    Re: Kawasaki Ninja 250R

    Hey everyone,

    I have suddenly started feeling something wrong with my N250. 15000+ kms now. Last week, it started getting heated up, though I was not riding in traffic. But the temperature bar did not go into the red zone. But in the last three four days, I have started feeling the heat, which is abnormal.

    Another issue is, yesterday, I felt the engine knocking in the first gear. That's the first time. It doesn't happen every time though. When I pull from a stand still in the first gear, it feels like knocking. No problem in any other gear. It doesn't stall either

    Also, the lights seem to flicker(like in an AC circuit).

    Attaching two video links below.

    Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

    when i went to the service centre, they told me that the rear shock needs to be replaced, as the "shock has become weak" or "the spring has become weak" or something to that effect.

    I told him to increase the stiffness setting, to which he tells me that it will make the system worse.

    has anybody else faced this problem?
    Since the shock is too expensive in india thru the service centre, i am thinking of ordering it online. any suggestions on that?
    I do not think that 22k kms is the life for the rear shocker, until and unless you do too much of offroading, which i think you don't.

    For service centers this is the perfect time to mint money out of your pocket. i would suggest ask one of your fellow N300 rider's to take a test ride and check for the difference. if the rear shock become bad , the rear part of the ninja sits lower compared to others if you keep them side by side.

    Am in for a tyre change on my Ninja. Some research has led me to finalize on two options
    1. Michelin - Pilot street, which is a bit above my budget at the moment but offers the best
    2.MRF REVz - fits my budget and need perfectly

    But, the dilemma is, while Michelin offers 140-70/17 at the rear, which I think wouldn't be problem, MRF does not offer 140-70/17 in REVZ series (Zapper has 140-70/17), rather its 140-60/17.
    The front is 110-70/17 though. That will not be good (110-70/17 in front and 140-60/17 rear)

    I don't do track days. City and highway rides are what I am looking at.

    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.
    I use the mrf for the front, though not as same as michelin but since i use mostly for street only not a problem. MRF should have a 140/70 17 for rear as it fits the R15 also .. try searching the shops.

    i think your shocker is leaking..
    is there oil coming out from the oil seal?

    I use the Indiranagar svc as well. But these days I have to send a KA bike as pilot vehicle ahead.

    Hopefully will give an update on the Whitefield svc in a few months.

    Mithun, have been using the 250 since October 2011 and haven't had issues with the RTO
    But yeah i am always on the look out for the RTO uniforms

    I mainly use the 250 only for long rides and outstation trips

    Have a 2004 Electra for going to office and short errands (In the process of paying the Karnataka tax)

    I am due for an oil change and maybe a chain sprocket kit change in another 800 kms. Planning to visit the Marathalli KTM / Kawasaki service center

    Will update you guys on my experience soon

    Recently i heard the one in Marathalli next to KTM showroom is really good

    I am planning to go there next time. I have done about 6 services at the Indranagar service centre. Sometimes they do an awesome job and sometimes it is just so so..
