I would need to ride the bike to tell you what I think would be the problem. Often it is a bent shifting fork on the inside of the transmission. If this is the case, you will need to split the case to fix it. You can try shifting it at varying rpm levels. I have had a bike that would only shift...

You have a broken wire somewhere. Start with a test light at the source of power...switches...connectors. If there is power going to the bulbs, switches, and connectors, then you have a bad ground for these. When you are hitting bumps, you are causing the wires to connect or ground correctly...

It would cost too much money to modify your bike. Try to find an exhaust pipe from a newer ninja 250 '08 or '09 model. They make slip on exhausts for these bikes. The newer bikes use a two into one exhaust which will give you a little more power. You may have to make a mount for the bike to take...

Only in the day time does color matter. Even then, it's your lights that get seen first. Remember that doing wheelies points your headlights up where they wont be seen. Reflective clothing will help for night time riding. Get the color you like and ride on....

This work is not that difficult. I recommend a Clymer manual for reference, but...start with draining the oil. Take the cover off the clutch cover off, being careful to not damage the gasket. There will be 5-6 bolts holding the clutch basket in place. Gently slide these plates out and replace...

I recommend going to a Yamaha dealer website to see if they have a micro fische parts finder and go through multiple machines to see if the part numbers are the same.

The choke is right next to the left throttle grip. It is a small lever that you will pull towards you. When the bike warms up, just push it up away from you. Happy riding..

I can help you here...I hope. The problem with trying to bigger is that you would have to find something that would mount correctly to the existing mounts. You may be able to buy Brembo parts/pads for your bike. Also try adding braided brake lines. Braided lines do not " swell" under pressure...
