I want an engine stand for my 250

If you are going to be doing a lot of Ninja 250 engine work in the future, you may want to have an engine stand to make the work more convenient. To no one's surprise, there isn't a stand designed specifically with the EX250 in mind. One member did find the one shown below, however, and Mike Kincaid of Rampant Racing offered him a money-back guarantee if it didn't work.

It works well, and it is very sturdy and well built. You can put a whole engine on it with no problems.

Here are two close-ups to show how the engine mounts to the stand.

This shows the stand with a complete engine mounted to it:

And the whole thing rotated 90 degrees.

Option

The Rampart Racing stands aren't always available, so you may have to make do with something else. Harbor Freight has a model available. While not a direct fit, you'll only need to build an adapter between the pivot plate and the engine, but that should be easily accomplished with a few pieces of aluminum angle and some hardware.
