I have a Ninja 250 that I've had sitting for three years

Did you try starting it?

Here's what you will need to do
>Drain all gas
>Take carbs off
>Clean them (use Google)
>Take all fuel lines off and replace them
>Replace battery
Should be good. You'll want to bleed the brakes as well but that can happen whenever

Maybe run fresh oil and drive it hard for 100mi after the above and change it again to help clean the engine a bit

If he's in America, odds are that e10 will have fucked his carbs

Sitting for three years my guy, no way that fuckers starting. When I checked it a year ago I couldn't even get the gas tank open with the key without bending the key.

Thanks gents, I'll look into it some more.

How much will replacement carbs be? Is that even possible?

>>16933402
Replacement carbs are cheap and very possible. My guess is 40 bucks at the most. Anon, have you tried just draining the fuel and adding new fuel and starting it? Lol I doubt it won't start and often enough they'll fix themselves if you best on it

Replacement carbs will run you about 200, but by the time you take the old ones off to replace them you might as well clean them. Seriously, motorcycle carburetors are really simple and you will find out you learn some stuff.

Post in dbt, there's a lot of helpful fags there

>>16933509
Nobody in dbt is helpful and only a fool would take advice from anyone there.

>crush washer
Ring a bell?

I have never purchased a new one, nor have I needed one. Glorious Japanese steel

>>16933339
Do this.
Also your tires are probably rock hard by now. You probably want to get new ones. Old tires on motorcycles are sketchy as fuck.

>>16933596
oh, so you're wrong is what you're saying

Clean the carbs, flush out old coolant and replace with new, do a brake fluid flush, change the oil and filter, replace the tires, add a new battery, check chain tension, sprocket condition and make sure chain is lubricated, ensure fork seals aren't leaking. You'll be good to go for safe riding.

he tricked some guy into buying the leaky bike, old crush washer and all, then bought some new piece of garbage to mistreat.

Hah, let me red pill you on something buddy. This is the history of pretty much every Ninja 250 and you would be hard pressed to find one that isn't running. Pretty much everyone buys these things from a decade ago and then sticks it in a shed for half its life.

The bike is completely fine. Three years isn't even that bad.

Like everyone else has already said: the procedure is simple.

The main issue you're going to run into is your carburetors. You can't let gas just sit in them for a long period of time otherwise they'll gunk up and become ineffective.

Drain the gas, remove the carbs, clean them (btw 'carb cleaning' has become a total meme these days. you don't even really need to clean them. there are these two little screws inside carburetors that have holes going through them and these holes get clogged. this is literally teh only thing you need to actually clean and you can just do it by poking holes through it using a needle.)
