I have a question concerning the 08' Ultra 250.
We are all aware of the huge problem Kawasaki had with Gas-in-oil in 07' and the crankcase breather problems....what have they done in 08' to address this problem?

I've never heard of any "huge" problems with the 250X. The `08's do come with the crankcase blocked off as compared to the `07's. The`08's come with the valve cover vents blocked off as well. We see this every year from the OEM's. The aftermarket companies come out with performance improvements and the following year they are standard features from the OEM's.

Umm, gas in oil WAS a huge problem! Per Roberts ski that Riva dissembled and MANY others who had documented problems. I had two and they were both plagued with this problem. I had to change the oil every ride I went out on. Did they change out the rings for 08'? I saw all the documentation from Riva for Roberts ski and one of the doucmentations said that the rings appeared to be too soft for the Ultra supercharged engine. What improvements have they made overall?
