JonnyF Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm actually not too sure of the warranty tbh. Last time I took the service book out I think it said 30,000km on it. Never had a need to inquire. God, I hope it doesn't melt now, you've got me worried. Actually the Honda warranty is 5 years or 50,000 km for the engine Honda, what a great company. Much better than the competition. Hopefully Kawa will be able to improve the durability of the rattley ninjette and offer a competitive warranty period. Word is the 2013 ninjette will have a stone sundial for a clock. Let's hope it's solidly constructed. Rattley? You got a new spamming contract hehehoho? Why the change of username?

BigBikeBKK Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 And good news on the 2013 ninjette's new fuel gauge option. It will hook on along the seat. What kind of moron needs a fuel gauge on a motorcycle?! Next you'll be asking for a gear indicator because you're not smart enough to remember what gear you're in.

The same kind of moron that scrapes a living from spamming the interweb I guess We had this debate with him before and he ended up admitting that the fuel gauge on the CBR was next to useless and he counts down the kilometres from the odometer same as he would on the plethora of bikes that don't have a fuel gauge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strollling Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Fuel gauges are useless. Your bitterness is really quite hilarious. You better tell US Kawa to remove their one from the US ninjette, perhaps it would even reduce it's overweight (porky?) numbers by a fraction.

Actually just a bit bored at work waiting for 5pm to roll around and I thought I'd throw you a bone Then off for a ride to Rayong on my gauge-less Gixxer tomorrow.

BigBikeBKK Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Holy crap I just realized I don't have a fuel gauge on my KLX! OMG what am I to do?! I know I can go at least 120km on a tank and I guess I could take a look at my odometer every time I fill the tank, but it's just so much HASSLE to keep track of such big numbers! Woe is me I guess I'd better sell the bike and take a bus. <deleted> me just noticed the Gixxer ain't got a fuel gauge either! What the hell is going on?! How could Suzuki have forgotten to put a fuel gauge on one of the greatest superbikes ever built?! How is it possible I've ridden this bike to Malaysia and back and never run out of gas?! Is it just luck, or could it be something else ??? sTROLLing, new name, same modus operandi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMX Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 A. Do any of the above mentioned bikes without fuel gauges not have a reserve? B. I've found that gauges, while each as its own peculiarities, can deliver information after I've filled it a bunch of times. For example, if it says half full and half empty, but 60% of my fuel is gone, that will be close to the case all the time with that bike. And empty (last bar, or top of the red) will mean that I have just so much left - close to it - most of the time. At least, my scooter at the top of the red always fills to the top with exactly the amount of the tank's capacity, minus one liter (promising me 40kms left at the top of red, in my case). No??

Wow, sure the bike is 250g lighter without it. Pushes the power/weight ratio to the ultimate What a stupid post. When each 'bar' on the gauge represents about 50 kms range, unless you know the range of each bar and keep an eye on the odo and record when the bar drops then thats as accuate as you're gonna get in terms of knowing your range. Far less accurate than just using the odometer. So pretty much useless unless you can't do 3 digit subtraction, or you're the type of guy that buys a Tiger (although somehow i doubt those two things are mutually exclusive). On a race bike of course its totally useless, you ever see Stoner stop for gas because he's down to 2 bars? Back when i raced MX (just local level) i'd have been laughed off the pits if i'd had a fuel gauge on the bike, and rightly so. According to your theory, I guess that makes anyone who races a 'wannabe racer'!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topic is the CBR. But i wouldn't consider the Ninjette a "race bike" either. In one thing you are right: Buying a Tiger Boxer 250 was a big mistake. I promise to never do it again. Wake up, in future every fridge will tell you when you are running out of milk. A fuel gauge is very helpful for daily transport and commuting purposes and for sharing fuel powered vehicles with others. And thats what most people in Thailand do. @strolling: clocks are useless.

I love how a few owners out of thousands report problems on a forum and all of a sudden it's a fragile bike. I've got over 10,000 trouble free kms on my CBR and I am very happy with it. The CBR has been out for over a year and I haven't had to put in a single warranty claim for a customer. It is a very well built, durable, and reliable bike. Good to hear from someone who has to deal (or not to in this case) with these issues in real life that the cbr is reliable, gives me more confidence in the bike then some opinion of an internet "warrior" who spends a surprising amount of time on cbr threads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest you go watch a Thai Moto3 race sometime- it's a bit shocking how many CB'r' 250's they manage to blow up every race... Of course I realize that most CB'r' owners on this forum just cruise and will never race their bikes, but still, all the blown engines in Moto3 make me wonder about the long term durability of these bikes.

The real silliness is the assumption, that racing, or even just riding a race bike, makes a man 1 Don't think anyone said, or even implied that. Maybe that's just what you took from it? Feeling sensitive about something? Kind of ironic that you're riding around on a Tiger (well - when it isn't in the garage anyway) and then blasting bikes like the Ninja 250R and GSXR for not having a fuel gauge . I can understand Strolling (hehehoho) doing it as that's his job, but seems a bit odd otherwise . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
