Almost all Kawasaki Motorcycles made for street riding come with a hazard button, but(not surprisingly) the 250 doesn't. However, this is an easy mod and pretty cheap.

First get your hands on a 1998-2002 ZX6R, ZX6, ZX9R ZX12R Left hand control - these model/years are 100% compatible (see pic below) note there are more Kawasaki models and years that have this type of control as well, if you get one from a model not listed above make sure that it is compatible. Your best bet is to search for "Kawasaki + left" on eBay.

You can do a "Where does this part fit?" search on Ron Ayers to see the various models to aid in your eBay search.

All you have to do is remove your left control pod and replace it with the new one. The connections are under the tank, left side, right next to the ignition switch wires. You will have to snip a zip-tie.

If you have small hands, you can try to disconnect the control from below the tank, but you should probably count on removing the tank.

Then its unplug the left control, snip any zip-ties, unscrew the left control off the handbar, remove the choke lever, swap, and reinstall. Total time, 10 minutes.

The RED button you see is the Hazard button.
