    2009/10 Ninja 250R(s) recalled!

    News: Kawasaki is reportedly recalling the Ninja 250R motorcycle model that bears the ‘2009-2010 model-year’ tag. The recall has been issued due to a detection of a possible oil leak that can be highly hazardous. Apparently porosity in the engine case may allow oil to leak from the engine and get deposited on the rear tire thus increasing chances of a crash.

    I just resent the timing of this news

    News Approved.

    I don't think Bajaj has recalled any Ninja 250Rs which are being sold in India. This might be the case with the pieces available in USA only. We will need to wait and watch, though.

                I think you'll serve yourself better in India by worrying about the oil that is ALREADY ON THE ROAD!

                  Bajaj is carrying out precautionary checks in India. I got my bike checked yesterday. they are pressurizing the crankcase thru the breather, and checking for leaks if any. Though the indian batch is not affected, but this is good pre-emptive checks from their end.

                      This is a welcome news indeed. I presume they are running this check for the newly assembled bikes at their factory and hopefully my bike which is being delivered next week has undergone same.

                        ^^ yup, or else they will carry out the check at the first service, or when the service engineer is available.
