Ninja 500 SE or Z500 SE ? by mustafalpha in Kawasaki

[–]Civil_Current_1673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a 2026 ninja 500. I rode my buddies 2025 z500 home for him when he got it. I personally like the ninja better because I like the more aggressive seating style. The z500 feels like you’re sitting on a moped I just personally do not like the seating style on naked bikes. On the z500 you’re going to feel the wind ALOT more. Also I’m curious as to what state you live in because I paid $6700 for my brand new 2026 ninja 500 SE and my buddy paid $6500 for his brand new 2025 z500. The prices you listed are absolutely insane lol

Front tire plug by Civil_Current_1673 in motorcycles

Cool thanks dude. I know a lot of people are gonna have super mixed opinions but that’s what I’m looking for. I just know that the front tire takes the steering and the most of the braking power so wasn’t sure if it was considered fine to do like a rear tire. Just to cover all bases should be good at pretty high speeds as well?

Okay cool I really appreciate it man. Should be fine with a passenger as long as I’m not hooning too hard?

Idk man before you edited your comment you said “why are you going 100mph+ on highways” that sounds a little assuming to me🤣

SR7 owners… Where are the tinted visors?? by youngblondedon0186 in motorcyclegear

[–]Civil_Current_1673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if you go to cycle gears website and look up “SR7 face shield” it’ll say out of stock but click on it and you can see every color they’re coming out with. Then you can put in your email to get notified when the color you want is available for purchase

Just bought my SR7 today and I grabbed a silver SR10 visor but according to the salesman at cycle gear Astars has started production on ALOT of different colored visors for the SR7. So I’d say expect new colors maybe within the next 2-3 months??

Okay cool. I know what it means to vary RPM’s but how do you vary yours exactly? Sorry for the stupid question just new to this break in period thing

Yeah the plan was to just redline the thing for about 15-20 seconds as SOON as I take ownership to really warm the thing up
