DescriptionThe whole story▼

Dropping a NINJA 650 off the side stand costs more than it should. LighTech answers it with the STEKA218 — 450 g, two sliders, and a rubber element that is meant to deform. On a NINJA 650 from 2021 to 2026 it bolts to the standard locations without modification.

Key Features

  • Designed around the NINJA 650 specifically rather than adapted from another model
  • Supplied complete with the hardware the NINJA 650 installation needs
  • Magnesium base keeps the overhung mass off the NINJA 650 frame boss
  • Nylon shell with a laser-branded LighTech logo as the STEKA218 sliding face
  • Covers the NINJA 650 across 6 model years (2021 to 2026)
  • Supplied black on black; STEKA218 rings and dampers in other colours are separate items
  • 450 g for the complete STEKA218 kit

Hard Is Not the Same as Protective

Every protector transmits what it does not absorb, and the frame boss is where it lands. The STEKA218 is built so the magnesium bush allows a controlled amount of travel. The nylon shell scuffs first on the NINJA 650 and costs least of the three materials to renew.

Compatibility and Installation

The kit is sold for the Kawasaki NINJA 650 and uses that bike's own mounting points. Installation uses the factory fixings on the NINJA 650; the supplied hardware replaces them.

Materials and Construction

Aluminium gives the STEKA218 ring the surface hardness a slide demands. Behind it, a magnesium bush and a magnesium base keep weight off the NINJA 650 frame mount. What a rigid block sends into the NINJA 650 frame, the 60 Shore element absorbs instead.

Supplied As

LighTech supplies the STEKA218 as a pair with its mounting hardware for the NINJA 650. A worn STEKA218 is renewed at the element, not at the kit.

Installation

Nothing beyond basic workshop tools is needed to fit the STEKA218 to a NINJA 650. Thread-locking compound is sensible on a NINJA 650 that sees track use. The STEKA218 comes Black and only Black on the NINJA 650.

Type Approval

LighTech does not issue approval papers for the STEKA218, and neither do we. Whether the fitted position is acceptable on a road-registered NINJA 650 is the inspector's call, not ours. If the NINJA 650 is used on track only, none of this applies.
