I also would think one of the silicone stick-on oil pan heaters would fit on the bottom of the 250? I saw one 125watt heater advertised at 2.5" x 4".

I may have to look into that. The radiator is blocked, but I wonder if the cold coolant flowing through is having an effect.

And I don't think that there are flat surfaces that large on the underside of the Ninja engine. I will check, though.
