I might be a newbie but I’ll make this train wreck run.
Hey everyone! Recently was gifted a (pretty awful condition) 2004 Ninja 250r from my moms friend. After looking at it the first time (realizing I’m REALLY out of my depth on this one) I decided to stick it out and bring this baby back to life. It’s got a tonne of problems so far which lead me here(y’all have saved my ass way too many times already).
Possible problems for those curious at my misfortune: Won’t shift past 1st gear Mufflers had an angry angle grinder taken to them “like-new” iron oxide chain Holy **** that’s a lot of spiders There was a black widow on the battery(got got by a friend) No keys Wish me luck y’all. 🤣 |

Welcome to the forum, Frank!
* If you're not moving under power when you try to shift from 1st to 2nd, it won't. It's a "feature" (the easy neutral finder). * You may find stock exhaust parts on the used market. * You will almost certainly need to completely disassemble the carburetors and clean them, per this: https://n4mwd.blogspot.com/2013/10/s...-passages.html * I like RK chains for their blend of quality and reasonable price. |

Spiders are so cool! They eat pesky bugs that annoy you, like flies, mosquitos, etc.
Your transmission won't shift into 2nd because it's broken! ![]()

There's an anti-hotwire resistor built into the ignition switch. If you replace it, you'll want to get a genuine Kawasaki part, or make sure to add your own resistor with a generic switch.

for keys, remove helmet lock and get key-code from it. <letter>+<4 digits>
Send key-code to this outfit and get 2 brand-new keys for $21 https://www.cyclekeysonline.com Having original keys is handy so it works on gas-cap and helmet lock as well |
