Random question about rejetting, and the people who choose to do it...
From the little I understand rejetting is basically something people do, when they want to trade off fuel economy, for more HP.
But if you wanted that sort of thing.. why didnt you just buy a Kawi ninja500 in the first place? :icon_confused:
lol its more if you like playing around with a bike, upgrading exhaust or airfilter n stuff then the fueling is no longer correct and unless you rejet for it to run properly you risk damaging things, the power you gain is just an added bonus

You can rejet a bone stock GS, they are lean from the factory (emissions)....so is the Kawasaki Ninja 500 :whisper:
They don't make a naked Ninja 500, and it's cheaper to rejet for performance upgrades/proper functioning than buy another bike.
I am a modder. I modify things. nothing remains stock, ever. basic modifications like air filters and exhausts cause the bike to run lean... thus a re-jet is required.
also, these modifications can improve fuel economy... you need less throttle to make enough power to maintain a speed. the key is keeping out of the throttle, which is damn near impossible for those of us with the mod bug.
