Ah yes, 08-12 FI 250s would be in European and Asian markets then.

In which case, add to top of your list carbs, petcock and tank inspection. If it’s been sitting for more than 3-months, count on full carb refurb. Not just to clear clogs (spray carb-cleaners no longer work), but also plan on replacing all rubber hoses, seals and O-rings in petcock and carbs simply due to age. Luckily for you, ducatiman, the god of carbs, is located near you in NY. Does very comprehensive refurb & restoration work on carbs & petcock with extremely reasonable rates and quick turn-around.

Also this model has “positive neutral finder” feature that makes it easy to put into neutral at stop. Lots of people get mixed up and think transmission is broken because it won’t shift out of neutral into 2nd gear. Some people have even removed engine and split cases and pulled apart transmission to fix. But this is “feature” and bike is working as intended. It wont go into 2nd-gear unless rear-wheel is spinning.

I’ve owned all variety of bikes and have found that Honda and Kawasaki makes the most-reliable and durable bikes. They can take A LOT of neglect and abuse and keep on going. If they’re well-maintained, they last forever!
