Replaced the opening throttle cable on my 2012 Ninja 250 SE. The plastic fitting at the handlebar end was broken. I think it was like that when I took delivery last year.
Anyhow, it cost me $28...

Rear seat cowl installed: 2012 250R SE
Nice addition! Also put a fine quality self-adhesive chronograph from Wally Mart on the triple clamp. :D

With the stock set-up, engine speed at 60 mph seemed a bit too high at about 8700 rpm. Going to a 42T rear sprocket engine speed is now 8100 rpm.

I left the 14T engine sprocket as is, and replaced the 45T rear sprocket with a 42T sprocket. Drops engine speed by a factor of 42/45 = 0.93.
No need to remove links from the chain (new).

Engine speed at 50 mph is about 7500 rpm with 14/45 stock sprockets.

42T rear sprocket installed
The chain adjustment only moved 1-1/2 graduations rearward, so there was no need to break the chain to remove any links. There's still 2 graduations remaining until I run out of adjustment. Now the...
