Hello from Spain!

Hi! I´m a newcomer to the two wheel world, I´m still waiting to take my final driving test (average waiting time for it here is around 3-4 months, it´s already been 3 so can´t be much longer!).

In the meantime, i bought some cheap bikes which need fixing, and between them there´s the 2010 Ninja 250R Fuel Injected, which is the one i´m planning to keep for quite a long time. The most mechanically inclined thing I had done was changing my car´s oil and filters by myself, and now I´ve been able to tear down a yamaha SR 250, change the brake line, carburate it, adjust the valves, etc etc etc.

So I´m pretty hyped about working on the ninja and fixing the issues I´ve found(FI light comes on at high RPM, codes 24 and 25,ticking noise at idle starting after 15 seconds and a slight oil leak on the head cover gasket).

TBH it´s definitely scarier seeing all those cables and stuff compared to the yamaha :S

Anyway, thank you all for being such a supportive community, see you around!

thanks!

Thank you guys! I´m going step by step, diving in the forum trying to find the info I need before making any post, it´s huge!

Also, I know it´s usually discouraged to buy a repair needing bike as a first, but having no license and having to unavoidably wait for my test, I´d much rather go through the process of learning to work on bikes myself and getting the accomplishment feeling of having fixed them than having a ready to ride bike and not being able to drive it cuz no license
