New Member picking up a 500r
Hey all. Thought I'd drop in and pick up a bit of knowledge and knowhow about my bike before I get it. I'll most likely be picking up a 500r between 03 and now. I've got my gear and license already after taking the CHP riding coarse so I'm good to go. It will mostly be a daily driver / backup vehicle for my car whenever I'm working on it. I did a quick search on the 500s and it looks like all I'll most likely do performancewise is upgrade the shocks to fit my weight. Thanks.

Welcome to the forums! There is always some mods to do, but some rides are just not as common for the buck to modify.

no worries. my girlfriend is a midget. well. not really, I'm just a good 10" taller than her so it seems like it. thanks for the welcome. I think the most I'll be doing with this bike modwise is the suspension upgrade and cleaning up the fairing's decals and such.
and dragone#19 I know all to well what you mean about mods for the buck. modding certain cars dont yield the same bang for buck as others. haha

Let me be the first to welcome you to KF. I'm not, but there isn't much I could do about that. Anyway, enjoy your Ninja and keep the wheels down!
