How many miles are on the bike? Why do you think the carbs need to be cleaned? I've got over 15,000 on my Rebel and at every oil change I put an oz or 2 of gumout in the tank. The bike runs like new.

Guess I should have given a little history about the bike. I just bought the bike with 229 miles ...

A shout out to the Minnesota Riders!!

I need your help locating a respectable motorcycle shop in the Northwest Metro area. My 2003 Ninja 250 needs to have the carbs cleaned. There’s a shop in Fridley called A & M Cycle that I’ve done business with before and have been really happy with the service ...

2003 Kawasaki Ninja 250 Frustrations!

I posted a thread a couple weeks ago regarding a Ninja 250 I bought for commuting to and from work. Yes it’s a “chick bike” but it’s a lot of fun to ride. The bike had 226 miles on it and obviously it had been sitting most of its life. The previous owner stated ...

Hello all,

Need your advice with a couple things. I just bought a 2003 Ninja 250 that had only 229 miles on it... not even broken in yet. When I was speaking to the lady who I bought it from, she mentioned that it didn't want to idle correctly. She described that the bike would only run with the ...

I just bought a Ninja 250 for commuting to work. I've owned a lot of bikes over the years and the Ninja 250 is a fun bike to ride! So light... it's like riding a pedal bike with a motor.

Seriously, the bike isn't broken in... my bike had a number of odd behaviors (e.g. the idle speed was impossible to set, jumping 300RPM at times) that went away after 1000 miles or so.

Call me biased but I LOVE IT! Man that's hot!

Great lil' bike! Amazing how many people want to buy one.

Good question! I'm suprised that more people don't ask this question.

I once owned a 1994 Yamaha FZR1000. The bike had a stock 180 rear tire. A lot of people changed it to a 170 rear.

I also owned a 2001 Yamaha R1. The bike had a stock 190 rear tire. Some riders switched to a 180 rear.
