Well if that is a rear tire it looks very narrow. If it's a front, why does it only have 1 rotor? Ninja 250 maybe?

[upshift]

Well if its a 250 its the rear tire cus the calipers are on the right. And judging from the angle if it were the rear tire you should be able to see some of the lower fairing. But it's the 15th so why am I even guessing?

I'm trying to do a deal on the same bike at the moment; 2009 ER-6n. I was hoping for the orange but that is only available as of 2010, and I can save an additional $300.00 by going for the '09.

Of course after that I'll be dumping money on a shock, Race-Tech cartridge emulators, and a set of Givi V35 side bags :screwy:

[Porkchop]

Nice! I love that color. My friend has the 06 zx-6r in the Flat Plasma Blue. Any variation of that Plasma Blue that Kawi pumps out looks nice.

[Rangerscott]

Blue is the only color that came to america in 09

[Papa_Complex]

Blue is the only color that came to america in 09

Yup, same here. The overall deal I'm being offered is pretty good. I just need to figure out insurance since my current insurer thinks that the ER is a sportbike, so they won't insure it. They have no problem with my VFR though :skep:

[TommyHotWheel]

Very nice...not nearly as gay as expected.

Ya. Allstate has my vfr as a sport bike. Get that bike and keep the vfr so we can be viffer6n'ers brothers.

[Gas Man]

Looks good. Looks like a cross between a 650 *and a 1125 buell.

[Papa_Complex]

I got the chance to look at the ER-6N and Ninja 650 side-by-side, at a bike show a couple of months ago. They're identical, save for the bodywork.

[Tsunami]

Wait, Ranger is not banned yet?? Who is slacking??

[Papa_Complex]

Ya. Allstate has my vfr as a sport bike. Get that bike and keep the vfr so we can be viffer6n'ers brothers.

Going to have to give up the VFR, I'm afraid. OK, not "have to", but it would make life easier. Insurance for a year is just over $1K and I already have a track bike that barely sees me, as it is.

I'm looking at about $800.00 for the Givi bags and mounting hardware. I think that the biggest change for me, between the VFR and the ER-6N, will be the suspension. The VFR has been fitted with Gold Valves and a Penske racing shock. I'll take a well suspended bike over horsepower, any day of the week.

[Particle Man]

Looks good, congrats!

You should still be banned for f**king with us though :lol:

[Rangerscott]

Y'all had to wait just like I did. The 6n is more upright than I thiuht it would be. He only complaint I have is the seat wants to till pelvic region forward. Kinda hard to explain.

O ya. The new Z1000 is beautiful.

Rain rain go the fuck away. Had to buy me a frog rain suit at academy. Man, I hope it clears up tomorrow.

[Papa_Complex]

I just got back from buying my own '09 ER-6N. I'll have the Givi bags by Tuesday, but the mounting hardware might not be available until May. This might not be a big problem overall, but the bike I'm getting doesn't have the passenger grab handles. They were removed to give to another customer, who had issues with his.

I got money off the price, a shop manual, and a Dowco cover for buying this particular bike, but it would be nice to have either the grab handles or the 650 Ninja style inserts for now until I can get the bags mounted. If anyone has an idea where I could reliably get either, I'd appreciate it.

I pick the bike up on Wednesday night.

mrcycles.com has Kawasaki microfiche and list the grab handles being for sale. I don't know if they are in stock or not. The part numbers shown on the fiche are 46095A/C for right side and 46075/B for left. In the parts list it shows 46075 for LH and 46075 for RH. They are also listed at around $60 per side with another $10 or so for mounting hardware.

Thanks, that gives me another option. I could go for the inserts that are used on the Ninja 650, for considerably less. They'll be coming off when the bags get mounted anyway.

[Rangerscott]

Sorry for no updates. She's resting in my storage until I get the title over to my name. I don't want to get pulled over or something happen and the previous owner is still on the title. That would make me a jerk wad.

I'll post pics/vids/naughty pics/and naughty vids asap.

[Rangerscott]

Hell. Guess I should update my profile and add my new baby girl. Poor thing is still locked up in storage. That's cause she's a naughty little girl. Can't be letting her off the lease and gettin all prego. I don't need no child support crack whore under my watch.

[Papa_Complex]

OK, there's something wrong with that. It means that I got to ride mine, before you did. Rode it into work today, as a matter of fact. I've got the Givi V35 cases sitting in a box just waiting for the mounting hardware to arrive, so that I can mount them, and working on ordering an Elka shock.

[Papa_Complex]

Rangerscott, if you ever decide to mount Givi luggage on your bike, it's a bit of a pain in the ass and requires relocating the turn signals and extending the signal light wiring. I'm still looking for an aftermarket shock, as the Elka ended up having a clearance problem on the lower mount. Strange, as I know they've sold a bunch of them for use on the Ninja 650, which has the same frame and swingarm.

http://www.morallyambiguous.net/multimedia/gallery2/d/61114-3/R6050579.JPG

[Rangerscott]

Thinks for the heads up. No luggage for now, but maybe if I find a set really cheap. Windshield would go on before luggage.

First thing that is going on my is sliders or the cage.


These sliders are nice but I think they are mounted too low. I can picture the bike just tumping over them and the tank hitting the ground. Would be stronger if they tig welded the shafts onto the plates.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kawasaki-ER6n-Engine-Protectors-Frame-Sliders-FREE-SHIP-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2c547d73c0QQitemZ19039 6068800QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

[Papa_Complex]

Yeah, those look pretty low. I could definitely see the bike rocking up onto the tank. I've seen some that mount higher up, but closer to the bike, which would probably both protect better and make it more difficult for them to snap off. You may find this page useful. It's more keyed to the Ninja 650R, but most things should fit.

http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~shanetp/Sliders.html

I saw your thread about the crash bars. I like them, but they look like they would make working on the bike more difficult.

I needed the luggage for my commute, so that went on first. If you do decide to buy the luggage assemble all the brackets loosely first, then have a friend hold them in place while you get everything finger tight. It's a real pain in the ass if you're assembling it on the bike, getting everything to line up. It's good quality stuff and it does fit well, there's just an easier way to get it done than how I did it (alone and piece-by-piece).

I've already bought a Givi A446 screen, in solid black, and I'm just waiting for the mounting hardware. That seems to be a common theme with buying Givi stuff in Canada.

[Rangerscott]

If you don't know already, you're gonna love what you have to do just to clean the air filter. LOL

[Papa_Complex]

Did you ever bleed the linked brakes on your VFR? Anything has got to be a step up :lol:

[Rangerscott]

Did you ever bleed the linked brakes on your VFR? Anything has got to be a step up :lol:

O there's a setup. A many step setup. I of course being super awesome went around the FSM. Theres a few FSM's on ebay for $30 and less. I highly recommend getting one.

The air filter box is shaped like most sport bikes, but its not two half shells screwed together. The foam filter is on a plastic "cassette" and it pulls out of the top. Sooooo the fsm wants you to drain the tank, disconnect the fuel line, two electrical connections, then pull the tank off. Haha. Ya right. What i did was unbolt the two back bolts, pulled the top from front catchers. Then i put my plastic socket box under the rear so the fuel pump doest hit anything. I then lefted the front as much as possible and used a Mr Clean filter to hold the front up. I used a stubby phillips and my girly hands to get the filter out. You just have to be real careful with the fuel line. Its barely long enouh and the fuel rail is plastic. Ill up load the pics later.

[Papa_Complex]

Sounds like a good candidate for a quick disconnect.

[Rangerscott]

Sounds like a good candidate for a quick disconnect.

In the maintance section it sounded like it was anti-drain back, but when you go farther into he fsm for filter change it says to use a pump to drain the tank.

I read that. Sounds like quite the pain in the ass. Did you read the part that says, "After riding through rain or on muddy roads, the element should be cleaned immediately"? Hell, I'm already two cleanings behind.

On the upside, Penske says that they have a model 8983, dual adjustable shock for it.

Sure. For the low low price of $850.

Hell when I went to get the bike it was rain every day I was there. Since there is no fairing and the position of the two intake tubes, it may get a good amount of water in the intake box.

[Rangerscott]

This has some good stuff for our bikes.

http://www.ninja650shop.com/

[Papa_Complex]

Yup, I saw that. They do have a few interesting things there. I'm thinking about a hugger, to keep the spray down in the rain.

BTW, I had them throw in a shop manual with the bike, so I'm all set from that angle.

[Rangerscott]

The hugger looks like the same size, just an option for paint.

My list so far is

1. Crash bars
2. Cutting mirror rods, then tigging in a piece to extend. The mirrors are absolutely useless.
3. & 4. Tie. Either the painted under fender or a windshield.
5. Seat cowl, but not for $130.
6. Maybe the that sport bike handle conversion
7. Exhaust. The stock exhaust sounds fine to me so ill just wait until a good deal comes along.

[Papa_Complex]

I agree about the mirrors. After the great mirrors on the VFR, that made me feel like I had eyes in the back of my head, the ER's are almost worthless. I've been trying to come up with some sort of long stem mirror alternative. I don't like bar-end mirrors.

Not fan of the ends either. Especially the price on those little things. The rod just needs to be longer. Gonna get a machine shop the cut the mirror rods, tig maybe 2" of same diameter. Grind/sand smooth then re-powder coat.

There's a company that makes extenders that move the mirrors out about 2 inches, but the things look like crap.

[Rangerscott]

Was reading some how-to's on that website you link and one guy said the fuel line is self sealing so it shouldn't leak with the fuel line is disconnected. I'll have to try it when I'm on E.


I wouldn't thinkthe american version of our bikes is restricted, but I'm gonna check into mine.

http://shanetp.110mb.com/Derestricting%20ER6N.pdf

[Papa_Complex]

Nope, our's aren't restricted. That 33 PS is a UK standard for probationary riders, before they get their full license. Ours should be more like 72 PS.

[Rangerscott]

Hey Big Papa. I disconnected my tank and it is anti-drain back. Yea for us.

My crash bars should be here Friday. I'll get them on asap since I'll be going on a pie run on Saturday. I'll get pics up asap. I did come up with some rear tail sliders. There are the ones on ebay.

but I don't want to pay that price. I'm just going to order another set of stand spool sliders like I have on right now. I'll get a longer bolt and spacer to get it to fit snug. I can also use it as a place to put netting hooks.

whats a pie run?

[Papa_Complex]

I'm guessing that it's a run for pie. Everyone loves pie :D

Good news about the tank. That will simplify things considerably. I guess that they say to drain the tank before removal for liability reasons, rather than functional ones. Then again I've seen some pretty stupid instructions in service manuals, over the years, that make anything take 3 times as long.

[Rangerscott]

Pie run equals pie eating.

I will say because of the tanks shape, its a wobbly bastard. Also be careful; everyhing on the fuel system is plastic.

I do like your idea about using the spools on the grab handles. It's a much more logical contact point. You might want to try laying the bike down, or putting a piece of plywood up against it when it's upright, to see if the spool makes contact first.

I'm kicking myself now for not taking pictures of the Givi installation, while I was doing it. It would have been a good piece for my website. I'll have to remember to do it when I mount the windscreen.

[Rangerscott]

Chi. Would you like to go eat some pie with me?


Its driving bonkers that it doesnt have an oil cooler. I for an engine that doest even hold 2.5 quarts, you'd think here were be one. Maybe someone will figure a way to add one.

[Papa_Complex]

I'm not sure where you'd mount a cooler, even if you could find one. Years ago I used to deal with these guys, who I bought a 13-row cooler for my Bandit 1200 from. The thing was a bloody work of art!

I'll likely go full synth on the second or third oil change.

[Rangerscott]

You can always use the oil sensor port but it wont be useful if its a tiny port. Usually theres a port/bolt in an engine that goes to an oil passage that isnt used, but of course youd need anothergport for the return.

The 2010's rads are bigger. Ill keep an eye out for one.

Couldn't you find a oil filter remote and put it inline?

I was better off replacing the stock cooler, though I could also have just added a secondary oil cooler. The early B12 is air/oil cooled, not liquid cooled.

[Rangerscott]

I forgot about a sandwhich adapter. Theres room for a 6" or longer oil filter on this bike. I installed an oil cooler on my vehicle and the oil stays golden a lot longer now.

I was just thinking of a small 3 or 4 row cooler. Not knowing the strength of the oil cooler. I wouldnt want to go too big on the cooler or run too long of hoses. Relocate the horn and theres plenty of room on the left side. If be it, Im sure I can make some brackets to mount it front of the rad.

[Tsunami]

Now I want some pie.

Have you done anything about all the wind blasting your helmet? My setup is also shooting bugs that splat all across my line of vision.

I don't have any problems with the wind suga buns.

I could have sworn you posted about your windscreen directing wind right into your helmet. :skep:

Nah. I was talking about my helmet mashing my face. That's just going to happen when going 70mph and fighting heavy winds.

[Rangerscott]

Alright Uncle Papa.

Here's some oil filter stuff I'd gather on the ER-6N and the engine that is in my vehicle and a sandwich adapter.

Perma Cool oil sandwhich The sandwhich is the same 1" one, but the adapter is different which each model. The ER-6N threads are 20mmx1.5 So you'd need the Perma Cool 186 sandwich adapter.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PRM-186/

Nipple Thread Size 20mm x 1.5
Inlet Size 3/8 in. NPT
Outlet Size 3/8 in. NPT
Notes 1 inch thick. Use 0.500 inch oil lines. 2.500 and 3.125 inch O-rings included.


The adapter on my vehicle is the same but with a different adapter and just one O-ring size. Not sure why the 186 has two different size O-ring sizes on it, but hey it fits two different diameters.

[Rangerscott]

I've already changed the oil on my er6n, but if you're gonna need to them pm me. I'll need some measurements of the mating surface where the oil filter seals. I'll need to know the O.D. and the I.D. so to make sure the sandwich will seal against the block.

[Papa_Complex]

Thanks. It's good to know that there's an option, if I decide to go that way. I'm hoping that going synth, alone, will make a difference.

[Rangerscott]

Got them in today. I'll get them on sunday.

Funny, you don't look Mexican to me.

[Papa_Complex]

Just mounted a set of low braced Renthal bars, with some KTM bar end weights, on my bike. Somewhat softer grips too. The bike was agile to start with but, with the slightly wider bars, it might almost be TOO agile now. Not a bad way to spend $150.00. The straighter bars also reduce the pressure on the outside ball of the hand, reducing fatigue and wrist strain.

Held up as in "delayed" or held up as in "mugged" :eek:
