How does the Kleen air mod help? Won't that cause me to be leaner than I already am?

What would be the quicker/easier way to fix this? Getting the stage 2 or shimming the needles? Money wise it's not a problem, whatever would be best.

What all goes into installing the jet kit? I've read how to shim the needles, doesn't seem too hard although the only experience I've had with carbs is on a lawn mower. Can the jet kit be installed by myself or a shop?

The kleen air delete mod will not make the bike leaner. It actually removes/blocks extra air. Many have done it with positive results.

A lot of fine tuning can go into rejetting. Shimming is very simple and quick, no tuning required other than resetting the idle speed.

Adding a jet kit will require you to remove the carbs and manipulate the airbox for clearance, which can be a PITA the first go-round. Multiple tunes and test runs are par for the course for getting the jetting correct. It's not a one size fits all deal. You or a shop can install it, but not unless the shop has done Ninja 250 re-jets before, they tend to fumble at getting all the small details of it. For a proper re-jet, the bike needs to be dynoed to find the correct setting. For just a slip on, shimming works well.

the jet kit is easy, theres a diy somewhere floating around.

if you are competent, it will be an easy task. taking the stuff off was probably more of a hassle than anything else

Just buy the jet kit, they have done all the tuning for you. Getting rid of the Kleen air system will help a lot because it is really just an air injection system to dilute the exhaust for emissions. I have not done it on my wifes Ninja yet but I have done it on my Suzuki with good results. The popping is a lean condition. So before you rejet, go buy a K&N air filter and follow the stage 2 instructions. It is easy and you will be happy with the end result.

Forget what I said about the Kleen Air system, after looking at it there are differences between this set-up and the one on my Suzuki. Leave it alone and just do the stage 2 kit with a K&N air filter and remove the snorkle.

So for the jet kit I don't need to take it to a shop to have it done or tuned? I don't know much about carbs, can I do this myself?

find the diy guide, read it. if you dont think you can do it yourself, get a shop or someone else to do it.

It will be more difficult to remove the carbs then the actual re-jetting. If you can read you should have no problems http://www.dynojet.com/pdf/2193.pdf
Just remember, someone just like you assembled it the first time.
I have had good results with minimal tuning when the Dynojet instructions are followed. I think some people assume the instruction don't apply to their situation or they somehow know better. Dynojet ( or other jet kits) test out the product with a chasis dyno and then package it all together for you, so unless you live at some crazy altitude just follow the directions.
