My Ninja 250 (don't knock it till you try it), won't idle without the choke on at least part way (after warmup). There is a definate flat spot through the low RPM range, but once you break through it, the bike winds out well. It has been this way since it rolled out of the shed after winter. I have some sea foam carb cleaner in the tank, and while I have not been riding it a lot, things have not really improved. Idle jet clog?
Thanks. |

My Ninja 500 (twice as big as yours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) ) has consistent problems with the jets being plugged (Kawasaki was too cheap to install a filter), but it seems to have more problems at high RPM than at low. Water and junk in the bottom of the bowls will cause lots of problems, though, so it is probably a great place to start.
