I'm looking for someone who has gone +1 or +2 on the front sproket on a 250 Ninja, as there is not a 250 Eliminator page, I thought I'd ask here. Here is the known differences. The EL250 came with slightly smaller carbs, revised cam timing, and a different primary drive, all to increase low and midrange power. Book top speed is listed as 86.5 mph and at 55 mph on the highway (15 min each way to and from work), the bike is almost screaming. Stock sprokets on the EL250 is 14/44 (3.14 final) vs. 14/45 (3.21 final) on the 250 Ninja. I had planned to go up one already and the shop kept my new chain a little long for this. Now for the reasoning, I may take a job in CA and I'd rather spend the bike shipping money on a ride out, 2 lanes are nice, but not coast to coast. So if anyone has done this swap, let me know how it went, if you went up 1 or 2, and the rpm drop and fuel mileage change. I'm not to worried about loosing lower end so much as keeping up with 70+ mph traffic. I'm going to buy the +1 next week anyway and get it put on, just want to know what I'm in for.
