No, it was more of a metal on metal whirring / rotational noise. Exactly like a pad clipping a rotor.

I did front + rear pads myself, and then took my bike today for new tire installation. Bought...

I obtained the bike at 2k miles and by that time it already had 2 owners. I could tell it was cosmetically well kept, but the prior owner knew literally nothing about mechanics, probably riding too....

It's fully flat on the outside. If you were blindfolded you wouldn't feel a thing. It's the weirdest thing, like an interior pressure crack. I'm just learning to live with it. As long as it doesn't...

I bought front and rear pads on Ebay the other day for $12. Yes, the whole set for $12, lol. And they're half decent semi-metallic. They came in today, and I did it myself in 15 min. Regreased the...

Metallic Rotational Whirring Noise - Wheel bearing?

Now that the weather is finally warmer and nicer, I've been cruising more often. If anyone recalls my prior posts about rough idles or hard starts in the cold - I have ZERO issues now that it's...

A few weeks later: Hasn't gotten worse w/ the warm weather. Barely noticeable, so I guess I will live with it. I'm still unsure what caused it but I've seen a few reports of it happening. Oh well.

No garage or storage for your bike? Check out my custom Ninja shed

What's up all. I made another post recently about the 08' Ninja I just got. Since it's my first bike I had no storage for it. I also don't have a garage at my house, go figure. So, I did a lot of...

08 Ninja 250 Cluster Gauge clear plastic (glass?) cracking

I finally minted out my bike, and today, since it's been warmer, I noticed a small crack on the clear plastic or glass that covers my fuel gauge. At first I got mad because I thought someone or...

Tried it w/o removing the headlamp unit, and it sucked. I lined it up rather easily, but it would not retain. It sat flat but bounced around. Is there an easy way to remove the whole assembly?

Well that's good, and bad. I was hoping to jam it in there without breaking anything. Was also hoping to bend the little retainer around or through the heatsink. I guess I will feel it out. What year...

Will H7 LED w/ heatsink / fan module fit an 08 Ninja?

How's it going, a friend of mine just gave me a free set of Ironwalls LED h7 bulbs. Knowing they were h7s, I decided I would try them on the bike. They are your typical LED h7s with the small...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm already itching to get another bike, but for what it's worth, I think the 250 will be worth keeping. It may not be the fastest but it's more than adequate and looks...

New to bikes, Made a simple Ninja 250 Review

Got an 08 Ninja 250 back in Dec, for $2100 and 2k miles. Love the bike, even as a basic starter bike. Can't wait for spring to really start driving. Here's my experience so far:

So incase anyone is interested on a follow up, I'm almost 100% positive my issues were being caused because it was simply "too cold" - as in below freezing. It's my first bike, I get eager, and want...

I think you're right Jim. Maybe that's why the choke barely has any effect, on or off. Or why it's so hard to cold start, bc the "enrichener" isn't fully engaging. The choke lever feels weird when I...

Thanks for the detailed reply. Despite your cold start issues, your engine still ran great when warm? That’s what’s throwing me off. Considering ducatiman is local, there is a high probability I will...

I just saw in your profile you're on the Island too, as a matter of fact 20 min away. I live in Northport, work in Commack. Maybe when it's somewhat nicer out I can pay you to tune up the carb.
