Japanese Custom Culture

Here is an original series "JCC" stands for "Japan Custom culture" written by Webike Japan. There is no doubt that Japan has one of the best and unique custom parts and its culture in the motorcycle industry, but the language barrier has led to the closure of JDM motorcycle culture to the outside of Japan. Through this JCC contents, we present you one of a kind custom and mods bikes by professional craftmen and enthusiasts who just can't stop loving motorcycle.

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "KAWASAKI Ninja250" custom by Webike community user "YOSHIMURA City". The owner wanted a lightweight, full-cowl sportbike so that he switched from a CBR1000RR to this Ninja 250. This bike can handle everything from touring to track riding. And It is also very customizable with a wide variety of parts. To reduce weight, the Magical Racing full cowls kit and Saitaniya carbon tank pads were installed, Moreover the bike's appearance was greatly modified. In addtion, the seat cowl was installed, the exterior atomosphere of this bike when you saw once, you can understand its looks like a racing custom bike. Since this bike is ridden heavily on the track, the stock suspension is difficult to use, so rear suspension was changed to Ohlins's one and the front was TRICK STAR Top Out springs. TRICK STAR Racing has evolved these parts to solve the lack of front ground contact and lack of turning ability, which are common Ninja 250 setting problems, through trial and error, including changing the spring rate and spring length in order to make more effective use of the top-out springs. The JB-POWER magnesium forged wheel JB4 is now used by Factory-backed Kawasaki and Suzuki, and its high performance has been proven in the world motorsports scene, including Moto GP and World SBK. This Ninja250 has also been customized in many other ways that are too numerous to mention here, and its ease of maintenance compared to supersports bikes makes it easy to take on the challenge of DIY. It also can have fun not only for riding but also for customizing.
