Finally jumped in and bought my first bike. Kid that had it before did not take the greatest care of it as far as regular maintenance goes but she’s a solid little runner. Awesome first bike imo. So far I’ve done the 250 rear shock swap, ditched the garbage Amazon slip on’s for the factory cans (punched out the center of the baffle) and the FOG mod. I will be swapping the fork springs for some race tech 0.90’s, i weigh 215lbs, and tossing some fresh seals in as the right leg is leaking. Happy riding dudes!

I've had many, many bikes, but the Spirit of 93 will never leave my stable. Love the EX500.

Saw someone post their 500 wanted to add mine. Been lurking for a while.

2007, originally bought for 600$. I’m another +600$ in now and don’t plan on being done working on it for a while.

I’m really missing riding and I hate seeing her just sitting in storage.

My 07, it’s my second bike (upgraded from a 2000 250) and I love it, currently have it stripped down for the winter cause it needs some work

Most people shrug it off for the styling, but I’ve never spend a better $1000 then on this 2003 ninja 500. A classic style that was around for over 30 years. Would love some tips from any ninja 500 riders. ATGATT!

Did my maintenance today. Oil change, chain clean and lube, front pads, change the brake fluid front and rear. Now I’m going to ride it 👍🏻

Fixed carb needles and floats, now it's pissing out the carb itself rather than the overflow tube

Hey guys. A few months ago someone clawed my key hole. Now I shaped it back I can't turn the bike on. It cranks and has great compression. It ran perfectly before. I must not be getting spark or fuel somehow. Any ideas on what to check? Thanks!
Update: guy had cut some ignition wires hoping to hot wire the bike. After some soldering bike started right up. Thanks for the help gents!
