$431.00 O_o

[jonathan180iq]

Thanks Jordan for the find. It's nice to see some more aftermarket parts for this bike.

That being said, $431 +tax and shipping is a little too much for my taste. On top of that, any performance gain would be minimal, if existent.

This falls into that category of the benefits of the upgrade not outweighing the cost or the time.

[Dirt_McGert]

Cool find, but how can that company justify selling it for $431 dollars???????

[Dupo]

Much like Microsoft, they are probably the only ones who make it. Can charge whatever they want.

Doubt there is much demand for it, seeing how expensive that is.

[Jordan310]

Im getting it.
Its not only pretty cool that they make it for the GZ, but I am actually sure that there will be a power gain after rejet.
Everything is smooth throughout, and not micky fickeyed, welded, and pieced together at home depot.

I think they are charging too much, yes. No doubt because of the low demand for it, and high cost of low production runs.
If you look at how much a paint job, or a new set of rims are .. its actually not that bad at all.

Im going to see if I can get a deal.
If everyone writes to them asking them to lower the price, we might get a board member discount in place.

I really am thinking about it though. If it goes down to $300-$350.00 its a done deal.

[Dupo]

Yea, no doubt you should get a boost using it. It is cool, just the price kinda blows lol. But then again, everything is expensive for bikes.

[jonathan180iq]

For what it's worth, a 2-1 muzzy exhaust, K&N pod air filters and a fully rejetted carb yields roughly 2-4 HP on a Ninja 250.
Don't expect to change a muffler and suddenly be able to race Lambos.

I've learned the hard way that trying to make a 250 into a 750 isn't possible.

[Dupo]

yep, thats why i bought a 750 lol.

[jonathan180iq]

:lol:

[Jordan310]

jonathan,

Im not tryto race Lambros guy, Im just trying to create a show bike that uses every bit of HP it can grab from hard work, and tooling around.
I will be buying an 800cc M50 in a few months, but I still love the usability of this small city bike. I also like the fact that customizing it, with such an underdog aftermarket can be so much fun as well.

Just ask Nate on this board.
I dont need a 750 to whip you in city traffic. I also dont really care about 750's, as this is a GZ250BIKE.COM site.
A K&N filter, and rejet was already done, and makes a tremendous difference in feel and sound of the bike from stock. Im sure many will tell you that.
I would just love to hear and feel any (if even slight) improvement I could get with this setup designed just for the little GZ. Im pretty sure its going to be a little bit meaner sounding, and have better flow.

In any case :neener:

Just currious, .. which K&N Pod filter are you talking about? Whats the size of it? :tongue:

[jonathan180iq]

Well, I wasn't speaking to you directly. I was simply trying to state that after being around 250s for a while and making some "mistakes" as far as overestimating the ability of aftermarket parts and the potential of the engines, I've learned to lay off, for the most part, on making significant changes.

Yes, you can improve certain aspects of flow and probably even increase HP, some. However, spending a thousand dollars on a $3,000 bike for an extra 10 Hp just doesn't make much sense.

It's pretty obvious that you and I have differing opinions of what this type of bike should be used for. That being said, if you have the money to burn then feel free to make tons of modifications and produce a show bike or whatever you want to use it for. I just think that in the end, if you are jumping ahead of yourself, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.

[jonathan180iq]

Just currious, .. which K&N Pod filter are you talking about? Whats the size of it? :tongue:

K&N part number RU-1822 or RC-1822

[Jordan310]

The K&N RU-1822 and Chrome version (RC-1822) arent to my knowledge "pod" filters.
They are universal filters, and Im not sure that this would be the best fit for this bike. As well, the shape of the filter itself seems as though it might not fit properly without mounting it.

Are you using this filter?

I would think that either a can shaped, or cone shaped filter might be a better fit.
As well, does anyone know the exact mm of the Mikuni carb?

And wait a sec, the 1822 comes with 2 filters if Im not mistaken. I only need 1.

[jonathan180iq]

1822 is a set of 2 pod filters.
I think you're thinking that I was talking about the GZ. My post above is in regards to the 250 Ninja.
RU-1822 is what I ran on that bike.

A universal K&N pod will fit. All someone needs to do is measure the diameter of the carb inlet of the Gz. That someone jus hasn't been me, yet.

HEY! Don't forget your illustrious gz250bike.com admin owns a 750 O_o Watch it or i'll change your name to Jordan750Lover :lol:

[Jordan310]

Lol. No offence to the yellow bomber. =)

[2006 gz]

Yo Jordan, Did I see it correctly that this system has a single header? I know stateside the GZ gets the twin dome exhaust chambers with two outlets but the marauder has the single exhaust port, europe etc. Or does the 350 kit come with a new cylinder that has a single exhaust chamber?
NATE

[Jordan310]

Still awaiting a reply on this one, but Im leaning for now on just an aftermarket pipe like yours.
When I find out more, and have a bit more funds after the big bore kit, Ill re-consider.

If its a single, which it does not say, Ill be very dissapointed.

[Jordan310]

Yes, but what is the best fit for a GZ, not a ninja ..

[IRingTwyce]

I realize this might be bringing back a post from the dead, but Jesus H. Christ! The price on this thing is now $1,140!!!!!!! :shocked: :crazy:

[Dupo]

hoLY crAP!!!

Wonder why it jumped 3x the price? They are crazy.

[alanmcorcoran]

It's got metal in it?

[Dupo]

Better have gold in it for that price lol.

[IRingTwyce]

It just boggles my mind how some things for bikes can be so stinkin' expensive! For crying out loud, I could put on a full custom dual exhaust with headers on my SVT Contour for less than that. And that's on a car with about as much aftermarket support available for it as the GZ has. It's just nuts!

[Jordan310]

Just popping back from the grave for 1 sec. to say WTF?
Wow. Ripping modders off left and right.

Glad Im on a Ducatti now. =P

[Sarris]

HOLY CRAP!! Who in their right mind would spend almost $1150 for an exhaust system for a $3200 motorcycle??

They must be smokin' crack 'cause they damn sure ain't gonna sell any!!! It's worth about $250 tops!!! Thieving buttholes!!!

:tdown:

[IRingTwyce]

Thieving buttholes!!!
For some reason that just made me laugh. :biggrin:
