The bike idles at 1300 rpms which is within manufactured recomendations, in fact it’s at the top end of it. It only really stalls when you punch in the clutch after driving and then come to a stop, if you’re just stitting or you’re moving it won’t stall. The exhuast smells really rich too. Do you think it’s running too rich and it might just be it needs a lower grade fuel? Or maybe the carbs? Any help would be great, thanks for the suggestion.
TwitchParticipantHey bob, I ride suzuki but alot of my friends ride kawasaki. From what I’ve heard for a 250 this is a great bike. It’s got all the creature comforts that most smaller bikes don’t have, and is pretty good for smaller beginers. It won’t go much faster than about 110 downhill with no wind, but it will get you from a to b. The handle bars are placed higher too, which will give it a more upright seating position. It also gets killer gas millage and looks very fierce. I personally found the bike underwhelming as far as power was concerned. Also, because of it’s aggressive styling, it won’t be much good for double riding, the back seat is extremely small. I would recomend a 500 personally. I ride a suzuki GS500f, very manuverable bike, and a good looking one at that. If you are dead set on kawasaki, the 500 will have a bit more power, but doesn’t look as good. Any more questions on it let me know, I can find out for you.
