Well can’t explain what is going on with your bike but here is one piece of advice. Your bike probably doesn’t have a fuel gauge but should have a trip meter. Get used to resetting that every time you fill up. So figure your tank size * mpg and when that gets close to the trip meter time to fill up. I ran out of gas my first week too! Luckily it was right by a gas station.

I like it!!

That’s a classic, how many miles on it? Looks in great shape for 26 years old. Someone took good care of it.

I’m 5’6″ and I can flat foot my Kawasaki Ninja 250 while stopped. It has one of the lowest seat heights of any sport bikes that I’ve found, plus it is a great beginner bike. Cruiser seat heights aren’t as high as sport bikes so that is another option.

The only good thing about being in your 40’s …. you can buy more expensive toys.

My dealer only charged me $100 for my 500 mile service for my Kawa Ninja a couple weeks ago. They changed the oil and filter, lubed and adjusted all the cables and lubed the chain and checked out everything else.

Umm..point fixation? two point fixation?

I like your Joe Rocket jacket! I got one similar without the white. I love how it breaks down for hot weather.

The best thing I got out of MSF riding lessons….slowing down before I hit the curve, not in the curve, he made me do that exercise like 20 times , I didn’t get it then, I get it now….no more going into curves too hot. the quick braking exercises and the swerve exercises. Also in parking lots and stuff I use the figure 8 skills I learned in class.

I love the seating on my 2006 Ninja, I can sit up close on the tank and have a more upright position, or I can shift my butt back towards the passenger seat and have a more leaned over sport bike feel. Very comfortable. Best part buying used you don’t have to go through the 1000 mile break in period!
