Kawasaki Er6n

Performance is one thing - sound, another. That's a lot of money to pay in order to sound like a herd of flatulent puppies.

Says the guy riding a Tiger Boxer 250... Sounds like pipe envy to me...

Hello Tony,

Wot yer up to?

Know anywhere that sells black rear sprockets?

Will you be sat down long enough to write something

Keep those good times rolling

[Hili]

a general question about er6n. would you guys advise the ABS instead of nonABS? Sure ABS is always better but is it much difference?

A huge difference in my opinion.

Go for it.

Of course it is personal opinion but ABS is meant to improve safety by helping to reduce braking distance and skidding.

Some pics I took yesterday as Meancatdaddy and Nickymaster were at the dealer getting bits done. I mangaed to get another Pirrelli Rosso on for 6.5k. Next time I will order a sport touring tyre as this one will only last another 4k kilometers! I tried everywhere for the Battalax and others but alas, no luck and the thread was showing on my old Rossos. Arh.

Meancatdaddy got a Leo Vince underbody exhaust and it was unbelievably sweet sounding but wasn't as loud as Nickymaster's 250 Yoshi add on, on his Slime green er6n. see pics.

I didn't manage to get a pic on Meancatdaddy's Leo Vince because I was in awe of the thing when he first started it up. 23k for that. Kawasaki Pattaya now have loads of stock from Carbon Yoshis to Titanium Akrapovics @ 27k !

Me and Meancatdaddy both agree on the understated exhaust without being STUCK out the side of the bike.

Nice one Leo Vince - those Italians do know how to do things. Oh and btw good luck on your new 777k Ducati Nickymaster - can't wait to go for another ride with you on that thing hahaha.

Keep those good times rolling.

Hi there Norman,

Had a good laugh last saturday with you and Meancatdaddy.

We should have another ride soon

For my new bike I need to pay the DP this weekend

BTW my bike will be for sale if I can find a buyer otherwise I will keep it.

Don't know really why I bought another one really love the ER6

Cheerio!

Yeh we'll have to have a run out a bit further next week, I'll get my leather s on (will have to lose a few kilos first hahaha).

I'm waiting for my green chain and Leo Vince at the mo.

As soon as they come I will get them fitted, that way, I will be able to keep up with you and Meancatdaddy

Will give you guys a phone when I'm done.

I would keep your money and put a few more mods on your er6n if I were you.

Hiya Tony, yeh but I can't take that all day tuition bullshit which is aimed at beginners, they even told me they dont like the likes of you and me 'racing' round the track after all that tuition and lecturing.

After all, what is a race track for???????

What about you?

You still gonna go?

1000 baht max 30 people yeh?

I would love to get that Leo Vince on b4 then, I doubt it though.

What yer think?

[NormanW]

I might just arrive fashioanably late (after the horrible food bit) and do the ride round on my bike???

Meanwhile wait until the end of this video to see what they say about the er6n. :jap: :jap: :jap:

Actually, I believe SATURDAY is a regular track day / MiniGP and SUNDAY is a riding course similar to the one we did a few months back.

I'll double check with Kwackerzaki today and let you know.

Ride On!

Hi Allan,

When Norman and I attended the last Kawasaki Riding Course... well, hell, rather than re-write the story why don't I just link to my report on the last one:

[jahsoldier]

Is there any difference between the er6n and the 650R besides the plastic?

yo,

Paid the deposit for my new bike today. Delivery in June 2011

Anyone interested in my ER6n can PM me. I can sell with or without mods. I will put it in the classifieds next month but I am willing to sell from now on. 1 year old (Model 2010) and only 45xx km!! Will not be expensive!

Cheerio!

ps Norman I got up late and the race was over at 11.00 or so which made me decide to stay in BKK. Anyhow hope you had a good time @ Bira.

Is there any difference between the er6n and the 650R besides the plastic?

In 2009 ER6n came with not so good Dunlop tyres and no ABS

2010 upwards I believe they both come with Battlax tyres and ABS in LOS. Plastics and headlights different, reflected in higher price for Ninja 650R

[BigBikeBKK]

Green chain on and Leo Vince in place

Keep those good times rolling.

That new LeoVince looks fantastic and the one on your mate's bike sounded great! Did you see the pics of you over on the BIRA Track Day thread?

Lookin GOOD!

The lack of chicken strips on your tires proves you know what you're doing. I think that was what- only your 3rd time out at BIRA? If you can keep hitting it regularly and learn the lines your lap times will improve very quickly.

Actually in 2010 there seems to be a mix of tires. Some bikes are being delivered with Dunlops, some with Bridgestones. Insist on the Bridgestones- they are SO much better than the Dunlops!

Thanks Tony, yeh this Saturday is now a GO!

Great pics man.

I will look for those pics now. Meanwhile here's some more just taken at Meancatdaddy's place hehehe.

Meancatdaddy is going to BKK this week to get kitted out so he will join us at the Pirelli day

Kawasaki Mitiyon today showed me their pics of the training day yesterday and one thing that I noticed was that they were going round Bira the opposite to what we have always done. Hmmm, might even up our tyres if it is switched on Saturday???????????

They were running the BIRA backwards?! Counterclockwise?! That's cool and all if you're going slow BUT as I think about the track I don't think... no, in fact I KNOW that the runouts are NOT set up for people who might come off going counterclockwise...

It's all good until someone crashes at which point it'll get UGLY as they go bouncing off the retaining walls...

Yeh quite true mate, I can't think why they would go round that way, maybe to show how to go round a left hand bend hehehe.

Hey,

could somebody provide me with prices for front and rear sliders? The Kawasaki shop is quoting me 6,500bht for the front only!

Also looking for a little windshield. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Tony (BigBikeBKK) sells those cheaper than Kawasaki, I've always got mine from him. Perhaps send him a PM?

6.5k is ridiculous just for front and rear - phew!

As for those horrible screens (my opinion sorry hehe) my mate paid 6k from Kawasaki but obviously cheaper elsewhere.

There are loads of sites around selling these, just one thing, be prepared to witness differing quality

Why not post some pics once you are done?

Keep those good times rolling.

Great, PM'd him.

Thanks a lot, Norman.
