Eva, the ZXR250 bitsa.

what exactly is it doing?

 

You might of flooded it or the battery has lost cranking amps, I flooded mine and killed the battery trying to get it to start recharged it and start ya bastard and got it to kick over now it starts easily. But I still have a carb blockage.

 

It's a long weekend for some of us & hopefully you too so there's time clean the tank, it could be rubbish in the tank getting through your in line fuel filter if it's got one?
Flooding can sometimes be caused from rust / rubbish from the tank getting under the needle in the carby & not allowing it to shut off, via the floats, when the bowls are full.
Take the tank off & empty it then remove the fittings under the tank that the hoses push on to, there should be long brass tubes up into the tank with plastic gauze strainers on the ends of them, they will give you an indication of how clean your tank is.
Work your way through the fuel system to the carbies last, replace the filter with an OEM, paper or brass, get a couple of cans of carby cleaner for when you do them, it's the best, & blow them out with air pressure. Strip the carbies bare, ie all the brass jets & make sure they're clean & open, you have to be thorough.
Use new properly fitting flat blade screwdrivers to get your jets out, they are easily stripped
Good luck

 

I have a few sets of coils if you need them, before buying them, trim the coil lead and make sure the cap is on properly... could be an easy fix

 

Nope, same type of coil, just fed from different wires on the harness

 

This might be silly but since you've been playing around with the adjustments on the clutch lever, can I suggest that you put a jumper in the clutch switch sensor so you close that circuit? It might be the case where that circuit is remaining open and the bike is not going to fire while that is open.

Your problem sounds electrical, and to test I would connect the bike to a car battery (car turned off) and jump the clutch and kickstand switches and clean and rough up the chassis/engine ground on the bike and try again with an external fuel supply (water bottle with 5/16" pipe fitting superglued on)

If it doesn't run that way, and you know your spark is good, and your carbies are flooding your bike so obviously they are flowing some fuel, check your compression and check your valve clearances.

 

I brought this bike 2 weeks ago, and after going over everything that has been discussed I found the problem lol I went and got my hands on a new ignition switch and now she's all registered and road legal

 

Welcome to the forum, plenty of info here on these great bikes, feel free to post some photo's of your bike, again welcome.

 

thats not to bad mate, aslong as its just the fairings, could have been a lot worse. glad to hear you got the bike sorted and started, thats the biggest battle out of the way.

 

Hi wade, sorry to hear you dropped her!

Do you have access to a multimeter? See this thread to find out how to test your charging system.

Please note that a bike doesn't have an alternator per se, they use the stator which has magnets and a wound coil to create AC current then the regulator/rectifier to convert that to your bikes usable DC current.

Do you know what the hose pipes on zxr250s do?

They send cool air over the regulator rectifier as it get bloody hot.

I would be checking that connection as they are prone to burning out, after testing the battery with a multimeter.

Even with the burnt wires seem above which ATM actually smoke while this bike is going it still is charging (I think anyway lol)
