Kawasaki Ninja 250

The Kawasaki Ninja 250 (the EX250 "Ninja 250R") is a discontinued 249 cc liquid-cooled motorcycle with a 6-speed gearbox. UltimateSpecs (2008 model year) lists 21.7 Nm @ 10000 rpm maximum torque, single-disc brakes at both ends, a 110/70-17 front and 130/70-17 rear tyre, an 18.16 litre fuel tank and a 151 kg dry weight. Displacement (249 cc) confirms this is the catalogued Ninja 250, distinct from the separately-catalogued Ninja 300 (296 cc) — a plain "ninja" URL slug was found to redirect toward Ninja 300 pages and was not used.

About the Kawasaki Ninja 250

Overview

The Kawasaki Ninja 250 is a motorcycle from Kawasaki. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 249 cc engine it sits in the 150–250 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 249 cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled carburetted engine that makes 21.7 Nm of torque at 10,000 rpm. Peak torque comes high up, at 10,000 rpm, so it rewards revving. Its bore is wider than its stroke (62.0 x 41.2 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

Its frame is Semi-double cradle, high-tensile steel. Braking is by a 260 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear. It rides on 17-inch wheels — 110/70-17 at the front and 130/70-17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 780 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It is 2,080 mm long, with 1,389 mm between the axles. It carries 18.16 L of fuel.

Care notes for this model

Being carburetted, it benefits from an occasional carburettor clean, especially if it has stood unused.

Owning the Kawasaki Ninja 250

    Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.

Maintaining the Kawasaki Ninja 250

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Single disc, 260 mm and Single disc, 220 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 110/70-17 / 130/70-17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Kawasaki Ninja 250 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
