Whistle, Squeal, Squeak, Whine…
One of the first things that most Ninja 250R Riders notice (and freak out about) is the tendency of this motorcycle to make an odd screeching, beeping, buzzing, whining type sound.
Whats funny is that this sounds like a warning buzzer, and I have heard people think it is everything from a neutral warning, shift Warning, bad break pads or overheating warning. (Mainly because the sound happens when you’re accelerating, decelerating or breaking forcing the gas to slosh around) The truth it, it’s the gas vents for the cap, and this is a well known Kawasaki trait that has happened for generations of bikes and is nothing to worry about.

Someone needs to find and post the process given to the dealers for the ‘fix’. The dealers can’t legally do the fix but owners can I bet. If nothing else they can do it on a ‘track bike’ 250…
