now, if you don't have a paper fuel filter in line after the petcock and before the carbs you need one ! get one on there before your carbs get plugged up again.
.....
the Ninja does use more fuel than the 250cc singles that is normal and you have to pull the spark plugs in order to do a color check to determine if it is running too rich or not personally, i doubt it is. but it could be. it's more likely that the chokes are not being turned off completely check the slack in the cable and you may have to re-route the choke cable to get the slack you need in the cable to get them to open and close properly .
that would be the first place I check for a rich running Ninja 250....
,,,,
do yourself a favor and never put gas into the bike from a can or gas container, as that is a good way to get junk into the gas tank... fill up at a gas station only !
....
congratulations on your achievement ! that is nothing to sneeze at ! it is a big accomplishment and you can be proud you did it.
the knowledge you learned in doing it, DO NOT FORGET ! as you will need it in the future !
....
Well Done !
