Roadsitalia Exhaust
The Ninja 250 represented for years the entry point into the world of sports motorcycles for those who wanted something more than a scooter or an anonymous entry-level bike. Its 249 cc parallel twin, with double overhead camshaft valve timing, always had a more lively character than its displacement might suggest: you need to keep it in the rev range to get the best out of it, and this makes it engaging even for riders coming from previous experience. From 2008 to 2012 it sold in significant numbers worldwide, and today it remains an interesting starting point for those who want to personalise it. If you are considering upgrading the exhaust silencer, the exhausts for Kawasaki we manufacture include solutions designed for this version of the Ninja as well.
The sports silencer for the Ninja 250 2008-2012 is a muffler designed to replace the original silencer in its lateral position, leaving the standard headers and connections unchanged. Mounting uses the motorcycle's original fittings without structural modifications, and the kit includes all the hardware necessary for installation. We recommend entrusting the fitting to a qualified mechanic, especially on a motorcycle that — however accessible — deserves a correctly executed installation.
The weight of the Ninja 250's original muffler is not negligible relative to the motorcycle's overall mass, and replacing it with our sports exhaust produces a noticeable weight reduction, perceptible both in total weight and in the rear balance. The acoustic tone becomes more present and defined, with a character that enhances the revving nature of the DOHC parallel twin, without turning it into something artificial. In terms of engine response, more efficient exhaust gas flow management can make power delivery more linear and favour a more immediate throttle response, particularly under more sporting riding conditions.
Every exhaust is manufactured directly by us in our workshop with handcrafted manufacturing in Lombardy, in the province of Bergamo, to order. Before each dispatch we carry out internal quality control on the finished piece. Direct from the manufacturer sales mean there are no intermediaries between our production and the person receiving the product.
For the Ninja 250 2008-2012, the version with a catalytic converter is available, selectable directly from the drop-down menu on the product page. Those who use the motorcycle on public roads and want to stay compliant with regulations will choose this version. Those who use the bike more freely can opt for the configuration without.
The kit includes a standard dB killer, fitted inside the silencer. It is worth remembering that its removal invalidates the product's homologation and is not officially supported. For those requiring further noise reduction, the No-Noise option is available: an internally welded filter that lowers the sound level more noticeably, without significantly affecting the characteristics of the exhaust silencer. It can be selected on the product page.
By replacing only the silencer, the Ninja 250's ECU does not normally require any remapping. The modification is limited to the end silencer, and the original system remains in its standard configuration: no electronic issues to manage with this type of intervention.
Updated production lead times are always visible at checkout. Once the product has been dispatched, you will automatically receive a tracking code to follow your delivery.

Below this description you will find the product list available for the Ninja 250 2008-2012. The differences between variants are primarily aesthetic: silencer shape, material and finish. From the product page you can configure your silencer by selecting the version with or without catalytic converter and the No-Noise option from the drop-down menu, as well as viewing detailed photos and full technical specifications.
