250 screamer

plodder · Post by **plodder** » Fri Jan 12, 2007 1:18 pm

I bought a basket case FZR250 import.

Superficially and bodywork wise it's in a bit of a state but the chassis and engine appear to be OK.

Not sure what I'm going to do with it but carbs are flooding and front brake calipers are off so probably siezed so I'll sort them out and see from there.

Trying to make room for it in my garage is hard at the minute, so the black RU is up for sale. PM if interested.

I think it would be better for the track!

Not much good on the road unless you have a lot of time on your hands. Especially after riding a big torquey litre bike

Be a track day hero and stuff the Blades with your corner speed.

I've done a bit of work on the 250 now such that it's in a state where it can be ridden up and down the road

. Engine isn't smoking anything like as much as it was.

Still got to do the hanging off indicators and some lights don't work... oh yes and the plastics... yes... the plastics

. Fibreglass time

.

Still... it keeps me out of mischief

"Its alive Igor. The monster lives."

Ok Dr Frankenstein

that'd make someone a good learner bike maybe if they doing direct access?

I've been having problems with intermittent bogging downa and stalling so I've given it a good going over.

It look like it was due to a duff coil. Once I replaced it replaced it was all good.

.

Not sure about direct access... what's the limits?

The Fizzer is 45 HP and 250 cc

I think cc is okay coz you can have a sleeved 600, but bhp is about 33bhp. Not sure coz I'm too old to have done direct access thingy.

Depends on what mood your in.

Now let me see, how fast were you going on your exup recently? Was that 60 or 160?

Good job your missus don't know how fast you ride.

I think this years ride outs could be alot quicker than last year.

Especially the welsh run.
