How many teeth does a Ninja 250 sprocket have?
For about $60 you can get some new sprockets for the Ninja 250 that will lower the rpm at highway speeds (which equates to better mileage). On a stock Ninja the front sprocket has 14 teeth and the rear sprocket has 45 teeth.

How many teeth are in a R1 sprocket?
The stock sprockets on my R1 are 17 teeth in front, and 45 teeth in the rear. Some simple math gives us the gearing ratio: 45/17=2.647. Now I have a baseline to work with.
How big are the sprockets on a motorcycle?
So let’s look at the factory set up on my bike, and see why it felt that way. The stock sprockets on my R1 are 17 teeth in front, and 45 teeth in the rear. Some simple math gives us the gearing ratio: 45/17=2.647.

What is the ratio between front and rear sprockets?
We explain it all here. Your gearing ratio is, simply put, the ratio of teeth between the front and rear sprockets. This ratio determines how engine RPM is translated into wheel speed by the bike. Changing sprocket sizes, front or rear, will change this ratio, and therefore change the way your bike puts power to the ground.
What kind of sprocket do I use to change my teeth?
Use a small front sprocket (countershaft) or larger rear sprocket. For every 1 tooth you change on the front, it is the equivalent to changing 3-4 teeth on the rear. Creates a lower gearing ratio. This is ideal for tight trail riding or tracks without many long straight sections.
How do you change the sprocket on a ninja?
It isn’t too difficult a task: loosen the rear wheel, remove the countershaft housing, remove the 14-tooth sprocket, put the new sprocket in, torque the retainer bolts, replace housing, set correct tension to chain, torque rear wheel, and clean/wax the chain. The sprocket switch takes about an hour overall.
