Sometimes there's a reason (other than simple lack of time or interest in riding) that a bike ended up pushed to the back of a garage for a bunch of years.

But even if the oil drain plug threads are ruined it's not that hard to fix. There's plenty of "meat" around the drain plug threads so taping in and installing a large-sized Time-Sert or Heli-Coil or other brand of thread replacement will work just fine. And all of these replacement items are stainless steel so they would be stronger than the original threads.

Beyond that, I really like the color of your EX250. You don't see that silver very often (Kawasaki code 458, Metallic Phantom Silver). I think Kawasaki only used that shade on the 2007 EX250.

I'm partial to silver, I have a 2005 in code 474, Galaxy Silver type #2. The Galaxy Silver wasn't very common either.
