Estrella BJ250 C

Estrella RS

In 1995 the BJ250 C,
also called Estrella RS,
appeared in the shops of
Japanese Kawasaki dealers.
 
The Estrella BJ250 C brought a lot of changes, compared to the B-version.
It was the first Estrella with a double bench with a decorative strip (A), chromed fenders (C) and the head- light housing (D) was black and not in motorcycle colour.

The BJ250 C also had a different shaped fork bridge and handle bar (F). Furthermore the colour of the indicator display lamps changed from orange to green. In Japan, the tank logo changed for the third time, in Germany for the second time.
 
Together with the 1995 B-version, the C-version got shock absorbers without reservoire (G) and a heated carburettor (E). Simultaneously the position of the rectifier was changed - repositioned under the tank.
 

In Germany the BJ250C was introduced in 1996 and resplaced the BJ250 A. She had officially been sold untill 1999 by Kawasaki Germany and was the last version brought to Europe.

In the German instruction handbook are pictures of the BJ250 C1 (right) from 1995 which was never sold in Germany.

German Estrella - Japanese Estrella
The most significant differences between a German and a Japanese Estrella are the mirrors and indicators. The German ones are round and a bit bigger.
Japanese Estrellas have a different carburettor with produces 21 PS instead of the German version with only 17 PS.

 
Japanese Estrellas also have hazard lights in contrast to German ones.
 

While selling of the BJ250 C stopped in Germany in 1999, the C-version is still being sold in Japan as Estrella RS.
