I recently purchased a 2010 ninja 250r with 3400 miles.

The issue is that it runs very slow.. Ive owned three 08-up ninjas in the past and they didn't run this slow.. It almost feels like a slipping clutch in car because the rpm's will jump when I WOT and the bike is very slow to gain speed.
Is it possible for a bike to have a 'slipping clutch'?

I paid 2400 for the bike, which Is a pretty darn good deal here in Austin TX.
Now Im thinking it was too good to be true.

I bought it from the original owner, and he said he changed the oil ONE time at 1800 miles. Should I change the oil again now at 3400 miles??
I just bought the bike yesterday. The motor sounds good. No knocking, no ticking, sounds like new, and idles great.
Any suggestions?
