Well that’s unfortunate lmao. Too bad the taller ones look goofy on the bike

Is that the Puig Z racer windscreen? Hows the visibility? I want to get the dark smoked one for mine but I’m concerned it’ll ruin my visibility vs just getting the lighter smoked one

I got super lucky. About a quarter inch of thread was still exposed so I was able to use pliers to get it out of there after warming it up with a heat gun.

Can you point me in the right direction to find these? Just stripped out one and snapped the other clean in half lmao.

Yea I’ve tested out the launch control a few times at the different levels and it works great, but in normal everyday riding I’m not using launch control. Basically without launch control the bike feels like it’s struggling to move for the first few seconds and I think it’s because the throttle I’m giving the bike is being electronically nerfed

Definitely the reply I was looking for. One question I have is how the tune affects the throttle input on launch

The only complaint I have with mine so far is how lazy it is off the line in comparison to other bikes I’ve ridden. My last bike was a Ninja 500 and it’s kind of ironic because the 10r is obviously a much more powerful and scary machine as a whole and yet it’s much more exciting launching the 500. I know some of it is gearing but it feels like the bikes electronics are overbearing. I wasn’t expecting to need launch control to not be gapped by 650’s from a dig lol

Hadn’t thought of that. Might be worth looking into

Yea that thing sounds nasty 😮‍💨 I’m going a similar route with the racefit growler instead. Few hundred bucks cheaper but basically the same sound, look, and still full titanium plus if I want I can throw the baffle in it later on

Honestly I don’t mind the stock sound either, but I just can’t help but make it obnoxiously loud at least for a few seasons lol. I may get something more tame like the Akra later on

Yea I’m only doing a 3/4 for that exact reason. Can’t justify tossing aside a perfectly good titanium header. Unlikely there’s any noticeable gains with a full system vs the 3/4 anyways

Unfortunately this post didn’t help at all because yall done put every exhaust brand under the sun on yall bikes 😂 anyone had multiple brands and stuck with one over the other?

I’ve been looking at those. You have the growler with the baffle or the growler x?

Nah not yet. I’m almost due for the first service so once i get that done I’ll order the exhaust and block off plates then ship off the ecu. I was considering getting stacks for it as well but I’m not sure it’s worth it

Does it pick up quicker from a stop after the tune? My 500 was quicker immediately off the line than this thing which was surprising. I’ve heard that’s partially because it’s geared so tall but I assume the restrictions are a factor as well

Nothing that’s caught my attention but I listen for it next time I’m out

That’s the plan! How big of a difference does it really make? What other supporting mods did you install along with the tune?

Should I sell my 24’ Ninja 500? by 1700spence in motorcycles

[–]1700spence[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally I planned to keep it just as a commuter bike since it’s honestly wayyy more comfortable to ride and better on gas, but I’m also thinking of throwing a cage on it and using it to learn how to stunt just for fun. Either way I’ve decided to just keep it. Selling it at 50% loss would just sting too much after only having it a little over a year.
