Then you should be fine using a ruler. +- 2mm is easily done with a ruler. Just find the official float height. It should be in one of the wiki's on faq.ninja250.org

When u say + 2mm is that 17.2mm??

choneofakind · August 29th, 2013, 08:16 PM

No I mean that's a range from 15-19. That's what 17 + or - 2 means. That's all dependent on bike. If you can snap the throttle wide open at 2000 rpm and not surge or bog, don't mess with the float height

update discovered something really really normal and kind of dumb on my end, i think the reason why the bike was running like that is due to the LACK OF FUEL IN MY TANK ,yep, i think it was low and i never noticed nor did i switch to the reserve tank......

but imma still switching to the 110 jet and i'll let you guy know how she runs

I see that all the time on here. I'm gonna put "Do you have gas in your tank" as my new signature I think.

Don't second guess yourself though. Your bike is gonna be running like crap til you get the jetting right.

Lol but i understand the proper jet part its gonna take sometime and headaches but it comes with the price of mods..

choneofakind · August 31st, 2013, 08:06 AM

Hahahaha that's alright. It's a rite of passage. We all forget to switch to the reserve or run out of gas etc at some point. Haha

Glad yo found that. I've got my fingers crossed for you that it works as expected now

focus101 · September 7th, 2013, 04:01 PM

ok guys i got her running again buuuttttt, only problems is the rpms are idling high(6000-7000), the float level height is right on the spot, i didnt touch the mixture screws yet, should those be adjusted??

focus101 · September 7th, 2013, 04:26 PM

and btw the idle speed is to the lowest setting and i did change the kill switch starter control but the throttle snaps back like its suppose to. i did mess with the throttle adjuster my the controls, just a tiny bit..

choneofakind · September 7th, 2013, 04:36 PM

Undo your throttle adjustment changes. There should be slack in the cable so the butterflies are always closed, lock to lock.

FvnnyL3tt3r1ng · September 7th, 2013, 06:49 PM

When you're idleing high like that reach down and close the butterflies w/ your hand. If the idle goes down your cable is too tight. Test it again by moving the bars all the way left then right (like chone said lock to lock). If your rpms vary the cable is still too tight.

when i started it the bike idled fine for only 2 seconds when i hit the throttle really quick then it hang again (cold start btw) imma disconnect the throttle bracket can see if that lowers it if it does, then i know its a cable issue..

GREY NINJA · September 8th, 2013, 02:16 PM

you could let it idle while on the center stand and move the handlebars from side to side to see if the idle change

quarterliter · September 8th, 2013, 03:27 PM

Ha are you sure that the idle adjustment is at the lowest setting not the highest? And is the choke on or off? Having the choke on makes it idle real high

choneofakind · September 8th, 2013, 07:34 PM

Cold starts are always different. You're supposed to adjust the idle speed when the engine is hot, for just that reason.

So, take it for a nice ride, then worry about the idle speed. Depending on outside temp/humidity/choke/the alignment of the planets/your bike's attitude, starts can be really simple or really picky and terrible.

Thought it may have been that. When I put on my r6 throttle the bike wouldn't start and that's the only thing I had modified. When I bump started it the throttle made the engine rev up to like 8k and then I knew....
