I don't think you'll find a sprocket that will work, you may have to get a custom one made.

Start at about -1 up front and at least +10 in the rear in order to get the front end up. Either that or make a 3' long bracket to hang off the back with about 50lbs of lead on it.

i once heard of someone upgrading their carbs on a ninja 250 and it made it alot faster (supposedly faster than the ninja 500, the bike i started on and just sold and upgraded)

im not sure what aftermarket carbs he got for it but i think that might help you with stunting


...another idea...get nitrous oxide that might bring the front end up a bit ;-)
sorry i couldnt help but to flame a little bit

10 up 2 down should do the trick.

I agree that you could make it into a stunt bike, but why not get what you can out of it and start with a used 600? Just seems like it would be easier, and more aftermarket parts would be avaliable. ( Like sprockets, 12 bars, cages... etc.) Just my humble non-stunter opinion though.

i do have a 600 but hey i have this 250 just lying around might as well do something with it.... I was told to just do pipes with a stg 3 jet kit and a K&N, tightin up the pront suspension with some springs and brakes for endos andf just put a bigger sproket in the back.... I can already ride three gears out on it from 1st through 3rd no problem and its totally stock it goes straight up to 12 o clock at 13 thousand RPMs i shift to second ride it then shift to 3rd and continue.... will not endo do to front suspension though and brakes....

those are pretty nice slow wheelies. How fast were you going on those no handers? and what sprocket setup do you have? how high do you rev?

I'm pretty sure the guy in the blue shirt is from the bay area. BTB? I think that was a stock 250

Sorry, but the picture of the green 250, that is a stock bike. Stock dual exhaust, stock sprockets, and it still has a center stand. I have an 02, and if you know how to ride well enough, a stock 250 is very easy to stunt on.
