| Kawasaki certainly knows the meaning of "fun". However.... the Ex250 is only Kawasaki's SECOND best kept secret... #1 has to be the stand-up JetSki. Granted, I haven't got to try the 3rd generation "JS" that they recently put back into production, but the second generation 650's, and even the smaller cc first generation stand-ups are absolutely wicked.
I strongly suggest it to anyone. For me a stand-up JetSki is directly compareable to the lil Ninja ;) Not overly fast, but small and light enough to actually feel like it's a part of you, rather than some machine you're holding on to :P Anyway, enough ranting... I just miss summer I suppose. 300cc JetSki mods: timing advanced 1/8" bored .020 over head shaved .010 Boysen 2 stage reeds oil pump removed 550cc carb high flow flame arrestor Kerker pipe aftermarket ride plate high flow intake grate stainless steel impeller handpole spring Ninja mods: 04 EX500 rear shock. Rear fender removal, signals relocated to rear pods. KIA flushmounts up front. Rear tire switched to 130/90 Kenda Cruiser. Front tire switched to 100/90 Kenda Cruiser. Oil switched to AMS syn at 2500mi. Oil switched to Shell Rotella 5w-40 at 7500mi. Started using 10% Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer at 10500mi. We also race a dirt track "Legend" class car (think fiberglass '30s roadster replica) that runs a 1250cc Yamaha FJR engine. New to the family is a Mini Sprint that burns alcohol through a 750 gixxer powerhouse. |
