Hi everyone,
I don't usually post, I just read what all of you have to say...
but anyways I picked up a 95 Ninja 250 (MSF! GEAR! INSURANCE!) about a month ago and have been riding it with no problems until this last week. If i push the bike on the freeway - usually on my 6 mile of freeway ride to work - sometimes the throttle will just start cutting out, kinda like running out of gas. Once, when i got off at my exit, the bike stalled when i came to a stop, wouldnt start for about a minute, tried it again and it started right up. I rode it home that day fine on surface streets at around 50 mph.
Also, it seems to have gotten a deeper tone to the exhaust since this has happened (twice now).
Anyone have any ideas of what it could be?

 

clean the carbs!

thats what i was gunna say... also check the float while your at it and check the bowl to see if its flooded with petrol.....GL

 

I've owned a 250 for three years now, I've always had the same problem. I've never been able to pinpoint the problem, but my best hypothesis is fuel starvation. It's never really bothered me because I never take it on the interstate and I'm planning on getting a new bike.

 

I have/had this problem. Mine was the vent hoses were being kinked, check that especially the one from the carb

 

Your carbs are all gummed up buddy.. get them cleaned, and make sure they jets look ok! Check the float height level and all that, and clear out the hoses as well.
