Just Anything Need To Know More About My Kawasaki ZXR250r That I Can Do To It To Make It Proform Better In Some Way
The biggest problem with performance of a bike is the rider, the bike will generally always out perform the rider, best thing to do is get decent gear and decent tyres
if you want to spend big go the suspension route.......

It will show whether you are pushing the motorcycle to the limits..... just because you get you knee down, doesn't mean your pushing it too the limits, getting to the edge of the tyre/scraping the pegs means you are....

Motoracer on occasion is a FXR rider, so how about you leave that shit that you were carrying out on the FXR website and stop posting pointless threads and posts, or piss off. This is a respectable site with people that are mature and post and create threads that are useful and knowledgable, so far i have seen none of that in you....

Enrol in a riding school. You are young enough to unlearn any bad habits you might have picked up.
Before you get pissed off --Im three times your age and have never stopped riding since I was 14 years old. Even so I still have a lot to learn about going fast.
Come along to one of the Brian bernard race schools at Taupo or I think there is one down at manfeild.

Ok here is a piece of advise. Read the posts in the threads first. See what kind of disscussions go on around here. If you think thats your cup of tea, by all means join and contribute.

If you however decide to go on like this, I am sure you will have everyone ignoring you or if it gets bad enough the administrator might be able to kick you off.

We are a fun bunch and not some boaring group of old farts but this definetly isn't a teeniebopper chat room.

Sc8r boi --Look heres reality --I know you are 10 feet tall and indestructable.--But your bike is capable of 180km/h -possibly a bit more
Unless you have been racing before buying it then you need to explore its abilities as it stands before looking to tweak it up.

That photo of the ZXR in your profile looks suspiciously like the ones that bike shops take for ads on BikePoint and the like.

Please stop being silly. It's annoying, and detracts from the quality of the forum. Why don't you surprise us all by writing a few posts in something resembling proper English, eh? Don't know how old you are, but I'm pretty sure I could have managed better by age 7 or so.

Unless you're a troll, in which case, well done, and you can go away now. Ta.

That is mt edens zxr. Did you buy it????? if so you shouldn't need to tweak it those guys set the bikes up properly. And if you are new to riding start thinking about how you ride if the bike is feeling a bit odd it may be your riding position. Check tyres as well cause there is no substitute for good rubber

hey sk8r,
im new to this game, i also have a ZXR250, so does andrew, and so does AFF-MAN and probably as many as 5 others. Mine is in parts and i am gonna be building it up to put on the road. Now assuming you paid full price for your ZXR, which woulda been in the vicinity of around $5,000, the question im asking you is: If you own a ZXR250 AND a RG150 then why didnt you just spend your money on buying an Aprilia RS250, a Yamaha TZR250, a Suzuki RGV250 or a Honda CBR250??? All these bikes are race spec or two stroke and would be a lot "boy-racer" like. I myself am i "boyracer" I got my skills from riding with some Ulysses (sorry if i spelt it wrong) people on a training day. If you want to get respect from people, Ride well, and have a phat ride, it dont have to be fast to be cool. My ZXR wont be pushed too hard but i am planning on running neons and a few other custom mods. Did you think about an exhaust system - the obvious first for increased "performance" as it gets you another 2-10 horses out of ur bike, or how bout losing some weight so you bike dont have to push as had :eek:

R6_kid
12th May 2004, 16:10
i do agree with the others, best way to increase performance is to improve your riding. If you want to do it through your bike, go tires, brakes, suspension, before you even touch the power.
Then you can try pumping up the pony with a better exhaust system, i've also heard that ZXR's have trouble with cooling unless its going fast so maybe a beefier radiator fan. From what i have heard, bike mechanics arent to fond of 250's, too small, too much of a pain in the ass!!!
Just remember, 95% in here (give or take 5%) are only amateurs and enthusiasts, so the best thing to do is go talk 2 a bike shop or a performance workshop and ask them for advice, afterall they aint gonna charge for asking questions.

Yeah im thinking about buying green or blue neons for my bike [cheap warehouse ones do the trick just get a waterproof housing for them and ya be sweet] and also an arrow exhaust system....HOPEFULLY :Punk:

I was thinking about a Suzuki rgv250 but nah, i dont really like that 2strokes that much i like the nice smooth 4stroke sound not the ring rang type of noise of a 2stroke but some 2strokes are sweet my suzuki rg150 was a ta loud aye

i say go with two smoker on this one. Improve handling and on road performance before you touch nething mechanical. If you wanna know why, get Gran Turismo 3 (sorry for the reference to cars but its for educational purposes), with some money buy a skyline or sumthing mid range, test drive it and get used to it, then blow all ur cash up grading only engine parts, no brakes, suspension etc, then test it on the same track and see what you can do with it, you'll see u probly suck shit at it, in cars this is ok, but on a bike u probly only got one chance!!!

Are you going to sell your RG???? if so, i could be keen for some parts :niceone:

13th May 2004, 00:36
Seriously i recoment mtr01's for the front and gp70(or gp80) for the rear. I used to run a mtr02 on thr rear but they stopped importing the size. As for suspension check when you sit on the bike it goes down evenly you don't want the front to soft. To improve handeling drop the front a bit and lift the rear suspesion. This works pretty well. The little bike although gutless compared to 400 or 600's can put a lot of riders to shame in the twisties so don't worry about straight line power. Which reminds me hey TS wanna go for a short blat this weekend maybe sunday arvo between papakura and hanua there is this lovely bit of road and you can show me what the two smoker can do.

It blowed a hole in your exhaust? For someone to touch it for it to 'fall off' they would need to touch it about 4 times with a screwdriver and socket set.....nice try.

PS - was Arrow the only exhaust name you could come up with at short notice - or was it the first one on the google search?

Firsly i have seen a vid on Bikepics.com that shows a guys bike back firing so violently that the exhause literally is blown off. Verry funny stuff. But what i can tell from the vid it didn't look like no arrow exhaust to me. Secondly if this did happen to you ( in this reality) please explain how it managed to not only blow the bolted mddle of the exhaust but the bolts that hold it onto the pipe coming outas well. I tried taking mine off and that was enough of a mission so if yours did blow off did i take half your leg/body with it????

well according to the rego details it was anyways.
It was a gpz500 to ride mind you.
darn convenient cos I sold it to a um solidly built mate on a learner licence.
-He took the stickers off and told the cops it was a gpz250
with him on it it looked like a 250
