Personaly I have a 250 ninja about 1 year old. (red tattoo model) I want a few things for my bike, Tires, sprokets, sliders, pipe. And I must say I was very frustrated with what I found as aftermarket parts. I went to ALL Kawasaki Big bike shops in Thailand, some had limited items, a pipe or stock tires or rear larger (more teeth) sprockets. I tried every big bike shop in Chiang Mai, Khon kean, BKK, and the Pattaya area. I then tried to order on line from several American Mail order shops, Some of the largest they have in America, Dennis Kirk, Parts Unlimited, etc... and was told they would not ship over seas even though I was happy to pay any amount. In the end I had a friend in Hawaii order what I needed and bring them over. I got a new high flow air filter, several sprokets, Gel seats and more. They have sold alot of these 250 Ninjas here and I am surprised by the lack of parts avalable here, I was even more surprised when many of the parts I got from the states said "Made in Thailand" right on them.
