my ninja 2fiddy needs an inspection...and could certainly use a tune up...

anybody know of a good place to go or know somebody who knows how to do some tuning up themselves!?

i'm also having some throttle issues under 8000rpms...like a weird popping noise and some major throttle bog going from a stop up until like 3 or 4,000


any help would be great!!!

duey works at Massachusetts Motorcycle ATV Dealer - Riverside Kawasaki, Yamaha,Ducati, Triumph, Scooter, watercraft

but if you take it to any shop/ mechanic you're most likely going to be paying an arm & a leg for a full tune-up, between air filter, valves, & all that other stuff... I dont even know if they actually clean your carbs.

ever thought of doing it yourself? it's pretty simple; u just gotta dedicate the time & do a little research.

is your 250 carbed or fuel injected? sounds like your carbs could use a cleaning & maybe new plugs to start...

i'm going to be talking my carbs apart sometime after next weekend I think for a cleaning & rejet when my exhaust comes in. you're welcome to come by & we can look at your carbs too. I live right by the autozone so we should be good as far as litte things like cleaner & spark plugs.

If you go ask for a tune up at a dealership you'll likely get new spark plugs and a bill for $500. I'm sure there's plenty of people on this site that would do the work for you. Probably just plugs would do the trick, maybe a filter. What does the bike have for milage?

hey is aaron your boyfriend?

he should come over too. we can drink some beers & tinker with motorcyces on my patio.

if u wanna do it that way, just get an airfilter & spark plugs for your bike from Motorcycle Parts, Motorcycle Accessories by BikeBandit.com or something. we can take it apart & figure it out. I usually get my inspiration around beer #4. just dont let me get "creative" with anything. I have a self-tapping screw holding my carb body together that I'm not too pleased about.


just kidding. I wont ruin your carbs

lol sounds great budda and yeh aaron is my boyfriend maybe sometime later this week we can get together ...i'm heading down to the cape for the week tonight but i'll bbak friday afternoon...i live right up elm st. so i'm not far at all maybe plan something for this upcoming weekend? lemme know

and hessogood...my bike has just over 5,000 miles on it...


one of the guys i know suggested that my choke cable may be stuck slightly on but idk...so its something to look into as well...i just wanna get her all set to go on some long ass rides without worrying that she'll shit the bed on me so to speak

[l3uddha]

this weekend is no good; i'm going to Maine right after I get outta work on friday. going back to my redneck roots: Bud, fishing, shotguns.

we can figure something out after that. I have the following friday off & all weekend. I'll probably have my bike all set if we do it then. we can do your bike quick then maybe go riding. so no beers. maybe beers afterwards?actually the weekend of friday the 17th would be perfect for me. my night classes are ending the night before so I'll be freeeeeeee again.

yea we can look at the choke cable. shouldnt be too hard.

Steph... your bike smells like a gasoline refinery

I was thinking if the bike got stuck choked it would do that, but I haven't played with carbed vehicles too much. Its definitely dumping way too much gas for some reason. Hopefully a quick cleanup of the carbs, and maybe the choke cable will sort it out.
