So my bike was dropped on the right side which cracked the area around the right blinker and the blinker itself is broken.

Was wondering how much does parts cost and my options are? Kahuna is close on monday so i got to call tommorrow or go check it out on wed.

Give Snow City a call or check out BikeBandit.
 
If the 250R is sold in Thailand, there is a guy on eBay under the name AsianConnection71 that generally has prices 1/2-1/3 ours for OEM parts (including shipping) and, in my experience, the parts arrive faster than from the dealerships themselves. Maybe my parts were always just backordered here, though. If you need a new fairing or something that might be worth it to look into.

called and got a quote 223$ for cowl and 41$ for light. Labor is about 150$.

Service and customer wise where should i go? Kahuna is a bit closer compare to snow city. At the end price is gonna be the same across right?

Honestly, I'd repair the plastic (aka cowl, aka fairing) and buy a used turn signal, since hundreds of riders replace the OEM lights and are willing to sell them for cheap.
Do the work yourself and your total cost may be less than $30

What year is your bike? You can shop ebay for turn signals or post at the Classifieds at http://forums.ninja250.org/
 
its a 250 ninja 09. The thing is, its someone i know that dropped my bike. As you know you damage it, you pay for it. So he is paying for it.

If it were me I'd still be nice (I'm assuming this was a friend of yours) and find a cowling for probably $100 less online somewhere and get someone on the forum to replace it for a case of beer. Fairings are super easy to replace.
 
Cowls, especially upper ones, are hard to find in the right color and good condition, so his friend may have to pony up the dealer's price. Turn signals and headlight are very easy to find on ebay and bike forums.

Like I said, contact AsianConnection71. They get them new from the Kawi dealerships there for a fraction of our price. They only have 650R parts listed but I'm pretty sure they can put up an auction for a 250R cowling.

I'm not associated with them at all but I've bought several 650R parts including fairings and it was 1/3 of our price. All came sealed in Kawi factory packaging.

I had a little accident myself not so long ago and all my left fairings have a few scratches and cracks. I bought the turning signal for $20 from someone, rear left fairing for $30, handle bar end for $10, and I'm doing my own repairs on the big fairing with a soldering iron... regarding the paint I'm still not sure if I'll do it myself or take it to a body shop. PM if you want more info.
 
20 dollar after market turn signal and a couple stickers to cover up the crack. You dropped it once, very good chance you'll do it again. Dont waste your money on replacing the fairing
 
In the future, remove the turn signal backing plates to keep this from happening again. They're not actually needed to keep the signals in place on those Ninjas. All they seem to do is punch a hole through the plastic when the bike is dropped.
 
I think I still have OEM blinkers off my 2011 250... If you're interested you can take one for free; you just have to pick up. Let me know if you want it and I will ensure that I still have it.

the blinker is 35 bucks - the side fearing is about 150 depending if is the upper or lower
I got all the prices as I helped someone buying all of these

If oyu really needed it I can look for them and who i got them from
