I have posted a picture to help you understand and identify the same...

The unit shown in the center of picture is the Thermostat

Checking can be done by replacing the part...If the part is not available, then you can remove it from inside the housing and run without it , till you get it...This will mean that your engine coolant will flow freely through Radiator and Temperature will come up very late...due to this your FE may become low...no other ill effects..

Thanks for the pointers psr ji.. Will check it out the same!

Kawasaki Ninja 250R - bike parts and accessories

Friends, from where do you source your bike parts and accessories other than the authorised service centers (ASC)? Unlike other Indian bikes, it is not easy to get parts for the N250 at most shops. Appreciate if riders who have had their bikes for a few years post the places from where to get the parts and how frequently does one need to change them. I have recently got a pre-owned N250 that is 4 years old and would like to know which parts need to be replaced as part of preventive maintenance. I intend to use this bike for long rides and hence would not want to encounter a break down at a place where there is no ASC.

The sc guys now have rectified the issue by changing the thermal sensor n the relay. Now the radiator fan starts to run when the temperature reaches 85 degree but now the problem is temperature gauge needle shows above off the mark even after the radiator fan cools down the temp and the fan stops after cooling. Usually at constant riding without frequent stops the temperature gauge needle will be fluctuating around 30 to 40 % in the meter. Now its always above 50 % but I could feel the engine heat is lesser than before and they says the meter might be at fault!

Re: Kawasaki Ninja 250R

Even after with non stop constant riding between 70 to 90 kmph, the temp needle stays as in the pic shown above. But I cannot feel the over heat from the engine and it seems to be normal!

Thanks. I will try to check that. The problem is that the bike is not starting up and the PBK service guys are not willing to come to my house to check. I am not sure if I should try and jerk start the bike in gear. Should I get the starter switch checked from a local mechanic near my house. I stay in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad

Thanks. So push starting a fuel injected bike is not a problem?

As nima said its for emergency purposes not to be done usually. I was just push starting my ninjette for two three days as I had to replace it with a new battery. My bikes battery lasted oly for two years upon good maintenance!

Which battery did you use for the replacement and what was the cost for it?

Thanks Mithungo.

I need to replace my high beam. My low beam had gone kaput, so switched it with the stock high beam. Been contemplating of the Philips Xtreme Vision H4. Any feedback on these? They cost about Rs.1300 a pair. If I get the ones supplied at the service center, would it cost me more? Appreciate any pointers.

I use the extreme vision myself.. It is better than stock. The stock ones are 1500 bucks per piece I guess.
P.S: The dealer for extreme vision is near the Tunga paradise hotel, Andheri East . I guess you will get a 10% discount on the MRP if you buy from them.
