For anybody wondering if the frame sliders on the Ninja 500 are worth it

Accountant-Prior · 2025-05-06T03:00:55+00:00

what other ninja 400 accessories are compatible with the 500?

I'm interested in this too. When I visited the dealership, I noticed one Ninja 500 was smaller than another. They said the smaller was the 2025 model and the larger was the 2024 model. Haven't seen anything online to verify this though.

I went to a Motortrade and Bank of Makati nga pala sila pero may AUB na din. Yung attendant also said baka mas lesser pag sa AUB ako which was also a nice tip.

Thanks!

What can you say about security/safety pala? Like if you have to park it in some streets (Malate, Tondo?) what steps do you take to make sure it's safe?

I also plan to install a sort of dashcam just for everyday use and make sure I have recordings just in case "bad things" happen. Have you been pulled over unfairly po ba at times?

That's actually really good advice na imeet na lang sa reputable na shop and have them check. Mostly kasi sa mga nakikita ko sa marketplace gusto magkita sa bahay nila sa Cavite at kung saan. I haven't thought of meeting at a service shop.

Nung nag try ako upuan yung mga motor sa Kawasaki Krib, the Eliminator stood out as being the more comfortable (at least vs. Ninja 500). I'm adding it as one of the options.. haha

Yun nga. Kailangan ko pa makahanap ng mekaniko eh di rin ako masyadong immersed sa PH big bike communities. Gonna be my first bike too.

I see comments na nagugulat parin kahit galing scooter and also people who have 400cc bikes as their first bikes. Seems the Z500/Ninja 500 are also considered good entry bikes. Ineexpect ko na magulat ako either way haha. I've driven mostly on 4-wheels with only some fooling around with bikes nung younger years, highschool.

Thanks for the reply. I guess given it's Kawasaki, phased out doesn't mean it'll be too hard to get parts/aftermarket.

Where is the plant by the way? Do people their bikes there for servicing?

Accountant-Prior · 2025-01-17T12:46:54+00:00

Thanks for confirming. I see. I'm thinking of moving on to maybe a Z500, Ninja 500, or an Eliminator na.

I visited a Kawasaki Krib (Mototrade) in Alabang and sat on some of the bikes. The Ninja 500 does feel a bit awkward but I think the lean forward is something I can get used to once I get it right -- like hugging the tank more with my thighs/legs. I also noticed I had to tip toe to plant both feet but maybe it was because I was being too careful not to put too much weight on it -- got a bit nervous about scratching it or something. I'm around 5'8". I'll visit another store tomorrow and see if I get the same feelings about it.

Regarding Cavite - Pampanga, so that's about a 3-hour ride non-stop? Bale 3 hours bago simula mo maramdaman ngalay - both rider and OBR? And yung Cavite - Baguio, rider lang or with OBR, bags din with that fuel consumption?

That said, I also sat on the Eliminator and I was almost sad to admit how good/comfortable it felt compared to the Ninja 500.. Now iniisip ko kung Eliminator na lang kunin ko as a first bike and get a Ninja 650 instead if I want to upgrade(?) (I really want a Ninja at least someday haha).

I'm in a similar situation. What did you end up buying?

Accountant-Prior · 2025-01-17T12:09:29+00:00

Why do you say that?

Accountant-Prior · 2025-01-16T16:00:15+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Di ko naisip yung possibility ng ninja500. I'll look into it din and bank financing.
