	Here is one such effort. Just keep in mind that this is ''fabrication'', and will involve some imagination on your part, although it really isn't too complicated. Sizes and pieces needed will vary depending on your particular stand.		Here is one such effort.

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

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 [http://rampantracing.com/index.html 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.
