If it will fit in the space can I stick a larger carb on my bike?

There is nothing wrong with a Ninja 250 as a first bike and they are a blast at the track. My son raced one and it was a blast to see him pass liter bikes all day.
They will break 110mph down hill with the wind to your back and can get to 90mph relatively quickly for a 250; if you ring its neck.

Engine rebuild: cylinders and rings--lubed or dry?


Not to mention if this is your first bike YOU WILL DROP IT.
Why drop a nicer more $$ bike. Get the drops done to the cheapo and upgrade when you get board. Another thing nice about the ninja is the resale value is stable. You can ride it for 1-2 years and resale it for $500 less than you paid.

How do i clean my carb on a bike its been standing for 2 years?


The bike has been dropped; 90% chance. That really does not matter. What does matter it the frame. Make sure it is straight. Also check the wheels for visual damage (bent lip, not round). Then, does it start and does it run well? That is about it. These are bullet proof bikes as long as you put oil in it.

what should i get?


For $2500 this bike should be VERY clean. I would shoot for 2k but $2500 is not unrealistic for a clean well maintained bike.

can any motorcycle rider handle a 1800cc honda Gold Wing regardless of experience?

First of all, a Ninja 250 may not be the best choice, even as a starter bike. If you intend to ride in real traffic and the freeway, you're going to really be at a disadvantage - consider a 500cc bike at a minimum. My first and only bike is a VFR800, which I bought 6 years ago - and I don't think I'd have been happy with anything smaller than a 600cc.

I have a Kawasaki Zephur 550 and the side stand sensor keeps making the engine stop when I let the clutch out?


That being said, if you're convinced the 250 is the right bike for you for other reasons, the price does seem high to me unless it's a very recent model year.

Straight pipes do you enjoy your negative attention?


On a sportsbike, check for any scrapes or damage to fairings, bar ends and casing which may be a sign it's been down more than the seller is telling you. Check for signs of oil leaks with a flashlight along the bottom of the fairings. Try to check out the bike first thing in the morning to see how it cold starts. If in doubt, try to get the services of a motorcycle mechanic to go with you, even if you have to pay him $50 or $100 to check the bike out first.

Cons of riding a motorcycle?


Best to you.

Can you start racing motocross with a 250cc if you never rode before?

I wouldn't do it, I would buy a newer one for around the same price. I myself have a ninja zx6r, and it's pretty good, I got it new for about 35 thou. The 500 miles, I wouldn't do that, If it were around 250 miles, I would probably do it. But if I were you I would check it out myself and then have a professional check it out before I buy it, that's what I did with mine, just to make sure the engine was alright, and everything else. But I wish you luck with it.

find kawasaki super 6 250 motor bike?

That is a little high. I learned to ride on a 2003 ninja, 250 brand new. I bought it for 3200, then sold it for two grand with 325 miles on it, less then a year later. You can talk them down.

i have a 4-stroke bike cbz (india) and i want to ask that can i use thinner/sprit with petrol as fuel ?


Check for any scrapes. It sounds like it was a beginner bike for the previous owner, they probably dropped it a few times, I did. I never layed it down. Check that the brake handles, and foot pegs, make sure they aren't bent. Also check that the fading in the turn signals is identical, side to side. Sometimes someone will drop a bike that is stored outside and only replace what is broken, while the other side is faded. Also ask for the records for the break in oil change and so on. Any maintenance records are always good.

Is it better to powder coat or paint motorbike bits? like frame/wheels as I'm restoring a Suzuki GSXR 250?


You might wanna vheck out for any scrap marks. Ant temporary repair works / mods. Dont let the paintwork fool you. Use a dry cloth and try running over the gaskets/seals to check for leakage.
Also try starting the bike and look out for chattering or banging or clanking on noise. Give the bike a couple of on and offs, just to see if it starts well and properly without choke. Tryt test riding if possible.
