Great in-town bike and a fun entry level racebike for areas of the world that have a 250 Production race class.

The 2008-2012 features great, all new styling and subtle changes in the power producing plant to provide a more lowend and midrange, a quieter engine and decreased exhaust emissions to prevent Al Gore's Global Warming.

Little known fact - Factory Pro has built quite a few race winning EX250 racebikes. Porting, milling, boring, Full Radius Valve Jobs were available for the 250. We specialize in custom tuning the EX's - whether we built the bike or not.

To extract the maximum power for the engine, it is necessary to use the Low Inertia EC997 Tuning Dynamometer with 4 Gas EGA to concurrently dial in the carbs and the cam timing. You can't really do optimum work on an inertia dyno, socalled "tuning to an af as is usually found at dealerships levels -

talked to a guy who said this spring worked really well. Actually said he cut over a second from his lap times just because he didn't have to worry about missed shifts anymore. He said he told all his friends to get one.

"Long Boy"
  Finger adjustable and screwdriver extended Fuel Screw assembly

Frustrated with trying to find an "almost 90 degree"  screwdriver to fine adjust your fuel screw for best idle and cruise?
Use Factory Pro's new "finger adjustable" fuel screw to adjust fuel screw for best throttle response. Traveling to high altitude? It's easy to lean out the lowend temporarily.

Make your life easier.

Installation:
Remove old short stock fuel screw, old o-ring, old washer and old spring. The o-ring might be stuck in the carb, so take a light and make sure it's really out  (or you can't find it after you took out the screw)
Use a small bent wire to pull it out if it doesn't drop out. Keep the old parts for "spares".

Screw assembly kit comes with:
 2  Long Boy fuel screw  CRZ-SCR-3518k2
2  new o-ring
2 new washer
2 new spring

         Awesome part! Seems like the only ones who make them!   bummedwi

We bought it used with 2500 miles on it. 
Warm up took an excessively long time. Hesitations were excessive. Only when fully warm did it run OK.
After installing your jet kit to your specification (the only thing I did different was start with the 90 main) the bike started immediately. It had never done that before. I was able to turn the choke off quickly. Moments, not minutes. Performance was flawless even before warming up. This is how it should run.

As I recall -

After running over 100 AMA and WERA bikes, we gained from 2% to 3% power,

The least I saw was 1% (JR's super loose built engine) and the most I ever saw was 4% (on a super tight street  built engine).

The other 98 bikes picked up 2% to 3% power - with most 2% and  2.5%

Lasts 2 and up to 3 oil changes (tapering off in effect).

 Helps highway mileage.

Hi Marc,

today my Kawa-Center installed the ignition advancer kit.

This is amazing, unbelievable how my engine runs now. I'm very happy
that I'd bought the ignition kit, it's a big advantage.

Great work from you.

Have a nice day and best regards,

Roland



This is an easy power and mileage increaser.

Ignition Advance Kit -
(but does NOT include the 250 flywheel puller - a dealer can install in around 1-1.5 hours.)

Better "off-corner" power and some full throttle power and extends the power band  500 to 1000 rpm - Increasing overall average horsepower.

 We do not make an ignition advance kit specifically for the ex250, but this ex500 kit has the magic piece that works on the 250 also.


The ex250 uses a large, 3 bolt flywheel puller that only a dealer would have.
The woodruff key from the RTR-KAW-5-05 is the right key that fits the 250.....

If you buy the RTR-KAW-5-05 kit, you can use the supplied woodruff key and the installation instructions for the ex500.

After talking to Factory Pro on my on-track experience at the racetrack; and knowing we have the best jet sizes in, I still wanted a better throttle response. Now, as a novice racer I did not want to dump in huge dollars (specially at a club racing level) just to squeeze the extra horses out of this small motor. 90% it has always been the rider than the bike. Marc suggested I should go with the ignition advance kit Factory Pro developed. We got the key installed, did a dyno but at the end it matters how the bike feels at the racetrack. I rode at Thunderhill this Monday and I was amazed by the throttle response and how crisp it is. I also felt the throttle came to my hand much much sooner. At some corners, I had to back off so I was not constant on the redline wherein the motor would cutoff, thereby I was modulating and now I did not have to. I am very happy with this modification and thanks to Marc and his team for the number of years they have put in researching this and applying their racing experience to develop a great product.

I ran at Thill again on July 30 (Monday). And, I finally got used to the new rpm range and response. Love the additional 1k.

Marc,
I really enjoyed swapping flying tales last week but what I really enjoyed was taking my bike for a ride on Saturday after installing your jet kit.
I started off with some trepidation since the 250 Ninja board is chock full of horrifying stories of repeated rejettings, needle raisings and lowerings and all manner of, after all that, very partial successes.  None of these concerns Factory Pro kits, however, and for good reason as I discovered.
I installed everything per the instructions:  3rd groove, install jets, 2 turns out (went out another half turn), and the bike ran well from the get-go.  I now have a midrange, thank you, and find myself cruising around at 7k (even as low as 4-5k if I'm trying to be really quiet) which is something the stock setup would not allow-at any rate it would not pull smoothly below 8k previously.  Full power is as good or better (My ass dyno is out of calibration, due to a boating accident I missed last year completely.)
I am delighted.  My brother in law is also convinced and may have ordered a kit already.  I'll post a recommendation on the Ninja site, but they're such bucks-down squids they'd rather waste the whole riding season than spend the bucks and the hour to get a fine running bike.
Thanks again.
Creighton Smith

The extension of the laboratory for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940). He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal use but well preserved.
