congratulations navi's_ninja ! Happy Motoring :-) ... the 38 days must have been tough! It's only 30 days since I booked and it feels like eternity! Congrats again!Originally posted by navi's ninja View PostAfter 38 days of Hard wait I got my Green Ninja 250R on Jun 28th around 5 PM. Best hour of my life. I have a quick question on the run in period PBK guy said, till 500 kms the RPM gotta be 4- 5K, then till 1000 Kms, its gotta be 6K-7K. Is this good, or should I go even slower than this. I love riding slow, though she moans good in high RPM(Ya I could'nt resist-- But just Once though
). Ya Low RPM ride is good, cos I get a lot of attention when I ride slow. Also one more rookie question about the common servicing(Yup they are in the Manual ). But I'd like to hear it from the Vetrans here. Please ignore my ignorance.... Will post some Pics soon...Comment

Thanks for all the wishes

Also about the Gear transmission, I tend to shift up the gear pretty soon like right after the 3K RMP.... Will it impact my run in period... I shift really fast up to the sixth Gear in no time... Please let me know if this is bad atlease till the run in period...
Wow first 800 KMs by just 50 KMPH... Its gonna be way tougher that I thought...

Rear Brake Failure!
Hi! Fellow Ninjites,
For the second time in as many months, I experianced failure of my rear brake. Both times, I was doing a healthy speed and the only reason, I did not crash was because I do not rely too much on the rear brake.
The brake pedal simply goes all the way down and there is zero effect of the braking..after a little while, the brake functions normally again.
This is something you do not expect even from a Bajaj or TVS, leave alone a Kawasaki
Did any of you experiance this problem and if yes, what was it diagnosed as?The company I keep:
Yamaha Rx100
Yamaha RD 350 (HT)
Bajaj Pulsar 150
Kawasaki Ninja 250r

Hi navi i have just got my ninnja yesterday, and even i was pondering over the gear shifting , even i tend to move up really fast. Experienced riders can advise perhaps what is the correct technique?Comment

I don't think its bad for the engine but your gearbox might undergo a lot of stress if you shift up so early..Originally posted by navi's ninja View PostAlso about the Gear transmission, I tend to shift up the gear pretty soon like right after the 3K RMP....

Since the prescribed rev limit for first 800 km is 4,000 rpm, you should shift around 3,500 to 3,750 rpm. It would not harm your engine or gearbox.Originally posted by vkavadia View Post

Question, did it happen while riding in rains? Happened to me very recently, while it was the first time in 10 months though, it was the 1st ride in heavy rains. Have not got it checked yet but understood from this forum itself that it could be cause of air in the rear break line, and it has been a frequent problem with the Ninja!Originally posted by Yasser View PostHi!

congrats on the bike bro. Regarding the throttle, don't think you need to really stick to the book. Breaking the engine is no science and you don't have to really stick to the rpm limits. My advice would be to keep at low rpms within the city as you don't want the engine heating up. 7k on highways is absolutely fine. Listen to your bike, she'll tell you what it likes and what it doesn't. Look at the temp gauge...there was a noticable difference for me in how fast the engine used to heat up after about 150kms or so.Originally posted by ninjaboy View PostYes it was me ...my bike had arrived a week before but i was sailing so as soon as i came i got it.

I'm very concerned on hearing about your problem. I've owned a 250R close to 2 years and have ridden over 20k kms on it. I've never experienced it even once. I strongly recommend talking to one of the Service Heads in your location and getting it checked completely. Sometimes we mistake ourselves and it could be a human error too. Think again. If nothing happens on your end, PM me. I'll try talking to the Service Head here. He is a very helpful person.Originally posted by Yasser View PostHi! Fellow Ninjites,
