on my current bike it has a problem with similar symptoms without the backfiring. but its because i havent started the bike for over a year. i have to jump it and it still runs dead. too lasy to diagnose it but could be battery or dizzy like others have said. plus have to flush out the oil and old petty before i try anything.

also could be the regulator, alternator, short somewhere in the electrics (happened to my bro and he couldnt go over 3800rpm without stalling). check the fuses, earth etc. dont forget to check the main fuse next to the battery.

what does the bike idle at, over heating? happening when cold?

these bikes always have problems.. especially the carby but goes hard for a 250

btw if you just sprayed carby cleaner straight into your carby, change your sparkies. it wouldve fouled it up

and if your still stuck, go on cbr250rr forums... or to a mechanic lol

hope that helps
hey thanks for the information i changed the spark plugs, drained the oil put new one but it was still doing the same thing couldnt keep itself on so i showed my mechanic and he diagnosed it and found that the throttle wire was screwed out (that round knob to adjust the throttle) and thats why there was bad idle and he fixed that problem and its true these bikes always have some problem maybe because there a bit old but anyway thank you very much appreciate the help
