruising cells in the base map, for better mpg, and switch on autotune if you want for the twisties.........

I think the pcv+autune is way better than just the fuel enricher modules, as it works by monitoring and adjusting all mixtures for all throttle positions, not just a blanket give it more juice across the the range module...cool

HD...LTGTR tony

Just added some sport bars, but haven't had a chance to get our for a real ride yet to get a feel for the changes.

Here's stock bars:

And sport bars:

(Unfortunately I got one of the sets with the misdrilled throttle-side bar so I'm going to go have it re-drilled on Monday)

As you can see, the sport bars are a good 2-3 inches lower than stock which will make for a more aggressive riding position. I find the stock bars too tall for my liking.

After this the only other thing I'd really like to add is a Powercommander PCV and Autotune.

Ride On!

Tony

Oh dear Tony, sorry to hear they gave you the missdrilled tubes, If you do drill that correct lengh hole, i would make sure it`s drilled opposite to the original hole, eg. 180 degrees as to try and maintain the maximum strength of that bar...you dont need a snap on a low sider, god forbid....

If and when you get the pcv+auto tune, the usa ones dont come with the 02 sensor eliminator, the european ones do, so if the cost of the usa pcv`s are so much cheaper go with them and i`ll post the info on the resistor mod that i fitted to enable the auto tune to work as it should, oh and the TRUE NO CUT SLIDERS are out now on ducati ohmaha site, not cheap but look the bizzz....so one more thing for your to get list...HD.... LTGTR

Well then Tony, did you get your bars too, and r they ok for holes or did they give you a set with the two holes on the throttle side, as they were taping over the wrong hole and just pushing them out the door..

Does the arrow come with a o2 threaded stub like my scorpion or do you have to weld one on like your previous 2bros ?, for the dynotune autotune... i will hear the clips later when my internet speeds up a little bit..HD

Hi HD!

Yes- the sport bars have arrived!

Holes appear to be where they're supposed to be!

Will try to get them installed this evening and will post pics once they're on.

Yes- the Arrow pipes come with the bung for the O2 sensor:

Happy Trails!

Tony

Great Tony,

the bars look like they are correct....easy to fit, just dont fully split the controls on the the throttle side, split and take off the clutch side first and that will give you enough play to slide the throttle side off the original bars (with the bars unbolted)without spliting that side, watch when you first turn the steering you dont bump the tank, as you will have to turn both controls on the bars to acheive best clearance..oh and my levers just lightly touch the stock screen on full lock, but only slightly, OH and i used lock tight on the allen bolts, but you`ll know that anyway..

I see the O2 bung on the closeups...u got to get a pcv now, it does make a sweet improvement..mine is nearly dialed in now as i accept the trims daily, and every ride the autotune values are slowing down....HD

Get some!

.. thats the building, but forget it, I phoned the guy, he hasn't got a head gasket, and he doubt's you'll get one in Korat either.

Your options are as I see it - a trip down to Bkk, and then a drive around the tractor dealers out by the old international airport, or you make one yourself (using the old one as a template), or I send you one, or I bring one back with me on Wednesday night and stick it into the post as I drive through Korat.

You have a pm

Hi, i`m needing some parts for a hinomoto C172 tractor, namely oil filter, fuel filter cylinder head gasket and piston rings...

Does anyone know of a dealer/parts supplier in Korat or Surin area....regards

I have all those parts in stock - pm me with a digital pic of the tractor and the parts, along with your address and I'll get them into the post for you as soon as I get back home next week.

Thankyou, if i`m stuck i`ll give you a shout, but i`ve been told there are spares in korat, just need them rather quickly, and off to korat tomorrow on other business,....any idea`s on the where abouts of dealers...thx

Just download it on a torrent (ver 9 out now) and stick on a sd card of your own.....

Girl friend and i out for a drink (coke for me) 2 nights ago, we get on the bike to head home...shortly after she starts tugging me, i pull over to find her dumping a frog onto the soi from her fullface helmet...i had to laugh ...mia sanook she was

At the last riding course I asked the Kawa guy. Expected around November, price around 500000THB. The Kawa guy thought it to be expensive, since you can get the zx10 for around 650000THB. I think the ZX6 would be a better bike for most for the circuit (that's where you should drive it!) The ZX10 is abit too much for me to go to after my KSR!

Awesome! So, someone else has also heard this news- I'm guessing from Khun Channarong? He usually seems to know what's going on. Man I hope it's true!!! 500,000 is a steal for a ZX6R in Thailand! Let the Good Times ROLL!

Thats nearly £10,000 ukp tony, you must be minted....

I got stopped at LHR security because I had bike parts and spanners in my carry on luggage. Once I went back downstairs and checked in my hand luggage as hold luggage all was OK. Apparently they thought I might brain the pilot with a high lift camshaft or something!

Tip: This actually saved me a shedload of excess baggage charge as my main bag had already been checked through and they didn't add the 11 kilos of hand luggage to what was already on my allowance. Maybe worth considering if you are going to be overweight?

Cheers,

Pikey.

Now pikey that is a good idea.......i`ll` try and remember that thanks

Recommend you carry a small pocket tire repair kit like this:

It's got it all you need to fix tubeless tires. Tools to get the object out, brimmer and all, plus the goey sticks that they use for plugging tires in the repair shops anyway, and CO2 bottles with adapter to inflate the tire, fits under the seat and can come in very handy if you get a puncture in the middle of nowhere.

Ride On!

Tony

Do you push the plugs in from the outside after drilling the hole?

Where can you get these?

Hi Baz,

You can get 'em on the secret site that we're not allowed to mention on ThaiVisa

Ride On!

T

Had a look on ss, and couldn`t see them....where? T

Seen them all over the net, but want to compare prices..

Tony, is that your green with the gp pro on it, looks loud...is there an issue with the rear foot peg..or only for photo purposes...HD

Hi Husskydog,

No- that's not mine- I've got an Arrow on the way- should finally be here next week- feel like I've been waiting FOREVER! Sport bars are coming too- I still haven't asked my friend to measure them to see if they have the same 'defect' as the ones you ordered... I need to get on that ASAP!

Happy Trails!

Tony

There seems to numerious guys now having issues on the other board, the last guy even got tubes with electical tape over the missdrilled hole..?? as his throttle side tube had 2 holes in it...tut tut...if thats the case, i dont know if you saw my post re..the pcv+autotune , sorry, you`ll need to get one the auto tune is pretty hot..

Tony, is that your green with the gp pro on it, looks loud...is there an issue with the rear foot peg..or only for photo purposes...HD

Its starting to hit surin NOW, big bbig wind and rain....00.12am off to get shower before power goes..and baton down the hatches..wow

Just fitted the dynotune PCV + Autotune on my ninja 2010 650r, having great fun playing with the maps out there, within sensible limits..

I enjoy looking at the afr trim tables after i ride, you can really see where the autotune earns its bucks...and watching it work in realtime when on the padock stand is sweet (my own little rolling road) to a point..

As for the performance, well when i got the bike new and standard, i got the feeling of it leaning out too much at steady throttle closed looping, but after the scorpion and pcv+autotune it really does smooth the bike out through the range...

Didn`t have a O2 elimninator plug in the kit, so dug around on the other forums and did the same as others, fitted my own resistor to the redundant Stock O2 plug/harness...

Oh, and sorry tony for beating you to it...it was a cracking price, have you got your sb`s yet ? i see a couple of guys having fitting issues with their new bars on the other forum...maybe they were unlucky and got the miss drilled ones that slipped the net...HD

Oh, one more thought i forgot to mention, i`m hoping once my current map settles down, and i accept the trims from autotune into the map, thereafter the autotune should cope with the varying quality of 91 benzene from the various pumps, one thing it should show is if any pumps are watering down their benzene, as many i believe do and there after i can avoid them....just a thought..HD

Is there any easy way to adjust the high-beam down toward the road? I tried it last night and it is set way too high.

Just sit on the bike, at night, facing your wall 20 or so feet away use a torch to look behind the fairing while moving your bars left and right and you will see both thumb screw adjusters for hi and low on both sides, they are marked telling you which way to turn them for left or right and up and down aiming....from memory if you want to lower your beams, turn the up/down screws clockwise...........
