No, their would be no reason to change the piston and rings first up, unless you know that they are worn from the previous owner, Get the bike up and running first and go from their, will be a good chance the piston and rings will be fine.

Change the oil first up as their is a good chance condensation has occurred and put water in to the oil. Drain the fuel from both the tank and carburettor, as this would have gone stale. Change battery or jump start if required.

suspect. With the spark plugs out, crank the engine over a few times. (ensure oil level correct) If it winds over all good, put a few drops off oil in the cylinders. This will help build compression. Re-fit spark plugs, Full choke and give it a shot. Away it should go! Aerostart or ether may come in handy.

Goodluck!

Nice bike.
Change the fluids, pour a tablespoonfull of cycle oil in each pot through the spark plug holes and leave at least overnight. That will lubricate the cylinder bores.
If it starts then decide whether to take the top off.
Good luck.

Starter not working on my 1988 Kawasaki Ninja

Hi, Sounds like your starter motor has developed a fault. Sorry cant give you a price for the fix but if money is an issue i would take a look on ebay for a reasonably priced replacement unit.

Need to know where the starter relay is located on my 1989 kawasaki 250 gpx

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

To locate the starter relay, follow the cable from the battery's + terminal.  It would end up in 1 of 2 terminals of the starter relay which would be beneath a rubber cap.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.
