If it's the parallel twin like mine, don't limit your search to just the 1993. Parts from 1988 on up will fit your bike chassis wise, and most mechanical and electrical parts from the Ninja 250 will fit. Yes finding parts for this bike can be a pain in the ***, but I found out the hard way OEM parts work the best, the first time, all the time. I have ordered OEM parts from eBay that were no where near OEM (clutch cable, seat cover). If you still need the part I'll start making some calls on your behalf and send you email links. Some sites will tell you they are discontinued because they are a 2-4 week ship from Japan (took 3 weeks to get 2 OEM clutch cables) I (and my shop) do get most of my parts from Bike Bandit, but another place to try is Kawasaki Parts Nation http://www.kawasakipartsnation.com/p.../C12C1265F2610 this is the link for the 1988 side covers that seem to be in stock, but pricey. Good luck in your search, and as I think the only other member here who owns an EL250, welcome to the site. Post some pics and let us see the ride. And any time you need help with parts or anything else, let me know. My shop and I have become very familiar with finding parts. Because of the lack of popularity many parts searches show discontinued even though the same part was used on another Kawasaki model under a slightly different part number, and is still available under the other part number. Once again, welcome.
