Hi all, I am a new rider and I just purchased my first bike, a 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250R. When I bought this bike, it ran just fine for the first day. It seemed to not want to start at first, but it was most likely because of how cold it was (this is a carbureted bike) or the battery being...

I was thinking about purchasing this 2008 Kawasaki ninja 250r with only 4,500 miles hes sorta wrecked it and he states the shift lever is stuck in 6th gear due to the kick stand frame being bent and it wont let it down. Could this be fixed for a reasonable price and would it be worth messing...

After a month of staring at the Ninja in my living room, I decided to take it out to hear the new Vance and Hines slip on I installed. That was supposed to be it. About 1 minute later, I decided to sit on it while it was running. 30 seconds of that and I was pulling the clutch in, shifting into...

I'm a 19 year old male college student. I will be paying for my college after I graduate, I currently own a car but my parents pay for it since I pay for my college. I have really wanted to own a bike for years. I would own a Kawasaki ninja 250r since I have not rode a bike before. My question...

I have a 2005 Ninja 250r and discovered a nail in my rear tire :mad: Instead of patching or plugging, I have decided to just get a new rear tire. Maybe a front also. I have found 2 kinds of tires that are the right sizes. The Dunlop K630, and the Metzeler Feelfree. Which do you think would be...

I don't even have a bike yet. I went and sat on three bikes todaya Kawasaki ER-6N, a Suzuki Gladius, and a Kawasaki Ninja 250R. The Gladius "felt" the best to me. I would have sat on a Versys, but the salesman said that the seat was 1.5" higher on that bike. I'm only 5'7". So, I was barely...

I'm just getting ready to buy my very first bike. I've got nothing wrong with the Ninja 250, and I would love to start on it, but I'm very questionable. I am almost 5'11 and 180 pounds, and after sitting on one at the dealership I remember my knees were up pretty high on it. To me it seems like...

Hey all, my first bike is going to be a hand-me-down from my father, an '83 Honda XL250R that's been sitting in our garage. It is impeccably clean and has only a few thousand miles on it, but I don't think he has turned the engine on for 15 years. I just brought it out into the sun and...

I'm most likely getting over my head with this, but I felt like asking some more experience guys. I'm interested in a 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250R: sporty, looks amazing, and not the fastest bike out there. The thing is, I've never been out on a bike. YES, why even ask a question like this, but I'm...

first off i don't know a whole heck of a lot about bikes so b patient with me lol... whenever i start my bike in neutral it will run fine, but after i shift into first and let go of the clutch it will die unless i hold the clutch about halfway... i mean i can drive it but it is very difficult to...

Unfortunately, I have very little experience on bike. After I get more experience and get all of the proper documents I plan on buying a...

Hello, i heard that the ninja 250r has high rev while going approx. 65+ mph. I understand it is because this is a low cc motorcycle, but do you think this will have much effect on the mileage life of it?
