does anyone have problems starting there motorcycle in the cold? i have a 250 ninja and when it is cold it will not start. i have to keep hitting the starter. i am worried i am going to mess up the starter.

 

Open the choke.

Don't open the throttle while it's warming up.

How cold is cold?

 

not to cold like in the hight 50 i live in AZ and the only time that i have the propbelm is in the mourning and at night

I'm pretty sure the EX250 has a choke. Something to enrich the fuel mixture, since it's carb'd.

 

the choke worked great. the bike started right up this mourning! i never thought to open it before i started, i used to open it after i started it. i guess my brain dont work first thing in the mourning. thanks for the tips guys

 

Yeah with small Kawasakis that choke can do wonders. Have it all the way down when start up then move it forward when the rpms pick up.

 

Turn the choke off before you ride, after the engine has warmed up.

 

I think most 250's have the crappies choke adjustment or Carbs I rember I took the MSF class and it was like low 60 maybe 50's in the morn and it took forever to warm the bike up and the chokes where so nasty. After that expierence decided FI is the way to go.
