What do you need to know?
Some really good information threads on here. Some good aftermarket part threads as well, so you can start modding as soon as possible.
Hit the search bar up the top, and if you can't find what you want, just ask! Lots of people here who have done most there is to do on these bikes, and if we don't know, we'll work it out together!

Welcome Ratlab, do you have any experience with bikes at all? If not first recommendation is gettiong yourself into an MSF course or something similar depending on where you live! Learn how to handle a bike and ensure you are going to like it before taking the plunge and buying a bike.
Having said that, you can't go wrong with the Ninja 250R, it is a great bike to learn the trade on, and also has enough in the tank to keep experienced riders on their toes! D be afraid toask questions, we don't bite........much!!!

Welcome Ratlab. Feel free to refrain from answering any of these questions if you'd prefer to not. let the interrogation begin:
Bike experience?
Age?
Gender?
Safety gear?
Purpose of bike?
Location?
Do you have a secondary vehicle for inclement weathers?
Do you own a motorcycle now?
Have you taken the MSF safety course?
lol, in short, what is your business here?
It's easier to provide you with the info you need if we have the info we need....
Hope you enjoy it here as much as the rest of us do.

Easy? no no, the carbs don't come out easy. I've heard from a guy who jetting a bunch of 250's for out 250 production cup that he found the carbs to come out the left side of the bike the easiest. I personally find taking them out the top to be the "easiest", but easy is a very relative term here... It's more like "easy" compared to quantum physics or something... 
Yea, it's a pain..
Dag ratlab, I wish I had money like you...
