    bike fell over, now acting funny (carbureted)

    2007 Kawi ZZR-600 (Carbureted). Bike fell over in the driveway this morning (was not running). Started up fine and rode it to work, nothing unusual. 8 hours later at work I started it up fine again, but after rolling the choke off I realised it was idling very low (1k vs the usual 1.5k), and...

    Bikes starts but dies, after sitting for a week

    So my ninja 250 sat for about 5 full days (easily the longest its gone without starting since the winter). Never once has it had trouble starting. But today I tried starting it and each time it would start (weakly) and then the rpms would drop and it would stall after a second or two. This...

    Front brake slippage?

    Purchased a new bike recently (2007 ZZR600). Yesterday I noticed a very unstable bobble/shake feeling while braking (only tested at low speeds). The more I slow down the more pronounced it becomes. Today I tested some more and I'm fairly certain that I'm feeling slippage in the brakes. At a...

    Ninja 250 screeching noise on startup (video)

    My 2012 Ninja 250 started making this noise on warm starts recently: https://youtu.be/n3AVd2Gtfbk Other than the awful noise it still starts and runs just fine. Any hints as to what it is?

    Help me identify this bike? (no pics)

    I saw this really sexy sport bike cruising around twice recently, trying to figure out what it is now. One was lime green (kawasaki?). It had two very round tail lights that were close together but not touching. The only thing I got a good look at was the rear, but the styling seemed slightly...

    Can anyone identify these Teknic riding boots?

    Looking for a model name if anyone knows. I suspect they are at least 3-4 years old. Not in great shape but for $20 I figure its worth it, unless its a terrible model.

    Sliding sensation when hard braking?

    Relatively new rider here (~6 months) with a ninja 250 (no ABS). I've felt this a few times when hard braking at both fast and slow speeds. I will do some hard braking and I feel a minor sliding sensation. I say sensation because I'm not convinced that my wheels were actually locking up. I...

    squeaking noise when clutch is disengaged

    Yesterday I heard a pulsating/oscillating squeaking noise coming from my ninja 250 after a warm start. If I’m sitting idle in neutral I only hear it when I disengage the clutch (pull the lever). It’s fairly loud, audible over my stock exhaust. My oil was changed < 500km ago, and the level is...

    terrifying squealing noise coming from bike

    Wednesday I took my bike out for the second time this year. It was about 0 degrees when I left, everything was fine. I parked it for a few hours and then headed home at about -4 degrees. After a couple minutes of riding I heard a constant high pitch squeal/whine coming from my bike. If I recall...

    Break-in oil change

    The oil was changed at just under 100 km on my ninja 250. I'm now at 3000 km, and wondering if its necessary to do it again or can I hold out until the very end of the season right before I winterize it (probably by 4000 km)? I feel like the large majority of metal shavings from the break-in...

    Was my Ninja 250R lowered? (Pics)

    Hi, I would like to confirm my suspicion that my 2012 ninja 250 has been lowered by the previous owner. I took pictures of what I suspect are after market parts used to lower the rear of the bike (circled in green). Either way I would like to raise my bike a bit. Can I adjust these so called...

    Dropped bike, more difficult to start?

    My bike (2012 ninja 250) went down last weekend. I had to let it sit for about 15-20 minutes before it started back up. Ever since then it seems like I have to hold the starter for a bit longer than normal before it fires up, even with the recent warm weather (20 degrees+). Before my fall, the...

    Are armoured shirts the way to go?

    First time shopping for gear, jackets specifically. Trying to find a good setup that is flexible for all season, and not hard on the wallet. Buying multiple jackets is out of the question. I heard of armoured shirts, seems like a great idea because I can just throw it under anything I want, or...

    Used 2012 Ninja250 sitting for 2 years, should I be concerned?

    Im looking to buy a used ninja250 from someone who hardly ever rode it, as far as I know it probably sat for 2 full years. They have never performed any maintenance on the bike so I'm worried there could be problems with it after sitting for so long. The owner says it was garage stored both...
