  • Another bike where the valves where blamed but it wasnt the valves. It starts and runs fine when cold but once its warmed up if its shut off it wont start back up till it cools back down. Ended up being a bad fuel pump on this Kawasaki.

    Hey guys! I am in Montreal and I have the same issue. I don't race, I am a beginner and I do not ride hard. Problem started at 18 hours. Bought the bike brand new kx250 2022. I brought it to the store where I bought it and they could not recreate the issue. The problem happened again obviously. I spoke to Kawasaki and now I need to bring it back again. Very disappointed. There are also many dudes I met at the track up here with the same issue.
    Has anyone resolved the problem? Everyone says it is the fuel pump. Others have said they did a rebuild and it still happened.
    Make sure you contact the store where you bought the bike and make sure you contact Kawasaki. This is not our fault. Let's stick together on this.

    I got a 2022 kx250. First ever new bike. 9.6 hours on it. Second lap of the day I land off a jump and it sputtered out and died. I made sure I wasn't leaking anything turned it over and it fired up for a split second.
    Ive now been messing with it for a week checking wires and stuff. I thought it was my fuel pump relay, I got told to check it and when I taped it against my subframe my fuel pump would start up. But I tried my friends relay and won't work.
    I'm not getting spark. Last night messing around with it for hours I got two single sparks.
    I'm not even sure what to do now I have to take it back to the dealership. And now I'm also worried about this happening in the future. Such a bummer on a new bike.....

      Many things can cause it to have low PSI. A worn and tired pump motor or a bad fuel pressure regulator. Another thing that comes to mind if you find everything good then try back flushing or replacing the fuel Injector. A weak or partially clogged Injector can cause your issues too.

      That seems to be common with the newer KX450 and KX250. I have found sometimes the OEM battery is just weak. For a test try putting on a battery charger and if she fires right up then its just a weak battery. Also it helps to make sure the choke is on on the very first attempt of cold start. If the choke is forgotten and a start attempt is made then its a up hill battle lol

    My 2022 with 14.6 hours is having issues with cold starts. It was running fine and then all of a sudden I can’t start it cold if my life depended on it. It cranks and cranks and cranks and then the battery gets hot and then powers down and then once the battery cools, I tried again and it just cranks and cranks. Do you think it might be the fuel pump?

      Hello. I would start by first charging the battery. I had a 23 here a few days ago with 8 hours on it and it was doing the exact same thing. I charged the battery, turned the choke on and gave it zero throttle and it finally fired right up. I would try that first. on a bike as young as this.

      @@UpAllNight91 they are going to replace the fuel pump because mine supposedly is one of the ones affected per the recall. I just don’t know why Kawasaki would issue a recall and then put the same exact fuel pump in the bike for it to possibly just fail again? I’m sure they revised the pump somehow or at least you’d think that would be the smart thing to do.

    So I am having this exact issue with my ‘23 KX250. I only have 5 hours on the bike. As I’m researching the issue, I see that there was an official recall at some point but when I enter my VIN on Kawi’s site it doesn’t appear that I’m part of the recall. If I purchase a new oem fuel pump, does anyone know if the faulty issue is fixed now? Also, I’ve seen talk about ECU update does anyone have info on that?

    You know it would have been really easy to test and see if that thing was drawing too much amperage, just put an amp clamp on it and kick it a few times and see how many amps it's pulling.Look it up and see how many amps a new motor usually pulls and see what yours is pulling.If it's pulling too much then you know the pumps bad.... Another good way of testing an electric motor is just ohming it out.Seeing how many ohms you have across the windings?There should be somewhere in the literature for that pump.How many ohms it should be pulling across the windings?And if it's drawing more or less than it's supposed too then it is probably bad....

      I'm sure there is. In my experience. Many people bring me fuel pumps that they tried to put a kit in and they got it wrong. I correct it and they go off fine. And I have put that kit in probably 20 bikes now myself and pretty much all of them are doing good to date. However if you read the comments here, some have bought the OEM pump for 400 bucks just for the problem to come back a handful of hours later. I'm actually doing a 21 kx250f this week with the same pump and same issue. All the all balls kits for this bike are now sold out. So I will be trying out a quantum kit for this bike, hopefully that one does as well as the all balls has been doing for these bikes. Kawi really needs to recall these though. As you know i prefer OEM pumps, but at 400 bucks and with the word being it can or will happen again, these kits seem to be a decent fix for the time being. Not the best way to fix it but for now the only way (that seems to stand the test of time)

      It could be. When its cold and able to start, remove the gas cap and hit the start button super fast, not long enough to start but long enough to cycle on the fuel pump. Stick your ear up to the gas cap opening and get familiar with how the fuel pump sounds. Then ride the bike on flat ground where it's safe when it dies. As soon as it dies remove the gas cap again and hit the start button super fast again, not enough to start just enough to cycle the fuel pump and listen inside the tank again. If you don't hear the pump then yes it could be your pump giving up when it gets hot. Maybe start there

      So I can hear the fuel pump without the gas cap, but still doesn’t want to start. There is spark and the battery is full. I haven’t done the riding and then listening but will give it a go. The problem is very intermittent, it happens and then it doesn’t happen. Could it possibly be water in the fuel? I haven’t drained the tank yet. I’m stripping everything today again to see if I can find something. I’ve read quite abit about the MAP sensor failing because of water or oil getting in there. I do spray the motor with yamashield or WD40 after every ride as I live close to the ocean and want to prevent corrosion.
