It starts up well, but after about 10 mins of riding it begins to sputter and lose throttle. If I let off the gas and pull in the clutch it dies, even while cruising. This has happened four times. Also, it has some rust in the tank.

Any thoughts or advice? Do you think it is the voltage regulator or some other electrical problem since it only does it when its hot? Thanks.

Please email me at kiefercharles@hotmail.com

welcome to the forum Charles. can't help you with your problem, but there are plenty of people here that can. you might want to start a thread in the mechanics corner, it will get better attention in there.

Hello people. I'm Dan Almashy from Danville, Va. I recently bought my 2006 Vulcan 900LT. I am really happy with it so far. I did notice an occasional pop in the exhaust when I first start it sometimes. Doesn't seem to be a problem. I always leave the gas turned on and thought maybe it was possibly some excess gas in it. Maybe it'll go away after a few hundred miles.
I have the Blue and Silver model. I'm thinking of adding some rear floorboards to it though. My wifes heel already made a mark on the muffler. We're really enjoying it so far. I guess once I get used to riding again I might buy a Nomad. That was my first choice but since I haven't ridden since 1980, I thought I'd ease back into it.
Hope to see some of you around someday. Keep it safe.

Hey, new here.. found it on google and a 'Houston Driving Rules' thread pulled me in.. I been riding for about a Month and i cant stress how much i love it but im sure you all already know.

Riding a slightly modded 2005 Ninja 250R, (removed factory and added custom decals, custom mesh screening in the bike fairings, painted lower fairing to color match bike, tank and gas cap pad.. more to come..)and if the bike does me right, i will become Kawasaki brand-loyal~

If anyone rides out in the Houston area (I live in The Woodlands, but anywhere in houston area is fine with me) hit me up via PM or AIM/MSN, cuase i have absolutely noone to ride with~

*Tod* · 09-07-2006

Welcome Falx. I like the mesh in the grills. Good looking 250.

Falx250r · 09-07-2006

Next paycheck i have planned; Fender eliminator and front and back flushmount turn signals.. anyone have ideas for other mods i could do? (im not interested in exhuast, everything other than stock i have heard sounds like a dirtbike and im not in~)

Hi, I'm Brian, and I'm a newbie....and it's RampRat's fault that I'm here. I ride an '07 Ninja 250R...

*Tod* · 09-07-2006

Welcome Brian. That's two silver 250s in the last two days.

BTW...it's always Rampy's fault.
