I'll be replaceing them pretty soon if I keep riding it!!! when I was pushing it hard I could feel I was getting close to the grip limit. I had to tires at 27/28. it compramised a little stability for extra bump absorsion and grip.
before anyone on the forum trips(steve excluded) the lil ninja runs bias ply tires.

The reason I bought my FZ6 is because my son took his Ninja 250 from me! I rode it before he got his license. Once he got his lic. he took the bike from me and I went back to riding my V-Star 1100. My V-Star felt like it was made of lead after riding that Ninja!

Dunlop K630
Sizes: 130/80-16 rear; 100/80-16 front

Loudboys: I don't know what kind of situation the OE tires are designed for, but it sure isn't regular street riding. They don't handle predictably, they don't stick very well, and they don't last very long. The stock tires are fairly unforgiving compared to most of the good replacement options. Once they're unstuck they tend to stay that way.

Ian: Dunlop K630's are pieces of crap, and you're doing yourself a huge dis-service by riding on them.

The Ian guy up there.
He is the one that made the countersteering video.
Seriously, they are the worst piece of equiptment on the bike in the most important role. More little ninjettes are destroyed because of them than anything else.

What do you recommend the replacement tires to be?

What tire makes are available that fit the 250? - Ninja250Wiki

They have it all under controll there. LOL
I like Avon tires but the supervenom is no more. The roadrider is supposed to be good but I have not used it.
Pirelli sport demons have a great reputation.
