Kawasaki Ninja 250R, 2012

• Kawasaki Ninja 250R, 2012

Key Features
• 249cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine offers better highway passing power than competing models in the 250 class
• Low 30.5-inch seat height boosts new rider confidence
• Six-speed transmission offers wide selection of ratios to match varied riding conditions and its positive neutral finder makes it much easier to find neutral when stopped
• Genuine Ninja® styling matches the larger supersport models
• Petal-shaped disc brakes offer great sportbike looks and excellent braking performance
• 17-inch wheels allow use of modern sportbike tires

DOHC 249cc Parallel-twin cylinder Engine
• Compact parallel-twin design offers good mass centralization for superior handling
• Tuned to deliver smooth, step-free power with excellent mid-range and high-rpm power for effective highway performance
• Heavy duty piston rings help prevent oil consumption
• Ample high-rpm performance will please riders who wish to utilize the engine’s full potential

Cylinder Head
• Combustion chamber designed to maximize combustion efficiency and reduce emissions
• Intake and exhaust ports contribute to good off-idle response and smooth power delivery
• Valve timing and lift designed for strong low
• and mid-range torque
• Direct valve actuation helps ensure reliable high-rpm operability
• Valves feature thin heads and stems for reduced reciprocating weight and efficient flow

Carburetion
• Twin Keihin CVK30 carburetors offer a nice power feel and help provide low fuel consumption

Reduced Mechanical Noise
• Self-adjusting cam chain tensioner reduces mechanical noise caused by the cam chain and minimizes loss from power-robbing friction
• Minimizing mechanical noise allows the use of a freer flowing exhaust for better performance
• Complex construction with reinforcing ribs helps eliminate airbox reverberation and reduces intake noise
• Air filter accessible from the side, for easy replacement

Exhaust System
• 2-into-1 system contributes to the Ninja 250’s low
• and mid-range torque and smooth, step-free power curve
• Slightly upswept silencer extensively tested to determine chamber size, connecting pipe length and diameter to achieve least noise and most power
• Meets strict emission standards with dual catalyzers; one in the collector pipe and the other in the silencer
• Using two catalyzers helps minimize power loss caused by backpressure in the exhaust system
• First catalyzer is positioned close to the exhaust ports for maximum efficiency

Liquid Cooling
• Denso radiator offers effective engine cooling with minimal space and weight
• Ring fan uses a quiet-running motor that also saves space
• Fins on the lower side of the crankcase helps further cool the engine

Six-speed Transmission
• Involute splines reduce friction and backlash between gears and shafts for easier gear meshing and smooth shifting under power
• Spring-type clutch damper reduces hesitation at very low speeds and minimizes shocks when rolling on and off the throttle for a smoother clutch feel
• Paper-base friction plates help increase clutch durability

Chassis
• Sturdy and durable diamond-style frame of thick-walled steel tubing offers confidence-inspiring stability at both high and low speeds
• Beefy swingarm bracket contributes to the frame’s rigidity and helps achieve an optimal balance of chassis stiffness
• Square-tube swingarm with a 60 x 30mm cross section further adds to rigidity

Suspension
• 37mm telescopic front fork with firm settings contribute to the Ninja 250’s smooth, stable handling and enhanced ride control
• Uni-Trak® rear suspension helps provide predictable handling and good ride comfort
• Rear shock features 5-way adjustable preload, enabling ride height to be maintained whether riding solo or with a passenger

Wheels
• Features 17-inch wheels like its larger Ninja siblings
• The use of proper sportbike tires contributes to its easy, neutral handling at low speeds and excellent cornering feel

Brakes
• Large-diameter, 290mm front petal disc and a balanced action two-piston caliper offer excellent braking performance and a natural, direct feeling at the lever
• Two-piston caliper grips the rear 220mm petal disc

Ergonomics
• Natural riding position with slightly forward-slanting seat and wide, raised handlebars

Bodywork
• Styling, fit and finish of striking full-fairing bodywork match its Ninja supersport siblings
• Aggressive dual-lamp headlight design, slim tail cowl and separate seats further enhance the supersport look
• Front cowling and windscreen offer the rider a substantial amount of wind protection
• Two helmet holders conveniently located under the rear seat
• Under-seat storage can hold a U-lock or similar device
• Two hooks under the tail and the rear passenger pegs provide anchor points for securing items to the rear of the bike

Instrumentation
• Instrument panel features an easy-to-read, large-face analog speedometer along with an analog tachometer, odometer, trip meter, fuel gauge and warning lights
