Hey guys! I just bought an 09 250. And it seems to be having some issues. I took it to a mechanic and was told that the front forks were leaking fluid onto the front brake rotor. I was also told that some thing is wrong with the clutch, because I had just bought and had them install a new clutch...

We recently purchased a 1987 Ninja 250r. She is in pretty bad shape but after a new coil and some patience she turns over and rides nice. other than a slap that we have pinned down to the cam tensioner and chain there are no major mechanical problems. Now seeing as how she was previously owned...

I got an 05 ninja 250 with 9400 miles about a month ago, did a oil change a couple days ago vans now my clutch is shifting funny. Up shifting is a little clunky and some times down shifting it wants to stick. Any ideas? Droid Bionic

Hi, My name is shafia I got my 09 250r in august and didn't have much riding in the fall. Now that its a lot warmer I am riding a little more. Today I noticed something In traffic my rpm gradually increased as I was at the same speed as the engine got warmer. 40MPh at 4.5 turned in 40MPh at...

Ok, so here's the deal. I bought a 02 ninja 250 w/ 10k miles on it. Fairings we're ok, and bike ran decent (for a few months). Started getting sluggish so decided to do a complete tear down of engine/carbs/fuel tank. Put new pistons/rings and gaskets in engine, rebuilt the carbs and had the tank...

I just started riding for the first time today on my first motorcycle last which is a sweet 07 250r and I feel pretty good on how I've been doing. My only problem so far is at stop signs turning right. I try to stay in my lane but keep going into other lanes.. I don't have any problems turning...

Hi I recently bought an EX250, I happened to be doing quite well at the time and, living in NZ, we got the new fuel injected model this year so after about 3 weeks of reading up, asking questions and watching reviews I decided to pay the extra money (and the only part of me that regrets it is...

So I was on the highway tonight doing 120kmh, and my speedometer stopped working (light went out as well) then as I was pulling off the highway the light on the gas gauge went out as well (but gauge still worked) and the ninja made a loud squealing noise as I slowed down. I put the bike into...
