Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

My 2 cents; buy it if they are going to give you a discount. Kawasaki has already started the process of setting up its showrooms and service centre. Its not as if all current Kawasaki owners upto 650cc have been left in lurch. Bikes are still being serviced at Bajaj KTM service centres.

If you are getting a good deal, then this is the time to buy. Normally, Kawasaki does not have any discount available, other than the ER-6 its not been given for any other bike. So if you are getting a discount and are really interested then this is time.

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences


Hmm... the Dealer quoted me 3.2 lakh on road Noida.

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Buy it, fill it, ride it. Forget about thread post increasers who says what they want without actual knowledge of what is happening. The service is definitely going to get better from now. Also see any visual damages on the bike and how many kms it has run. If I were you , I would have already been riding it ...
Considering the thing costs 4L in my home town of Kerala, it suddenly feels VFM comparing it with your case

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Can anyone let me know if BS3 kawasaki Z250 is still available for a discounted price? I am planning to buy it if its still available for 3-3.2 lakh on road price in Bangalore. I guess there is only one showroom now in langford road.

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

All the bs3 vehicles are sold out in Bangalore

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thanks Ivin. Isn't Kawasaki selling Z250 now in Bangalore? If yes, are they BS4? I know they are releasing a 2017 version of Z250 and Z1000 this 22nd. Can you please let me know the service interval for Z250 and ownership costs? (In 2 years I have spent around 9k for service and 4k for tire on my Rs200 which is run 16k km)

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

You will have to wait for the Z250 2017, till 22nd of this month. You will need 2.2L of oil(motul-₹820/L + oil filter-₹634) and cost of service(₹900/no free service) and cost of chain lube. Once every 6k kms is the service after the first one at 1k kms.

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Thanks a lot. I am looking forward to the 2017 version of Z250. If its doesn't cross 3.5 lakhs on road and if its equipped with ABS, I will plan to buy one. Hence asking questions on this thread.

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

No issues, this forum is to help the fellow riders. But, the bike will cost a little over 4L without ABS, and I dont think an ABS model is coming anytime soon

Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hey guys. Picked my Z250 a month back and already done with the first service.

Just love the looks, the bulkiness and colour off-course. Total head turner for sure.

Current reading is 1100km.

Can anyone tell me how much was your first service cost ? I think mine is a bit over to what it should have been.

I'm from East delhi area and haven't seen any Z250 on road in all these years. Still there are 2-3 for sale on olx. [emoji23]

I have a RC390 also, so I'm missing ABS and that mad quick acceleration big time. But yesterday I managed to hit 10,000 - 11,000 RPM and oh boy! Gave me instant grinning smile.
A weekend ride on highway is still pending.

Things I dont like :
ABS!! I call it God ever since I got a RC390 in 2015. And I do not like those mini heart attack that non-abs gives.
Bike is heavy at rear and not easily movable like KTM or any other.
Seats are worst than KTM. Good looking seats but sponge-less.
No gear indicator on console.
Non-Led bulbs everywhere.
Already removed the front registration plate.
Tyres suck! MRF coming soon.


Things I like :
Bulkiness of bike after sitting on it.
17L of tank. Lol! I was living with 10L in KTM.
Front look.
No body ache other than sore bum from seat.


I'll be clocking and learning about bike more. Lets keep sharing things here.

Or believe me! Since there are a very few of this bike on road lets form a Whatsapp group. I'm
Not even a whatsapp group type guy but still saying it. It will keep us in loop to keep track of things.

Inbox me your numbers if you agree.

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hi Sird. Congrats on the Z250. With the price aside, the Z250 is a fantastic motorcycle with brilliant engineering and top class quality parts. Nothing can beat the Z's looks. The 249cc parallel twin engine is extremely reliable and can keep running till the end of the world if maintained properly. First service costs close to Rs5000 (1500 labour + 3500 for parts). The IRC tyres are not that bad, but since you are used to the KTM's Metzeler's you will find the IRC bad.

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

I forget to mention the suspension. Share your experience please.

Please guys be active here!!

The suspension is so hard that to me and my pillion it feels like there is no suspension at all. Man! It is almost useless. Every jerk feels like its a without suspension bike and the chassy is taking all the bump and finally transferring it to your body.

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

May be you are running on higher tyre air pressure. Please check and set your tyre air pressure to recommended psi. I find the ride to be fairly comfortable on our roads.

Re: Kawasaki Z250 Owners Reviews and Experiences

It is the recommended but I'll still check. Thanks for highlighting.

I was at Kawasaki Delhi this afternoon.
Did someone from here banged his Z250 ?
The front and right side was in bad shape. I hope the rider is all fine and running. [emoji1373]
