Hi,I'm 70 yo retired mechanic. Been riding and wrenching for 60 yrs. Have owned 50+ bikes. Just swapped a normalized(uncruisered) VN750 for an 02 ex250. It was a great trade as the VN had been replaced as my everyday bike w an 00 SV650. I recently sold both my FT500 Ascot and Kymco S250 scooter...

Hey everybody, My name's Mike As the title states, I'm new to the forum and need some help. Let me start out as saying I just purchased my first real bike, it's an 03 250r. I say it's my first REAL bike because I have been riding one of those 150cc ROMA scooters that look like a small ninja...

Hey everyone, Bought a 2010 Ninja 250r FI to replace my Aprilia Mana as I really hated that thing. I originally bought it as a commuter and didn't think I'll be impressed by it at all................... Boy was I wrong, It actually surprised me, a lot of power for a 250 and the...

I just purchased a 2012 Ninja 250. It did not come with an owners manual. I noticed yesterday, that underneath the seat cowl there is an opening that has exposed fuses. My question is does this opening need to be covered? I had a strap for a seat bag tied near this that I removed and think...

Howdy! Newbie to the riding scene and my obsession of cafe racers had me pull the trigger to start. Road a bit in my teens; cause of my lack of riding skills I signed up for a riding course, which begins in March :ohyaaa and bike soon to come. Matter of fact, I could be purchasing a 05 kaw 250...

Hello all, I'm new to the forum. I have been riding most of my life and I have a few bikes. I am looking to get into track riding and the Ninja 250 would be a perfect start. Ideally I'd like to find a 2008+ bike in decent condition to start with. Looking forward to learning as much as I can here!

I finally got to this forum via the Motorcycle app. I assumed that once I registered for the Kawi forums that my login would work here as well. Why don't they make it more clear that the forums they advertise have nothing to do with their own forum? I still am working on posting pics. That's the...

Hi, I am glad to find this forum! I recently (this week Monday) bought my first Ninja, my first bike, and still practicing before I hit the road. I got my license few weeks ago, but I am not quite sure whether I am fully ready physically and emotionally, so just keep practicing in a parking lot...

So its my first bike not for the wifey. Used basically for commuting ( gas prices in mia). Started riding love it. Its forgiving it has enough power to get around trouble (foreign drivers). Love it comfy, fast enough in traffic, good mpg. Want more powerband, and bagage.

hi everyone got my 2009 blue ninja 250r with 2500 miles. first ride, first bike , i enjoy it no mods , only the last owner put the seat cowl, but i removed it because i think, it`s missing the rubber for the center, so the seat cowl could move. I put back the rear seat on it. If someone has...
