Also get the wiring replaced as a precaution, since the battery-to motor plus from coil to plug. The rectifier charges the battery when not driving during night. Since this is a regular occurrence, the rectifier check should be last on the priority list................................sodeep

SOURCE: I have a Kawasaki ZZR 250. Just bought it. Started

One or both of the floats are stuck open giving the carbs fuel constantly. The extra fuel runs into the intake, fills the cylinder, gets past the piston rings and then fills the gearbox and overflows onto the floor. Pull the carbs and clean them. Some trash, ( such as rust from the tank ), is not letting the float needle to seat. Be sure to sync and balance the carbs after re-installing. Also, turn off the gas at the tank when you are not riding. If you already are doing this, the petcock must not be shutting off properly and needs to be replaced. Please rate my answer. Thanks.
