Majority of sprockets are made of carbon steel unless of course you go with Aluminum.
Stock front sprocket is 14t and rear is 45t. Most folks get a 15t front sprocket to reduce overall rpms so the bike is not so buzzy from high cruising speeds.

Many people leave the rear at 45 teeth, and only change the front from 14 to the 15. Some people have gone for taller gearing by using a few less teeth on the rear, but it's not as common.

Make sure to check out the sticky thread at the top of the tech section:
Directory of all 250R DIY threads on Ninjette.org There's a pretty decent chain adjustment / wheel alignment thread there: DIY- Chain Adjustment and Rear Wheel Alignment The pics are borked in the first few posts, but if you scroll down there are more pics and instructions to clarify if things are fuzzy about the first post.

I'd probably go with a 15 if I was changing the sprocket out. I wouldn't change a perfectly functioning 14 out for a 15 for the performance difference, but if it was worn and I needed a new one anyway I'd likely go with the 15.

The stock 106 link chain will fit and will it give you some mpg? Maybe or maybe not, depends on your wrist. Some riders have reported an increase, I myself... didn't notice squat.
