The Kawasaki 2013 Ninja 250R has been updated with a new 249cc Parallel Twin engine, it receives new sleeveless die-cast cylinders as well as updated pistons, crankcases and a new exhaust. The 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 250 makes use of dual throttle valves like its big brothers the ZX-10R and ZX-6R. According to Kawasaki, the second ECU-controlled throttle valve helps to regulate intake airflow for a linear response, more efficient combustion and added power.

Kawasaki also updated the Ninja 250 with a new diamond-style frame that is said to be stiffer than the previous frame. Combined with revised damping and softer spring rates in the suspension system, Kawasaki claims the 250 offers increased comfort for city riding and firmer feeling for sportier riding.

Visibly, the 250 receives styling influences from the larger Ninjas. The new design uses dual headlamps instead of the previous model’s W-shaped single unit. Like the ZX-10R, the Ninja 250 gets a floating windscreen attached using only the mirror mounts. The side fairings feature new finned openings inspired by the ZX-14R to direct airflow.

Other updates include ZX-14R-styled 10-spoke wheels, a larger 140mm rear tire and a new instrument panel with analog tachometer and multi-function LCD screen displaying fuel gauge, dual trip meters, clock and an “economical riding indicator”.
