I just returned from the garage, where I finished up the Ninja 250's 600 mile inspection/adjustment. As I'd suspected, the valves were all too tight. What a pain it is getting those valves adjusted. Fortunately, it seems to be getting easier every time I do it.
Hopefully, this will improve the idle and maybe even increase power and efficiency a tiny bit. Mostly, it means I can finally adjust the carburetor synchronization, which will make the engine smoother, more efficient, and possibly a trifle more powerful.
One additional gripe: who puts in the freakin' fairing screws? I actually stripped one trying to get it out (fortunately my trick bolt remover worked a treat on it, but now I'm out a fairing screw). It was in tight enough that the battery drill I was using to remove it actually overheated and clicked off. What? Who put this thing in, Moosey McArmstrong? Whoever it was, he was feeling his oatey-bites that day.
