The most common accident on the Ninja 250 seems to be a no-speed or low-speed fall, such as might happen while maneuvering the bike for parking or while moving slowly. These types of accidents typically damage fairings, turn signals, handlebar controls, and foot controls. Other than broken controls, it's uncommon for such an accident to disable the bike. Here are some of the costs which might be associated with such an accident:

* [[~~I need to~~ repair ~~a cracked fairing.~~|Fairing repair]]: $10-100 (if you do it yourself)

* [[Body plastics repair guide|Fairing repair]]: $10-100 (if you do it yourself)

* Replacement fairing: $500-1500

* Replacement turn signal: $40
