I love small bikes, I always wanted a 250 Ninja when I was younger, my best friend and I had a plan to buy a pair and ride down the coast to California.

He got married and started having kids. I bought a 1986 Ninja 1000R instead.

About a dozen bikes later I finally got a Green 2009 Ninja 250 basket case.

A tank flush. A new petcock. A carb cleaning. A new battery. Got it running.

It was pretty hacked with a cheap Amazon tail light, a cheap eBay exhaust, no signal lights. The bodywork is from a 2010 250R, not that there’s any difference.

It runs now. Probably needs some tuning. Got a stock rear tail light and signal assembly installed tonight. I’ll probably get it all assembled and test ride it by the end of the week.

Welcome to the forum! And glad to see another rider bringing dead ninjas back to life!
