New here

Hi, new here, not new to forums or bikes, but new to the Ninja 250.

I love small bikes, I always wanted a 250 Ninja when I was younger, my best friend and I had a plan to buy a pair and ride down the coast to California.

He got married and started having kids. I bought a 1986 Ninja 1000R instead.

About a dozen bikes later I finally got a Green 2009 Ninja 250 basket case.

A tank flush. A new petcock. A carb cleaning. A new battery. Got it running.

It was pretty hacked with a cheap Amazon tail light, a cheap eBay exhaust, no signal lights. The bodywork is from a 2010 250R, not that there’s any difference.

It runs now. Probably needs some tuning. Got a stock rear tail light and signal assembly installed tonight. I’ll probably get it all assembled and test ride it by the end of the week.
