I'm done with the training.
Well, it's not so much tuning, but my basic policy when working on the Ninja 650 is to "upgrade parts that have been sacrificed due to manufacturer cost constraints without violating the Highway Traffic Act.
already installed:OHLINS Suspension (front and rear)
It is an expensive part, but as I felt right after installing it, the ride quality and ground contact feeling became as high quality as if I had switched from a compact car to a mid-sized sedan. I've only played with the preload, but it has reduced my anxiety when winding downhill or braking hard, and I highly recommend it.
Parts already acquired:NISSIN Radial Brake Master Cylinder & SWAGE-LINE Pro Stainless Steel Mesh Brake Hoses
I thought about installing Brembo cast iron calipers at the same time, but with my speed range and the weight of the Ninja 650, I've never had any complaints about the braking performance itself. I thought about installing Brembo cast iron calipers at the same time, but with my speed range and the weight of the Ninja 650, I've never had any complaints about the braking performance itself, so I thought the control improvement would be enough for now.
However, I'm not sure how long the caliper mounts for the Brembo will be available now that the Ninja 650/400 are obsolete, so I think it's better to get them anyway: .... I think it's a good idea.
under consideration:TOURATECH BoosterPlug
This is a part to increase torque and power by tricking the ECU into enriching the mixture which is set to be thin due to exhaust gas regulations. It's also easy to install, so if you make a mistake, you can remove it right away.
Next, dress up. I actually don't like this part......
As for the exterior, all we did was add a Puig rear fender, rim tape on the wheels, CLAY SMITH stickers, change the pitot cover from silver to gold, and add the stock tank pads from the old Ninja 250 SPECIAL EDITION.
The Puig rear fender that was supposed to be used for tuning to prevent mud from splashing on the suspension didn't work very well, so it became just a dress-up part....orz
I'm sorry.Gunma~Toyama~Nagano~Gifu touring and broke a side mirror while breaking in the exterior.So I forgot to install the Napoleon mirror!....orz
Oh, by the way, when I took this fall, the frame sliders on the babyface saved me and I was almost unharmed except for the mirrors!......
I don't plan to do any more work on the Ninja 650 as I like the style and coloring of the bike, and I'm not even going to put the sticker that came with the OHLINS or the BRIGHT sticker on the bike. I'm happy with the way the rear end looks because I feel that shortening it would make it look childish.
However, there is one point that I haven't liked since the Ninja 400 days........
Here it is. The ribbed part of the gas tank that is left bent........
It's hard to tell from this photo because it was taken right after the car was washed, but when you see the actual car, the treatment and texture of this part looks a little cheap.
Everyone hides it so well.
By the way, the new Ninja 250/400/650/1000, which have all recently moved to the new generation design, have a frame cover that hides this part of the frame......
The newer models, including the MT-07 that competes with the Ninja 650, are all treated in such a way that they do not show this part of the body....... The finish of the YAMAHA bike is very natural.
I wonder if this will work......
I've been wanting to do something about Coco for a while, but I couldn't think of a good way to do it, so I just forgot about it.
Why don't we just hide it with molding? If it's matte black, it'll blend in with the frame cover, and if it's carbon-patterned or gold, it'll look a little more fancy.......
So I'd like to play around with this a bit soon. Hi.
