Electrosport reports that the ESG110 stator can be installed without modifications to the engine case, although it does not come with the correct connector, and will require cutting and soldering to get the stock connector swapped on. The ESG636 can be installed in the Ninja 250's case, but it will "require some machining of the case." More-specific information isn't available at this time.

Electrosport suggested that the stock Ninja 250 regulator is capable of handling the increased power without modification or replacement. This seems likely, as Kawasaki is unlikely to make a variety of regulators, more likely using one regulator on many different bike models.

For the time being, a stator swap should be considered an expert-level modification, not suitable for most mechanics. If you're comfortable with soldering and have access to heat-shrink tubing (electrical tape is '''not''' an acceptable insulator for this job), and are capable of jobs such as a valve adjustment, you have the skill to swap in the ESG110. If you're willing to commit your engine cover to having at least 4mm machined off the stator mount-points, the ESG636 should be achievable. If considering either modification, contact Electrosport directly for more-specific fitment information.

This FAQ article should not be considered authoritative on the matter of stator installation.
