2010 Kawasaki Ninja 650r Abs

[BigBikeBKK]

I am soon going abroad and will not be using my 650R for 3-4 weeks. What should I do to keep the bike perfect condition? Full gasoline tank? or no gasoline? etc

as Tony says, full gasoline, no gasohol. pump up the tyres to 45 psi and side stand works fine

if you cant park it indoors, you can park in my garage

battery no need disconnection for only 4 weeks on a newish bike

Isnt 45 psi way too much? Normal is 32 and 36..

Thanks for the offer, but I think I will be able to store the bike in my bedroom;)

To avoid squared tyres, manufactorers of bikes and cars pump up the tyres to storage pressure when leaving factory, usually 45 psi. Sometimes a bike or car can be parked for months before sold. Max pressure your tyres can handle can be read on the side of the tyres

First look 2012 Ninja 650R.

More torque, better suspension, stepped seat.

[snowflake]

Not to bother too much here, but will they change the versys and the er6n also? When will they start selling them?

2010 Ninja650R came to the shops August 2009, so expect August

[snowflake]

Good- my september versys is still on then...

[ScubaBuddha]

I admit I photo-shopped a 250R tail on that pic above. But I did read from a reliable source the 2012 650R will have a stepped seat, more power and improved suspension. Maybe it will look like this:

Got this tank bag from our sponsor Sumetcycle. At less than 1.100 baht including EMS to my door, I consider it a bargain. Magnet holds it up to 150kmh, couldnt try faster today. Small pockets, large pocket, clear plastic GPS pocket, well padded to protect tank. Can be used as a small backpack when not on bike. Comes with a raincote

As it is badged Honda and covers my kwaker stickers, I now have a Honda Ninja650R

Lolz- guess that means you can sneak in on the Honda rides. But go easy on the throttle so they can keep up!

[hehehoho]

btw there's a N650R on bahtsold for 180k.

Warranty until Dec 2011.

Phuket.

The only trouble.... it's the plasma blue model.

Good price though.

[ScubaBuddha]

Also a new green one in Patts for 230k with sport bars and can. 500km.

[hehehoho]

Gotta love that depreciation!

[skybluestu]

I recently bought a white Ninja which also came with the original green fairing which I don't want so if anyone fancies changing the colour of their Ninja or has a green one that needs some fairing replaced please PM me with your offer, I'll sell it as a whole kit to the highest bidder regardless of amount.

[katabeachbum]

fuel tank included?

kwaker green or metallic green?

kwaker green or metallic green?

Yes, fuel tank included. Not sure which green it is but whatever was sold here in 2010, looks like the green in this link http://www.kawasaki.co.uk/product.asp?Id=340D7270EE0

[skybluestu]

Noticed last night that one of my headlight bulbs has gone, am I right in thinking that any 55W H7 bulb will fit? I want brighter than stock but don't want HID, any Osram dealers in Thailand? Have found somewhere with free worldwide shipping if not.

Noticed last night that one of my headlight bulbs has gone, am I right in thinking that any 55W H7 bulb will fit? I want brighter than stock but don't want HID, any Osram dealers in Thailand? Have found somewhere with free worldwide shipping if not.

yep, any H7 55/60

Osram, Home Works

want brighter? first step is to upgrade the super thin wires. presently only 12,7Volt on bulb, while 13,8-14,4V on battery. 2,5mm2 wires from battery to bulb controlled by existing wires and relay. 150 baht

First fix I do on any halogen light vehicle I purchase

the small reflectors can not handle larger watt lightbulbs. They melt

tricky one as 2010 model was metallic green (15P) and 2011, sold from august 2010, is kawasaki green (777), non metallic.

Thanks. I read on some other bike forums that these fit the Ninja 650 and are much brighter than stock but no messing with any wires required so will try these out http://www.osram.com/osram_com/Consumer/Automotive_Lighting/Products/Headlights/SILVERSTAR/index.html

The kit I have is the 15P metallic lime green. Best offer so far is 2000baht, if nowt else in 2-3 days then someone will get a bargain!

One of the best, and as said i v seen them in Home Works. Piaa also excellent

still an additional 50% by installing more wires and no cutting of existing wires, so back to stock at any time
