2011 NINJA 250R SE

Since it’s release in 2008 the Ninja 250R has been one of
Kawasaki’s and Australia’s top selling models. Its lightweight
handling, low seat height and rider-friendly power make it a
comfortable t for the new street rider, yet it still offers plenty
of performance that makes it fun for even the most
experienced. The Ninja 250R shares its styling with the
track-ready Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and ZX-10R models and is
well positioned to continue its sales success.

Key Features:

* One of Kawasaki’s Most Fuel-Efcient Motorcycles
* Light Weight For Easy Handling
* Broad Usable Power Curve
* Simple, Convenient Dash-Mounted Controls
* Legenday Kawasaki Ninja Syling
* Great Value
* Looks Like a Full Size Motorcycle and Comes At A

248 cm³, Inline Twin-Cylinder, DOHC Liquid Cooled
Engine

Compact parallel twin design.

• Light weight, high revving, with a broad torque curve.

• Usable power, simple for reliability, durability.

• Good mass centralization for superior handling.

Liquid Cooling

• Highly-efcient, latest generation Denso radiator provides
excellent cooling while minimizing space and weight.

• Maintains consistent engine temperatures for long engine
life and sustained power.

• Allows tighter engine clearances for quieter running.

• Includes temperature gauge.

Auxiliary Cooling Fan

• Noise-reducing ring fan is compact and quiet.

• Helps maintain optimum coolant temperature for best per­formance, fuel economy, and reliability.

4-Valve Cylinder Head

• Intake and exhaust port shapes contribute to the engine‘s
exceptional low and mid-range power characteristics.

• Valve timing and lift designed to boost low- and mid-range
torque.

• Compact combustion chamber for increased compression
ratio without detonation.

• Boosts low end torque.

• Provides maximum valve area for optimum ow.

Silent Cam Chain

• Low friction coating on chain guides reduces wear, increases
power.

• Runs quietly, reliably.

Automatic Cam Chain Tensioner

• Screw-type automatic cam chain tensioner maintains
precise control and requires no maintenance. The adjuster also
eliminates the possibility of vibration resulting from a loose
cam chain.

• Maintains precise valve timing without maintenance.

• Assures greater reliability.

2-Into-1 Exhaust

• 2-into-1 exhaust system contributes to low-and mid-range
torque and the smooth, step-free power curve.

• Upswept mufer designed to cut noise without sacricing
power.

Six-Speed Transmission

• Involute splines reduce friction and backlash between gears
and shafts for easier gear meshing and smoother shifting
under power.

• Spring-type clutch damper contributes to smooth clutch feel,
reduces jerkiness at very low speeds and minimizes shocks
when rolling on and off the throttle.

• Wide range of gears provides excellent acceleration and
relaxed highway cruising.

Positive Neutral Finder

• Just lift the shift pedal from rst gear at a stop to nd
neutral easily, every time.

• A Kawasaki exclusive.

Push-to-Cancel Turn Signals

• No fumbling, just a simple push on the switch cancels the
turn signals.

Diamond Frame

• Lightweight, high-tensile steel.

• Absence of downtubes simplies maintenance and lowers
center of gravity for easier handling.

• Good ground and cornering clearance.

• The suspension settings are rmer for less pitching and
better handling.

• Bottom-Link Uni-Trak rear suspension system lowers the
center of gravity for better handling.

Petal Disc Brakes

• Front and rear petal disc design from the larger Ninja models
provide excellent heat dissipation and contribute to the 250R’s
sporty appearance.

• Balanced Actuation Calliper clamps the front disc for
excellent feel and longer pad wear.

• Rear dual-piston caliper grips a 220mm petal disc.

High Velocity Induction Technology (H.I. TECH)

• Settings for the twin Keihin CVK30 carburetors provide good
power feeling with low fuel consumption.

• Provides a smooth ow of air to the carburetors for maxi­mum top end.

• Carburetor and intake port diameters are sized for quicker
mid-range throttle response.

17-Inch Wheels

• 17-inch wheels with wide rims support low prole tires for
better handling.

• 17-inch tires provide more choice for replacement.
