walker600 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 There's a shop opposite Keehin near Central called Teera Motorcycle (http://www.tpmotorcycle.com/) that can source exhausts etc... for you, they're not cheap tho! Also http://www.apshop-racing.com/ mail order from BKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also http://www.apshop-racing.com/ mail order from BKK I prefere to stay away from Teera, never tried to google them but with all he negative posts about them and the extreme prices............... Op choose your bike first, CB250 and Ninja250 different suppliers Then find the parts you want, not likely in Phuket even at double price Then there are several small shops can do a decent job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny999 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I am sure this is the 2012 bike as it is different in a few places from my ER6n of last year, the exhaust is slightly different too. just found out Akrapovic system for this bike is 36,000 bht. yes 250,000 bht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akropovic price depends on who you ask, I think I can get it for approx 25k baht on the 2012, incl installation. Let me know if you want it, as it takes a few weeks to get it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker600 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The main difference with the exhaust is that new 2012 model has a one piece system so you can't just buy a slip on, you need the headers/mid section as well...... bumps the price up... Looks much better than the 2011 IMHO, mine arrives next week :) Did they throw in a free helmet/jacket for you??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny999 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yes free decent helmet and jacket, as for the Akaprovic I have looked at the figures and you only get 3 bhp gain so spending 36,000 bht is just not worth it!! the 2012 bike looks much better, mine is white and black looks great.

I might have to try and tap them up for some freebies when I go in the collect the bike and make the balance payment..... They always seem to act as tho i'm inconveniencing them when I pop in there.....(even with a bag full of cash!! 555) when I went in there to buy/order the bike they even seemed to want to send me away, i've never had such difficulty giving a local money before! I have mine booked into the body shop the day after arrival as well, I wanted a bit more colour than just black or white Can't wait!! Let the good time roll!

kenny999 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have the graphics sorted out for mine, and you will be very very lucky to get anything out of Kawasaki other than the 2 freebies but good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker600 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 So are you saying that they offer the Helmet + Jacket as standard? They didn't mention this to me before, im sure if I don't say anything they'll happily keep them..? What graphics are you getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny999 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 My gf asked them "what freebies do we get" answer, "helmet and jacket" I have already got my Monster energy tank pad 1/3rd of the Kawasaki price, will have the same on the small front fairing's, ordered my digital gear indicator as I can never remember what gear I am in which is very annoying(5,500 coming from Bangkok) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny999 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 The helmet is very good in mat black so monster energy graphics will be going on there too, also will put the stainless steel radiator guard on it looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny999 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 This is the gear indicator, not the same make as the one I have ordered but identical in looks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker600 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Sounds like it will be looking great, get some pics up when you have it sorted, i'll have to take my other half with me when I go back in a few days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plug and play installed by Kawasaki Phuket, total 25k baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny999 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 The free helmet I was showed was of good quality and looked great in Mat black and it will certainly safe your life, as far as I am aware the akrapovic for the 2011 bike is 25k as it is the slip on, for the 2012 bike it is 36,000 as it is the full system, the gear indicator price wise is similar to the UK.

kenny999 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Does the Akrapovic system come with a cat or do they do away with it? I think I will get the system as I am a sucker for modding everything I buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny999 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Did you get the two brothers exhaust here in Thailand? is it the full system? is it a similar price to the Akaprovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker600 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Yea I got it from Teera Motorcycle opposite Keehin, price was ฿36,000, they wanted more but I said I had found the arrow full system for that and unless they matched it I would buy from somewhere else, still v.expensive tho. Actually what they have done is supplied headers & mid section made by Arrow and then added the Two Brothers Slip On - TBH this suits me fine because I like Arrow but didn't like the look of their ER6n exhaust tip. It took them about 4 days to get the bits sent down from BKK I'd also like to point out I didn't buy the system because i'm chasing any kind of power gain, just because I think the engine of the ER6N sounds terrible and I nearly didn't buy the bike because of it, but value for money the Kawasaki seems impossible to beat, hopefully this will put my only concern about this bike to bed Edited February 11, 2012 by walker600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get a db killer for the 2 bros? still very loud with it in place, but at least they dont wake up in the next village at 3am as for color, a ninja must be kwaker green as everyone know the green bikes are the fastest, just kidding I v had Ninjas in plasma blue, diablo black, white pearl and presently kwaker green, and black is dull swapping color today, I think I d go true red/ flame red/ ducati red/ferrari red, matching my GF car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
