I'd suggest on a dyno with an AF probe is the only way you'll really get it right. The pods will probably flow more air than the original airbox but you wont know for usre until you have a go and actually measure the AF ratio. I also suspect a good mechanic (one knowledgeable about bikes) will fail you for not having a side-stand cutout switch.

just go to your local motorbike wreckers, should be less than $20

Have a look here for model-specific info: http://www.ninja250.org

The Ninja 250 is the GPX250R, they didn't get the ZZR250 in the US, this one was only available in Canada.

As far as I am aware the GPX250 engine and the ZZR250 engine are EXACTLY the same engine.

I'm pretty sure they'd pickup the sidestand issue here, it's a safety thing after all. IMHO although they do seem to stuff up pretty easily you shouldn't bridge it out.

Mate it's all good until you go around your first left-hander with the stand down.

And don't tell me you'll always remember...you'd think you'd remember a disk lock on your front wheel and I don't always remember (which is why I have a curly reminder cord).
