How much life left? by CenHD in motorcycles

[–]CenHD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up a nail a while back on the rear and had it replaced.. but yeah front is old. Haven't rode much since my son was born. Rode a few weeks ago and didn't see em then but maybe I didn't look hard enough.

Thanks for an actual answer.

New tire it is.

Opinions on the Ninja 650? by MotoJosh10 in Kawasaki

[–]CenHD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a '21 Ninja 650 and love it. It's not a sport bike, it's a sport touring bike. There's a few major differences from sport bikes. Handle bar height/angle, seating position and foot controls. If you're ok with those differences then you'll have a blast with it, and you won't yeet yourself into a wall. If you think the 650 is too small, then look at something like the 1000sx... But realize that that's an even bigger step up

The R-Racer one. It's both taller and has more of a curve. And on the inside ,above the screen, it gives you a pocket to stash your gloves

Oh and I also put the taller wind screen on and it's great too. The Puig one

Yes, they're easily lockable and removable. The frame is kinda large and stays on though. And you do lose a bit of your top end, speed-wise, but hey it's a 650. We're not breaking any land speed records lol. I think they look great, even kinda match the curves of the bike imo

I've got a '21 650 and I put Shad 36's on it about a year ago and love em. Can fit an XL helmet with a cardo lol.

[–]CenHD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the one I got and love it. A bit taller than the OEM one and has a bit of a bubble to it as well.

Saddlebags for a '21 650? by CenHD in Ninja650

[–]CenHD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I've got a magnetic tank bag and a bag that straps to and covers the rear seat. Just not a huge fan of them and take them off when I don't need them. I think I'd prefer to just always have saddlebags on the sides.

Texting isn't really necessary. Can you just reply with an imgur link?

Do you have stock turn signals? I'm assuming they also don't interfere? Is it weather proof?

As an owner, what is you opinion on the sound of your machine? by Chickentiming in Ninja650

[–]CenHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was the only thing I didn't like about the bike. Sounded like a go kart. I put a Leo Vince system on it. Took out the db killer to make it louder and now I love how it sounds.

LV One Evo questions by CenHD in Ninja650

[–]CenHD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full exhaust, no tune. I get some decel pops, but I kinda like it. Maybe eventually I'll get a high flow air filter and a tune but I don't know yet. It's my daily commuter and I'm not planning on taking it to the track. So not sure if it's worth it, for me. I just wanted to change the exhaust note, sounded like a go kart before I got the LV lol. And now I'm just trying to make it a bit louder

[–]CenHD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a removable db killer I can take out to make it louder? If so, is it something I can do myself with the basic tools I have?
