I thought I had read where the larger engine came close to reaching the 250's structural weight limit. That, and the fairings had to be modified so they could even be bolted on at all.

Kawasaki used to use black as an accent color, but now they're blending it 50/50 with the primary color of the bike. Not sure I like that, but I love the new razors-edge fairing design they're using.

I'm definitely no insurance expert, and the rules vary from state-to-state, but I didn't think it was possible to have comprehensive coverage, and not have collision coverage.

I love the '06 - '07, didn't like the '08 because of the black headlight surround (easily fixed, I suppose). The '09 - '11 put me off because of those weird guages. The '12 is HOTNESS. I love my...

Well what did everyone think "250" meant? It's a 250 cubic foot engine.

Don't fix it.....get a new one. It'll always be weak.

Additionally, it's really bad for the transmission to be shifting while the clutch is not fully disengaging. Get this issue solved before you do too much more riding.

Ride to the gas station, open the tank and pour ~7oz of Seafoam in. Then add fuel until it's about an inch from the top. Ride until it's as empty as you dare let it get.

000 steel wool is so fine that it won't scratch, and the Scotchbrite sponge is safe for Teflon cookware. Neither have ever done anything to my chrome.
