Kips on a YZ250? That's definitely the cause of the problem.......
However, it could be the anti-matter rotation correction device.

Hrmmmm..... This requires more thought.

Common thing on a YZ250. Power valve spooge, mine would spew out a few drops once in a while. Nasty gorp, but normal.

Just to make sure you understand . . . KIPS is the powervalve for specific Kawasaki models - Kawasaki Integrated Powervalve System I think. Your's is also a powervalve it's just not named a KIPS.

It's a YIPS . . . nah, just joking! Don't know if it has a name.

I have a Suzuki RM250 and spooge comes out of the powervalve drain tubing same as yours, that's just the tubing doing the job.

It probably will. Mine alway liked to dump a small glop on the bed floor of the truck on the way home from the trail. :roll:
Great bike the YZ250, mine was just a little much for my skill level here in the woods.
