My, 2008 kawasaki ninja 250, gas tank won't open. When I insert the key, it won't turn. I've pushed and fidgeted it as much as possible to the point before breaking the key in it. I've spray WD40 in it and even waited few hours for it to settle, and no difference. I have tried using a back up key that has NOT been worn down and it still won't turn. Any help would be appreciated

SOURCE: Remove the tail

The assembly is bolted on. Depending on how much you want to modify it, there are fender eliminator kits available. Some are just license plate holders. Others are complete rear turn signal and bracket kits. Some have lights for the license plates, some do not. Do a search on the web. If you just don't like how the tail hangs down so low, consider just cutting the it off at the bottom, right below the plate to make it shorter. The reflector isn't necessary to have.

Is the headlight itself new? You can hook up any 12 volt source to the headlight prongs and tell if the bulb itself is burned out...take it out and test it !...good luck to you....Tim

I just got a kawasaki ninja 250 and the lock for the gas tank is stuck i put the key in and cant turn it at all. I tried wd-40 and pushing down the cap while trying to turn the key but nothin at all ...

Hello, you have tried all the things that would help, one other thing you can try is get a new key cut (from your existing key), what happens is the sides of the key actually wears out and this also affects the operation, its not guaranteed but it may help. Also try pushing the key in as you twist and pull it out a fraction and twist. Being a new bike this should not be happening, also after you spray the WD40 if you have access to a air compressor, blow the the key hole out, you may have to hold the hole open with a fine screw driver, there may be dirt stuck in there. If all fails than a master lock smith will be your last solution.

I tried to open the gas tank (lock) but i stick my key in (also tried the spare) but the lock would not turn. I looked up some toubleshooting and used wd40 in the lock and along the rubber seal outside but...

There is either a small piece of something keeping you from fully inserting the key , the lock is broken, or the lock has been replaced and the replacement uses a different key. On my 2009 Ex250 the key turns 1/4 turn clockwise and is very easy to turn. Worst case scenario, you may have to drill the tumblers out of the lock. Even if you undue all the top screws but the cap will not come off. There is one security screw under neath to keep the fuel thieves from just taking the top off. If you damage the cap beyond use you can always replace it with a Slingshotracing gas cap. You could take the tank to a locksmith to see if they can pick it. Hope this helps.

2008 ninja 250 it starts but as u give it gas it stutters and dies i sprayed water on the left exhaust and it not as hot as the right side

I would start off by removing the fuel tank, I would then remove the line from the tank to the carbs and lightly and gently blow air from a hose into the carbs, this will free up any dirt or trash that may have gotten into the carbs.
