If the clutch is really wearing you out... and you (or someone you know) are mechanically inclined... you can switch out the clutch lever/perch from a ninja500 onto your 250... you can adjust that lever so you don't need to reach as far to squeeze the clutch.
KarateChick... neither of your bikes were the US ex250... the Canadian bikes are a lot fancier (and more expensive)... we don't get adjustable levers or aluminum frames or a few other things.
Kawi 250 when to shift

Yeah, it sucks for us... all the way to the bank.
Canada got the EX250H in 2000. We still get the EX250F
H: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Kawa ... ano_-2.jpg
F: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ninja250Front.jpg
The EX250H is better known as the ZZR-250... but in Canada it was sold as an EX250 for a few years.
I would like the H better as a bike... but I muuuch preferred paying for the F.

one day i'll be able to squeeze an apple and make it explode!
I'd say use 'em any time you plan on going over 20MPH... but that's me...
You know what they say about leading a horse to water....
My left arm was sore for days after the first MSF range day... just from constantly working the clutch. Now I hardly notice the effort. I'm not sure I like where you are going with this apple thing though....

www.powerballs.com sells some interesting grip strengtheners. Minds outta the gutters BOYS! You can pick them up at pretty much any sports store that sells climbing equipment.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
