If you don't prepare the bike for long term storage it will be a pain in your a$$ when you're ready to ride again.

I have an older Ninja that my kids ride. If they don't turn the fuel off when parked overnight fuel drains into the motor. End up with gas in the oil. The fix has been just to turn the fuel off.

you can't turn off the fuel on the newer 250s - there's no "off" setting.
but with the petcock in the "on" position, fuel won't actually flow unless there is a vacuum on the vacuum line (like when the engine is running). the other setting ("prime") bypasses the vacuum valve so you can drain the fuel tank (or refill the carb float bowls if you previously drained them). the petcock is under a panel on the left side lower rear edge of the fuel tank. |
