  HaHa!   Silly Wabbit!  Don't you know   Kawasaki lets the good times Roll!!
        Glad you guys had a good time.   Wait 'til you get the bugs worked out... I'll look for the Team Green jetting chart and hopefully get you a little closer than having to ride with the choke on... Hey, at least you knew enough to pull the choke and get some riding in.
  I'll post back with the jetting suggestions.  You might consider giving the girl a once over to verify there isn't anything else gonna come apart on you at an inopportune time!

oh yea that things a blast. Thanks for the help dude, if just a rejet would make that thing run like a top that would be great! Ill post up pics and a youtube link to show you how it idles, but yea Im stoked my bro didnt blow the the motor I heard it make a weird noise and it was just because the plug came out and the motor was still spinning super fast! but yea thanks again for the info!

Sorry I couldn't find the older Team Green stuff.
  I did find an article written a little better than the last one on jetting.

http://www.chicagostories.net/ericgorr/EG_Carb%20Tuning.html

   The bikes usually come jetted pretty fat from the factory.
 
  (Stock)
Main Jet  172
slide cut-away  #7
jet needle R1368J   3rd clip position
Pilot  52
Air Screw 11/2 turns out
Float height 15-17 mm

I think if it were me,  I'd order a couple a #170 and #168 main  and  a #48 & #50 pilot.
  This should be safe enough that you won't melt anything and shouldn't break the bank.

Maybe some of the other guys with 250's will chime in on their set up.  Any way,
 
There are several places to get jets from other than a local dealer.   
   Jets R Us has a minimum shipping charge of like $7.50
    Rockymountain Atv/MC is like $7.00     
   Carb Parts Warehouse  Etc.

If you have a shop near home it may end up being cheaper than ordering online  (account of shipping)  even though the items will usually be more expensive.

 I didn't see where you state if your bike has any mods or how hard you guys ride and all.   

 Read through the Eric Gorr article and you'll  get a pretty good Idea of what to look for to get the bike running SHWEET,  as my kids used to say...
     Take Care,
  Tuck\o/

Turns out I was turning the gas past the "on" position on the petcock (its all faded) It runs perfect now, ive got more stuff for it now which made it much more ride able! ill actually put pics up this weekend I almost had to sell it cause I got caught by cops trying to bump start it down the street (stupid) lol wouldn't start cause the gas wasn;t properly "on" but its all better now!
