I couldn't find a page describing how many hours this would take in the Clymer manual???

its cool. i ordered the haynes manual last week, so it should be arriving shorty. its 1 problem after another with this thing

Stay with it...Once you get this bike together, it's pretty bulletproof. Just takes the right maintenance.

thats what ive been hearing. but it has a screwy fuel problem now along with the massive coolant loss/overheating. im debating about sucking it up and just taking it to a shop.

Wait for you manual, it has troubleshooting sections for the parts.

i got the manual yesterday. not as in depth as id have hoped (have the haynes for my old car when i did a total engine rebuild). but havent had time to go through everything yet. so hopefully there's something i missed that the book covers

it might take about 2to 3 hours to do it on your bike it took me about 3 hours to my truck

i figured out the HG was good. i could do them on my old car in about 50min from start to finish. (had LOTS of practice. haha), but im glad the ninja doesnt need it swapped. lol
