What about OHLINS?
I've gotten quotes from about 3 different places and I've found the cheapest way to buy and install them. Front and rear Ohlins for the old Ninja 650.
The image is linked to the product information on Webike.
I've been spending a lot of time looking at quotes and thinking about them.
However, the front fork springs are currently out of stock. It seems that we need to make a decision as soon as possible.
I haven't placed an order yet.
The cost of the front and rear Ohlins conversion is about 13 to 14 admonitions. I already have enough money in my 500 yen savings account that I started at the beginning of the year to cover it, so I've cleared the spending hurdle, but it's not that small an amount.
Probably, but if you just want to update the suspension to the level of production cars that you have tested and found to have good suspension, OHLINS is over-spec. With my skills and usage, it would probably be enough to just change the springs, and if that's the case, I feel that I can be satisfied with this rear.
The plan is to replace the stock suspension springs with HYPERPRO springs, which will save me about 7 to 8 bucks compared to installing OHLINS.
I just don't like the purple color of HYPERPO.
I'm still confused. If you are concerned about the color of the spring, you can look for suspension springs from other manufacturers.
A little better Ninja.
So, save money by replacing the springs: .... No, I'd rather keep the standard suspension at ....? If you are thinking about it, you can use the 500 yen coin that weighs 4 kg in this box for something else.
この写真はArticle for August 1This is a quote from I just weighed it and it was 4.1kg.
Since the Ninja 650 was created as a mass-produced, affordable bike, there are a number of parts that are a bit cheaper than others due to cost constraints.
"You mean the Paratwin engine?" Whoever thought that! I'm not mad at you, just step forward.
However, the suspension is the first thing that comes to mind. Since I really like the design of this bike, I have a strong desire to upgrade its appearance and performance a little bit without compromising it.
Other greed I
This is a half dress-up part first. A retractable cast aluminum lever.
A Ninja 400 rider that I follow/follow on Instagram was wearing a Gailspeed radial pump brake master and lever, and he wrote that it was super nice, so I was doing some research......
No, this is indeed a luxury.
The black aluminum levers on the Ninja 450/600 look a little cheap. I'd like to change this one since it's always in my hand and view while driving.
It's a retractable type so that it doesn't break when you fall .... This is a good excuse.
Other greed II
And so it is today. I went out on my bike for a meeting first thing in the morning. On the way home, I dropped by 2Rinkan to look at some parts and winter goods. The moment I was about to enter the alley from Kannana......I felt like I stepped on something and the rear end slipped.
It was very similar to the feeling I got when I slid down a manhole on a rainy day just before changing the rear tire on my Ninja 400.
I haven't confirmed what I stepped on yet, but come to think of it, it's time for the mountain roads to be slippery with fallen leaves....... I was searching for motorcycle parts at home, thinking....
YOSHIMURA Yoshimura/BAZZAZ Z-Fi TC Fuel & Traction Control (+ Auto Shifter) ER-6n
What is it? This.
fuel andTraction control (+auto shifter)That's what it says......
Moreover, the distributor is Yoshimura.Official product page on Yoshimura's websiteThere was.
From what I read briefly, it is basically a so-called sub-computer, but it seems to be a device that can achieve pseudo-tracon-like behavior by using its functions.
Does the Ninja 650 (non-ABS version) have a sensor that picks up the wheel speed? Is it possible to use a speed sensor and engine speed or something like that?
And it's right there in the product lineup.Kit for Ninja 650There is.
This looks interesting...... I'll check it out.
So, it will be a little while before I install OHLINS... Or maybe I'll wear a different suspension!
