Hi all, just agreed to buy a 2012 ninja 1000 yesterday, it has 1200 miles on it, yoshimura slip ons, power cammander and a few other add ons. Have been wanting this bike for a while, have a zzr1200 at the moment.

Anyway just wanted to introduce myself to ya all.

Welcome. I just joined and got my 2013 recently. Just curious- how do the Yoshimuras sound? Do you get some good volume out of them?

Good choice in rides, what color?

The Yoshis are a lot quieter than the muzzys on my ZZR1200 but still sound good. Colour is black and grey. Haven't got it yet as waiting for the guy to get the title. My only concern is that his wife was using it and it has an adjustable lowering link on it.

Congratulations! Are you gonna be selling your zzr1200 soon?

Welcome

I have about 7250 miles on my 2014 Ninja---at 7500 I switch to Castrol 10-40 syntheic --from kawasaki dino oil

Not sure what to do with it, was thinking of hanging on to it for when I have mates from Ireland visiting. However it may indeed be sold to placate her indoors, why you keen?

Mixed opinions.

I doubt it matters much. I switched to Motul 10w40 7100 after 200 miles. Runs like a champ!

Everyone has a different opinion, i switched to Rotella T6 Syn at 2K.

I have used the same for 25k on the ZZR1200 with no issues

Had the bike for a week now commuting daily, was weird getting used to the upright seating position after the ZZR1200 but now I like it. It is way more nimble and seems slightly faster than my other bike. So far very happy with my purchase and looking forward to hitting up the foothills this weekend.

Glad you like it wazzaone! I'm digging mine too. Very awesome
