Kent Rathgeber Posted August 18, 2006 The KX250F had a problem with the cam chain tensioner plate. There were little winglets on the plate that were known to break off and fall down the chain recess thereby shorting out your ignition. Take a look at that. Kawasaki claims they made a "running change" on the production line but many still got through. You didn't say what year your bike was, but valve clearances shouldn't cause that situation.
