Is there any easy way to adjust the high-beam down toward the road?   I tried it last night and it is set way too high.

Just sit on the bike, at night, facing your wall 20 or so  feet away use a torch to look behind the fairing while moving your bars left and right and you will see both thumb screw adjusters for hi and low on both sides, they are marked telling you which way to turn them for left or right and up and down aiming....from memory if you want to lower your beams, turn the up/down screws clockwise...........

[Ithailian]

Awesome...I'll try that tonight. Thanks!

My mate got back from UK Friday, heard I'd put a deposit on the 650r the next day he arrives at my place with the shiny green one straight out of stock.  Anyway unlike the dealership he let me take it for a spin, f*k it's hot between the legs (that wasn't meant to sound gay!!) is everybody finding excessive heat on their legs? It's OK if you take them away from the bike a few inches, but you can't ride around like that for long cos it looks stupid, but also using the legs compressed against the tank/frame/fairing is a necessary part of bike riding.

[Ithailian]

hel_l yes.  Yesterday I was stuck in some massive Bangkok traffic and had to turn the bike off while stopped to provide relief to my burning legs.

Let's see some pics of your new ride!

[NinjaGladiator]

My ride won't b here until a week 2morrow (21st) got a black & silver coming.  I'll do some mods then upload pics.

To date Udon Kawas has sold 2 black (not inc. my order), 2 green (inc. my mate's) , and 1 blue, they are also giving away a couple of goodies, crash bungs and tank protector (a very nice one) although I think these were because my mate didn't require a free helmet.  Wot other goodies are people being offered?

Any body taking their shiny new rides to CMBW this year?

What is Hua Hin Bike week like, is it an annual event?

[RusticCharm]

Anyone know whether Kawasaki offer financing on the 650? I have a work colleague wanting a big(ger) bike but can't stretch to the full amount.

They are but I'm not sure of the down-payment requirements for a non-Thai.   I bet some sort of financing can be done.. maybe 50%...

Rustic.Yes Kawasaki do finance.

Picked the bike up on Wed. 5 days earlier than they promised (usually the other way round).  Did the fast break-in and got the oil&filter changed with just 55km on the clock, but I was surprised how black it was already.

Took a helmet+free Insurance (min.)+Road licence (TAX) so about 2,100bt worth, better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Today I've mostly been...
making a seat cowl using some silver-flux cloth, heavy/firm foam, a piece of plastic and a tin of sticky-sticky.

It was trickier to do than I was expecting, it didn't turn out as nice as I was expecting, but I still prefer it over the standard seat.  Yes it only looks (a bit) like a seat cowl really it's still a pillion seat.

Here's one I prepared earlier...

Congrats on the new ride- a whole lot better than the old Ninjette, eh?

Wow- homemade seat cowl- that's not something I'd ever want to try cuz I know I'd muck it up but I'm having some made in color matched ABS and Carbon Fiber. I bet the Carbon Fiber would look awesome on your black Ninja 650R-



Ride On!

This with the new tires then?

[JGA]

I just purchased a green Ninja 650R from the dealer in Pattaya. I live in Bangkok, but there's a multi-week wait for one here. The Pattaya dealer had them in stock and they will are going to transfer the plates to Bangkok for me (extra 350 baht). Before I purchased the bike, I rented one down on Beach Road. There are at least two for rent near Soi 13/3 and 13/4... a blue one and a green one... 800-900 baht per day.

Anybody know where I can get the 2009 service manual in PDF format?

Cheers BSJ,

This is the camera mount I'm using now:



Same mount Bard is using and his videos come out very smooth, so I'm thinking that I need to try a different camera as it seems the cheap Canon I used has something loose inside- it rattles when I shake it I've got a better quality video camera that I'll try next. Hopefully I'll get better results.

Ride On!
