  • senthildsk your bike has a problem. Return your 250R and ask for a ZX6R in return. Threaten them a lawsuit if they dont agree to the deal.

      The radiator fans starts to spin when the temp needle goes up to 75% of the mark. For the bike to stall, did you slip the clutch and/or were you in the correct gear? Did you accidentally turn off the engine via the red kill switch on the right handle bar?

        I think the radiator fan started spinning at some point.... (not sure). Bike jerked for sometime & stopped suddenly. This happened 3 times. I took it Probiking today for a checkup.. They are claiming that everything's fine....& increased the idle RPM...

        I was told that radiator fan starts spinning only after 103 degrees temperature... Is it true ?

        Did anybody faced similar problems? Please share your experiences.


        Thanks

        was there enough petrol(atleast 4 litres) in your bike?? If there is less petrol in the bike then maybe the fi system might have sucked in the air due to which the engine got stalled.

          I guess, the bike should've been in a higher gear.... nothing much happened today... Though the radiator started couple of times..

                is there a possibility that a little water/slush entered your silencer pipe thru the exhaust during this ride when your bike is idilling in traffic? this can also happen if a four wheeler splashes some muck on to your sliencer area. in this case the bike is prone to stall when you give the throttle.

                ninja is not a all terrain vehicle. may need sort of VIP treatment is my opinion. owners are yet to digest the fact that ninja is not a street bike but a track bike which can also be used on the street.

                you are the best judge. thanks for sharing the info senthil.

                  I had an argument on this as there is no mention of the time.....He said sir plz read it carefully it says that if ur riding ur bike and dusty and hot conditions u should get it serviced it in shorter duration....
                  What you guys think about it.....????
                  your engine oil will loose all qualities over time about 6 months for mineral oil, even if the bike is kept idle. this is true for your air filter, break pads,and break oil etc. ( clean,adjust,replace etc as the case may be)

                  get your bike done up. its always the better option of your 3 lakhs + bike.

                    I had faced a problem similar to this. In my case, the bike just vibrated when the radiator fan started. The bike didnt actually stop. Later, Vishwas brother pointed out that it could be due to mud clogged radiator and its fan. I am yet to show it to pro biking guys.
                    I am guessing if we get the bike cleaned and washed properly, this problem should not occur again.

                    More views on it are appreciated.

                    • Unlike the R15, the Ninja does not have a engine cover. So driving thru muck/mud does splash a good amount on the exhaust pipes, the engine block/cylinder etc.

                      Also the front mud guard dones not cover the tyre properly towards the rear half, which causes a lot of mud to be splashed on the radiator in a straight line, bang in the middle of the rad.

                      So you need to wash this muck out ( only when the engine is cool enough ), and it will ensure that your engine runs cooler ( especially the mud on the block/exhaust pipes.

                          its a street bike first and can also be moderately used at the track ! Is what I think of it for it can also be a heavy duty sports tourer in India.

                            Thank you all for the replies.....My guess is the same as yours.... There's a lot of mud splashed around the engine & radiator area...

                            Yesterday, I tried to clean it by spashing water on these parts...(When engine was cold... of course ).... It's stuck like leeches...

                            I'm going to handle it professionaly... I'm planning to buy Bosch Aquatak 100-High pressure cleaner tomorrow . I'm scared of giving it to ordinary car washes...

                              WHAT?????

                              Dont ever ever spray water from a pressure pump on to the radiator. The fins can get damaged and since these fins are made of aluminium they bend and damage very easily.

                              Do this and the fins can bend and block air passage causing more damage than good. You will be looking at a huge repair bill probably even a replacement of the radiator if the damage is severe.

                              Use plain water from a hose to wash the muck away... a very soft brush like a baby toothbrush can be used with mimimum pressure on the fins. If the much still remains, go to the service center.

                                n_aditya..... I'm never gonna spray directly into Radiator....I know they are very delicate.....

                                I'll be covering them with some plastic sheet & clean other parts of the bike... I'll use ordinary hose water pipe for radiator....
