  • Re: Kawasaki Ninja 250R

    Does the N250 emit a humming sound when you turn the key into on position? Most bikes have some typical sound when the ignition is turned on. How does the N250 sound when the ignition is turned on?

      Bikes which are fuel injected emit the humming sound which you are referring to. Its the sound of the fuel pump getting ready to do its job!

            Thanks for clarifying this doubt as I am still trying to get accustomed to my recently acquired pre-worshiped N250.

            Has anyone purchaed MICHELIN Pilot Street Radial tires for the N250 in the recent past from Bangalore? I have inquired with a few tire dealers who informed that there is no stock of these tires for the last 3 months and they are not sure when the new stock will be sent by the company. They also claim that REAR 130/70-17 is not available from Michelin. However, the company website does claim that this tire is available.

            Appreciate if anyone can point where I can source these tires in Bangalore with an indicative price for the front and rear tires.

                Same query here too. Most of the people opt for Pirellis and I have ridden on them for a good 25K kilometers. They are one of the best out there in both dry and wet weather conditions. And I think you can easily source them in Bangalore.

                  My first choice was Pirelli Sport Demon but they are just not available with the dealers to whom I have spoken to. I therefore decided to check out the Michelins. Change my tyre dealer in Bangalore does not have either PSD or MPS.

                    Has anyone installed a fabricated radiator guard for the N250? Can you suggest some place where I can get this done? What materials should I get for this guard and where can I purchase them?

                        Wanna know which spark plug is used in n250 . I was told that its the same used in r15 . Is it true?.
                        If that's the case then buying it from Yamaha svc will cost less ?

                          The ninja spark plug is NGK cr8e, which is the same one used in yamaha r15...

                          The bajaj guy may sell you those for around 350+/- bucks but get the same from yamaha will cost you 100 or so.

                            Any reason why Bajaj overcharges it? It's used in Pulsar-220 DTSi too.

                              I also asked bajaj folks the same question, to which they replied that n250 is a premium bike so a premium price..

                              bajaj hardly makes any money on selling ninja here, but the premium comes from service and repairs.So the charge.

                              They say that the replacement of spark plug is recommended at 12k kms but mine lasted over 28k kms. after that i am running on r15 version of ngk, and they are also performing the same.
