[Sketchy_Racer]

well i finally got it....... my 1989 CBR250R :banana: its so cool!!

but its needs a little bit of work- needs new fairings and its is only running on three at the moment :bash: i think it jst needs new spark plugs but cannot find out untill i can get some more- on wednesday.
i need new tires and new oil and other little bits n pieces.

if any one has any fairings for this and want to sell them to a poor 15yr old boy give us a bell - or PM

Cool feeling getting a new bike, good on you. I know the excitement. Just changed mine as well, what a rush. Enjoy your project:yes:

[Sparky Bills]

Sweet dude!
Thats gonna be good for the SS class!

[Sketchy_Racer]

yea im so excited lol and the first race on it might be at taupo track whice will be pretty cool

They make great SS bikes and it'll annihilate any RG/KR in your path so long as you keep the revs up. Just it was a stupid idea for me to get a $5500 CBR and race. It's best for me to sell it and buy something cheaper to race

[Ivan]

Yeah Glen I bet the owner of that bike before you was a good cunt:bleh:

Go hard man any troubles with the front brake

[Sketchy_Racer]

na fixed that lever - got the heat gun out :)

yea i dunno if this one will be really fast cause its alot older model than you one but once its running better than a rats arse it should fly :rockon:

hey~~ does anyone have a manual for these bikes?? it turns out i might have blown head gasket but iv never dealt with gear driven cams before and dont want to screw it up - if anyone wants to sell/lend one that would be great

cheers

new update

iv got the engine completly diassembled checking every tolerance to make sure it is perfect and the head is at the shop getting new valve seats pressed in and recut. while it is there they are going to crack test the head and once valves are back in they are going to pressure test them to make sure that they are sealing properly.

i have traked down some 'proper' fairngs for it as the last ones i got were for a cbr400 not the 250
i have sorted out the dash init - the one it has is a FZR dash so i ahd to wire it up to work.

this is gonna be one mint little bike once it is completed and i hope to have fun out of it and if i dont i will sell it and buy something else :)

cheers,Glenn

Shit, I wish I had the skill/knowledge to disassemble a motor

[svs]

Just a heads up for next years winter series. The streetstock 150/250 will be ALLOWED fibreglass fairings. That should make for cheaper repairs etc.

No skill or knowledge required to dissasemble, reassembly is the tricky bit.
