Question

Why would kawasaki change the ninja 250 from fuel injection to carburation???

Answer 1

The U.S. version of the Ninja 250 has always been carbed.

They kept it this way to keep the cost down and keep it as an affordable beginner's bike.

Answer 2

Carburetor are like 10x simpler.  They run really well when new.  But they are very hard to keep running at top condition. And Kawasaki don't care if the bike run like c**p few years later.

Good Luck...

Answer 3

If you are refering to the 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R then I would have to say your either misinformed or just stupid. The Ninja 250R also the EX250 (as it was called until 2008) has never been a fuel injected motorcycle, except in Europe. Kawasaki made the European version of the 250R fuel injected to adhere to Europes strict emmisions laws. In the United States they opted for a carb to keep costs down and provide a bike that would be easier for beginning riders to work on.
