Kawasaki 250 r part

So one nice thing about having the fuel injected version of a Ninja 250R is how much easier it is to add (and tune) a turbo to our lil 250cc thumpers. Now, many people would wonder why you would even bother going through all of this trouble when you can get a 600/900/Eleventy Billion cc bike for a few bucks more… And some of the reasons are simple, For Instance:

1. Because you can.
2. Because Turbos are freaking awesome.
3. There is no replacement for displacement… Except PSI…

But, in addition to the above mentioned there is one other reason that I was un aware of,  as user ‘PoopALarge‘ points out in a comment on the video:

“Here in Indonesia we mod our 250’s because there’s a tax on bikes with a larger than 250cc capacity, big bikes cost, on average, 2.5-3 times more than they would abroad. They’re not even on regular sale here, you’d have to order one through grey import or through the Harley Davidson dealer, which is the only big bike sold regularly here (of which the cheap ones cost you $60.000.- In short, if we can tune our 250’s, we do it”

Huh! Well, That makes tons of sense… Good job guys! Keep up the good work!


Akrapovic slip on.

So really, not too much has changed in the Exhaust department for the Ninja 250r in the last few months, but I did neglect to cover the Akrapovic exhaust so I figured now would be a good time. Akrapovic has only released a slip on for the Ninja 250r, so no full system if you’re looking for a full exhaust you can just stop reading now.

Overall the look is really nice, and it comes with the option of titanium or carbon fiber outer sleeve so you can choose which best matches your style. It also comes with a removable noise damper that you can choose which best matches your neighbors noise tolerance.

I haven’t head this exhaust in person, but the videos I have seen online it gives the lil’ Ninja a nice racy tone which seems to be a lil less throaty compared to like a full Yoshimura but also much less garbage disposal than like a homemade hollow core.
