I started on a 99 ninja 250 when i was 17. It was a fun little bike and was a very good learner bike but i got bored with it quick (about 6 months). And insurance on it was next to nothing. I think i was paying about $30 a month. I stayed on it constantly for those six months and that got me...

Now I feel stupid. I cant believe how easy that was. I figured that with as sophisticated as these bikes are that the lever would be some kind of electronic control or something. All I had to do was lift the gas tank and there it was right beside the idle adjustment screw. Thank you GSXcite for...

My fast idle lever stopped working on my '06. It is hard to move and has absolutely no effect. I know in a month or two i wont need it anyway but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how much it costs to fix.

The Joust all the way

Is that just for road courses? I was under the impression that you could wear just a jacket and leather pants for drag racing. I know it has to be all leather but just wondering about the attachment.

Aren't two piece suits allowed at the track?

You can use a magnetic tank bag on an 06. I have one for mine

That's the plan. Ordering a new tire Tuesday

Wait. You got 11k out of a tire. What kind of tire were you running. The most I've been able to get is 6500.

Thanks for the link, bigoltool. But I cant wait for something to be mailed to me. Like I said earlier, I need it fixed today or tomorrow so that I have a ride to work. Thanks anyway tho

I hate plugs. Plugs are garbage. Plugs are meant to be a temporary fix. Thats why I didnt even list that as an option. But then again it might buy me some time to order the tire that i want. Ill plug it tomorrow and post my opinion on it in a few days. The worst that could happen is that it...

ok i couldnt find a plug/patch so i tried to find someone that had a new tire in stock. I found a shop that had a shenko r006 (or was it r005?) in stock but i am not familiar with this tire. Anyone have any feedback?

ok thanks for the help

About to call around to see if i can find a plug/patch. Anything i need to know about them before i do, semi? Such as if there is a certain kind i need?

Yeah thats what i was leaning towards myself but i dont really have the money right now and I need it fixed today or tomorrow at the latest. The bike is the only way i have to get around. That and nobody around here keeps tires that size in stock. I dont trust a patch anyway so I was really...
