When I had a year abroad, August 2021-July 2022, the Ninja 250 wasn't in use. It was registered again in August this year. Shortly after, it had a large service, including valve check / adjustments, at about 11 600 NOK, or 1100 Euro (for the time being). An intermittent fault showed up on this FI-version; the fuel level indicator light lighting up when the tank got down to maybe 75-85% of full, or about 100 miles after having been filled up. It would go away either when going up - or downhill, so it makes me think that it definitely has to do with some sensor placed inside the tank. For the later days of the season this problem disappeared.

It has just above 40 000 miles / 65 000 km on the odometer at the moment, having been stored for winter.

A trip far north of the polar circle, up to the county of Troms, in May, resulted in leaking fork seals. SealMate cured it again! No other problems. The Ninja 250 just passed 67000 km (and is approaching 42000 miles). The services have been followed, which is partly the reason that the bike may be said to have been close to absolutely trouble-free.

March 10, 2024. The bike was taken out from storage 8 days ago, and recently passed 69000 kms / 43k miles on the odometer. Runs strong, still. Temperatures around 0 degrees C today, and once an indicated X51-X52 kmh. X is 0 or 1. ;-) A ticking metallic noise has emerged for the last few thousands of kms, which I'm not sure if is worth any worries or not..

Had the Ninja 250 serviced around Easter. The ticking noise that I have mentioned wasn't noticed by them, I was told. Hopefully nothing to worry much about.. They had managed to make a 5-10 cm long crack in the transparent cover over the speedometer, though. From what I told by the guy I met, he didn't know what had happened. Called me later and said that a new part had been ordered. This was a week ago. Need to go the 45 kms to the workshop at some time then..

Hopefully nothing to worry about. Got a new pair of Pirelli Angel C.T. tires on the bike. After about 69350 km / 43000 miles, it has some wear and tear on some of the paintwork, like the tank, footrests and handlebars. Just natural.
