Hey everyone, my name is Eli and this is my new 2011 ninja 250r. its my firls bike and i love it. Im already looking into fender eliminators and integrted tail lights and such. Any tips or suggustions a welcome here! Anyone know anything about the engine break in? I dont wanna ride it to hard.

;DHey Welcome! That SE paint job rocks!

If you want 6 opinions on break-in, just ask 5 people. The 4000 RPM redline is just about impossible to abide by. Go easy at first, especially since you are learning and getting comfortable, switch gears often and vary the rpm. Avoid really long rides at the same RPM and basically ride it like you plan to ride it when its broken in, minus the temptation to go high-speed hooligan every once in a while. Once you covered the first 1000 kms or so and have an oil change or two behind you, then you can wind it out plenty.

Enjoy and have a blast.

Welcome!

Think thats the first one I've seen in SE paint.

RE the break in, Blackboar is spot on, LOTS of different opinions, if you hit the search bar up at the top of the page you'll find lots of threads on it.

Check out Bike monkey kit.

Go team Special Edition!? Welcome to the site? Can you snap a close-up of the paint around the keyhole for the rear seat? Curious as to what's going on back there.

do the 2011 models come in white now?

Or did you paint it?

if they come that way so many people that painted there bike white are going to be pissed. hahhaa

Anyways welcome to the site!!

as for break in Dont red line it and stay below 8k! staying under 4k is impossible.

They are very pretty.
2011-White but the tail sections are black with white sticker. Kawa Kinda shorted us I think.


Still a very nice bike and thanks for posting picts!

Welcome Eli, very nice looking ride there!!

Z, that sticker is just the reverse of the one on the front fairings, so it's not all bad!!

 

[zartan]

Love the white for sure. even with the sticker.

you cant see it in the pictures or even in person if you dont look close enough but theirs actually red ghosted ninja stars in the black paint.

Hmm. I can't seem to get into that paint scheme. The whole "splash" thing isn't doing it for me.
