One of my older bikes (think it was the Yamaha XV920 or the Virago) had a "Prime" setting on the petcock....a glaring oversight on the Ninja. Very handy for synching carbs too.
I don't have any trouble getting the 250 started, but it has an annoying habit of speeding up after 10-20 seconds of running where I want it (somewhere between 2000-2500). During a 5-minute warmup, it speeds up 3-4 times. I come back out to the garage to find it screaming away at 3500-4000. I know...that speed is nothing to that engine...it's just loud and annoying in my garage. I miss the ability to push the start button and walk away.
