Hey guys just got me zxr 250a n just got told its hard to find parts n stuff for it. Hoping u guys can help me out n tell me a few things n what parts are interchangeable with the zxr250a and zxr250c model. Cheers guys any help will do:-)

what are you looking for? I've got a bunch of spares including whole frames and wheels. c model has a different tank, fairings, cdi, headlight, front fairing stay, tank mount bracket.

minor differences to frame and swingarm and wheels (all cosmetic) you can put c model wheels on an A, and vice versa, works the same for frames and swingarms. I'm currently using a C model tank bracket for my A model, the seat doesn't fit right and I had to use a different bolt, but this is until I can find one that isn't an outrageous rip off for $2 worth of metal.

it's not hard to find parts, it just takes looking.

engine parts are the same as a kawasaki balius, balius was an aussie import and all parts can be sourced (at a premium) through a dealer. got blowby? need rings? go to your local kawasaki dealer and ask for rings... need a head because the valves are getting long in the tooth? wreckers will sell you a head for a few hundred bucks, it takes about 2-5 hours labour at a mechanic to fit this. but all mechanics will try to sell you a new engine for ~$1500 exc fitting, where they will then take your engine,and sell it back to the wrecker, who will probably use it to give someone else bottom end parts, or take a good head off another bike and sell that engine for another $1100 to a mechanic who will charge you $1500.

this is just my experience and personal advice. this is by no means a true indicator of your situation, this is what I've seen.

Thanks for the help man that makes owning a zxr better im after the fairings for it but no place has one only got c model

ebay? what fairings do you need? I have a front cowling in blue that's in great condition, as well as a rough green one...
