How should i prepare for riding a Kawasaki Ninja 250R in the winter?

I live in Minnesota and our winters are very cold.What is the best winter gear for riding motorcycles at 12 degrees farenheit?What are the best winter tires for the Kawasaki Ninja 250R?|||Park it!!! It's too cold for both man and machine, the roads are slippery, drivers will not be watching out for motorcycles, and the motorcycle will be ruined by corrosion after just one winter, even if you manage to keep it upright. There are no such things as "winter tires' for motorcycles--for good reason.|||I have spent time in Minnesota. 12 degrees is a heat wave.


Seriously, heed Firecracker's answer. Road conditions are just too dangerous during the winter for your riding safety.


But if you choose otherwise, look up Steve Becraft's historic winter motorcycle ride across Canada Jan/Feb 2010.


A sport bike will not cut it for winter riding. See last link below.


Good Luck|||Wash it, wax it, and put stabilizer in the fuel. Change the oil and put it up on the stand.


Cover it with a sheet.





"From ice to ice, the weather's nice" - and in between is a whole different story.


Ice is the killer, more than anything else.


Those cagers that don't see you in summer won't look for you in winter, guaranteed.|||You can buy electric riding suites these days.Also electric anti-fog shields for your helmet.As far as tires go,You only got two wheels so as long as there good as far as tread goes thereis not much more one could do.


Good luck and keep the shiny side up;|||you need one of those snowmobiles.
