To read the code, if any:
There are two types of blinks. Long lasts about 1 second, and short is about 0.5 second. Long light blinks are values of 10;
ECU pin 18 is self-diagnosis terminal; color Y/BK which goes to a Kawasaki Diagnostic System Connector.
short blinks are values of 1. Example sequence: long blink + long blink + short blink = 21. If there is more than one code, the lower one is displayed first, then any higher numbered codes. This will then repeat.

The EX250K is the fuel injected version of the 2008+ Ninja 250. It was/is available in most of the world, excepting N America. This will show you how to find and read any error codes which you may get for the FI system.

First of all, you should get a Service Manual. It's the best source of information on your bike. The charts we show here will enable you to diagnose your problem, but in order to do the work you're going to need the manual. And remember, nearly everyone active in this club has a bike with carburetors.

Normal FI Light Operation works like this: When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the FI light turns on and goes off after 2 or 3 seconds.

If you're getting an error code while riding, you need to figure out what it means. There is a Self-Diagnosis Lead for this. It's a single yellow wire, found under the front seat, with a female bullet connector. You hook up a wire to that and to the battery ground to get into Dealer mode.

There are two dealer modes. Dealer Mode 1 = code right now. Dealer Mode 2 = stored codes, usually what you want. To get into Mode 1,

There are two types of blinks. Long lasts about 1 second, and short is about 0.5 second. Long light blinks are values of 10; short blinks are values of 1. Example sequence: long blink + long blink + short blink = 21. If there is more than one code, the lower one is displayed first, then any higher numbered codes. This will then repeat.

This info is fairly self explanatory from the service manual pages shown below. If it doesn't make sense when you follow along, then perhaps it's best to ask someone with more wrenching experience or take it to a dealer or mechanic.
