[-JC & Eleanor-]

Hi guys and girls!

im new here, and to the biking scene... i decided to go with the 2-stroke bike cus shes a sexy bike and easy to work on, also because shes fukn fast!

She got the named Eleanor (from gone in 60 seconds, fast but unreliable :), basically because she broke down 1 1/2 hours of riding when i first got the bike!!! lol but all good now :)

id like to know a few things id like to know...

-0-100 times??? i seem to make it v fast up to 100 km/h!!!

-who else is riding them??!!! iv seen one out on the roads represent!

-and also some more general info... like wether to sit in 6th gear on the m-wae?? jus from wht iv been told you need to keep the revs up!

-also reserve tanks... mine dosent seem to work?? switch round wrong way??

let me know if your riding one beacuse im having a blast and would love to come out on a ride with other riders !and catch up n learn more about my bike.

thanks everyone!!! n take care Riders!!

*whistles through teeth*

Damn, that's a lot of exclaimation marks.

[Prof - R]

hello there well am one of the loucky guys that does own an NSR250 must say that its an awesome bike to ride & lots of fun .. well one day we should meet up for a ride or you should come along to one of those club 250 ride you would have a ball of a time43791

[Mr. Peanut]

My reserve doesnt work for shit. 0-100 in about 3.5 seconds. 6th gear is fine on the motorway.

But dont use it on the motorway ^_^ it's a waste. As long as you dont labour the engine, low revs are ok. It just tends to oil the engine up if you go too long without a decent blast.

Use a good synthetic oil, and let it warm up properly before wringing it.

Do you know a Chris Fry?

[-JC & Eleanor-]

thenks man great help :) im going to be organising a ride for the north shore riders and Auks if youd be keen... thatd be cool for you to come along!!

Cheers let me know if your keen to come along so i can organise numbers...

chur chur

jc & Eleanor.

[Unforgiven]

Im not exactly on an NSR, but Ill be keen to come south for the ride.

[lukelin250]

my fucking reserve doesnt work ,,why cant i piss petrol?? 91 unleaded preferably!!! :done:

[Mr. Peanut]

You use 91? 96 would be preferable.

[lukelin250]

youd think so,but think about the fact that our bikes were made pre 96 when 91 was the best petrol,so our bikes are made to maximise the benefits of 91 not 96 theres no extra gain out of 96 except maybe run the engine a bit cleaner but other than that you just risk burning rubber bits in the engine,,orings gaskets n shit

[Ixion]

Why do you want unleaded in a two smoker? Think of your seals.

[lukelin250]

every month run a tank of the 96 or 98

I don't geddit :mellow:

[lukelin250]

oh those poor darlings,do you think they are of age?? using protection?? are of differant sexes??

what sould my nsr be pissing then?? 91 or 96??

cheers :)

Two strokes have low effective compression ratios . So usually (always a usually, YYMV) high octane is a waste of money.

But what matters is the lead. There is a body of opinion that considers (but has not got enough evidence to unequivocally prove) that unleaded petrol does nasty things to two smoker crank seals. Not real nasty as in crap out immediately. But "halve the expected life of the component" nasty.

The jury is out as to whether this is due to the absence of the tetra ethyl lead (similar to four stroke valve seats); or to the presence of other gunk added by petrol companies to compensate (in terms of octane building) for the removal of the lead.

If this is true (and lord knows that I know nothing) but how come Japan has been running unleaded for at least the last 10 years (and possibly up to 20) and designing bikes that only last half as long on unleaded petrol?
Honestly, all this 'which petrol is best' buggary-bollocks just does your head in. Japanese bikes are designed for unleaded petrol - stop stressing.
Unless you're running higher compression than standard, use the cheap stuff.

[Ixion]

Ubh huh. How many road going two strokes have the Japs produced in the last 10 years ? On a racing MX , seal life is going to be way down the repair list, they'll be replaced long before they wear out justa s part of the regular rebuild schedule.

[SimJen]

Don't worry about unleaded. I've run many thousands of miles on NSR's and not a problem.
96 octane is good, especially to stop detonation (the killer of two strokes), as soon as you add chambers etc, a higher octane will add a further safeguard to your motor. Mine always ran better on 95-96 than 91.
Main problem with NSR's is the cranks, if you don't look after them the bearings can fail. Good oil, always warm the bike before thrashing etc.
I used to run www.nsr250sp.com which had lots of info on it.
Join the NSR250 mailing list or head over to www.nsrworld.com for info.

[Mr. Peanut]

Exactly... the bearings on an NSR fail before the crank seals.

Oh Koyo, how I hate you so.

[Mr. Peanut]

What is it with NSR riders anyway? You're all a bunch of fucken wierdos :bleh:

MrPeanut is using self deprecation as a comedic device. We shall shortly discover if he admit to being 'not very good at it'

Hey, I am a creamy puff, no?

Please accept my most humble apologies dear Ixion - I shall refrain forthwith from unleashing my capacity for verbosity on this forum....er...och aye the noo jimmy...gonae no dae that? ....stand up straight ti' ah' pit the heid in ye yas bassa....is that better? Must be the 2 stroke fumes affecting me and making me artificially intelligent - will return to riding 4 stroke V-twin forthwith.

[Ixion]

,,Must be the 2 stroke fumes affecting me and making me artificially intelligent - ,,.

Oh, you should have said. Increased intelligence is a well known effect of two smoking. You meet the brainiest people on a two smoker. Articulate, witty, good looking, and possessed of remarkable sexual prowess, also. Wonderful stuff , two stroke smoke.

[Mr. Peanut]

I'm incapable of fully expressing myself. The complexity of thought is there, but the vocabulary is not.

I blame google, the copy-paste function, and working in a supermarket for nigh on 2 years...

Thames has a supermarket?:gob:

PS Ixion - edit the word prowess - late arivals to this thread may capitalise on the ironic combination of verbosity and mis spolling

[inlinefour]

just poked my nose into this 250cc forum. Have a RD250LC now, its what I started off on all those years ago and in its day (before the nsr & rgv) was rather formidible. Used to race my mates on their rg250, kr250a & mvx250. All but the latter being good bikes.

[Whynot]

not for long .... it's been sinking further and further into the mud since it was built :innocent:

[lukelin250]

sexual prowess mmmmmmmm!!! :doctor:

mvx was pretty good while it stayed going. And at that it wasn't so much worse than the KRIS. RD was bullet proof though - so was the X7

we laughed at our mate with the MVX as it was so slow compared to the other bikes. RD was bullet proof, rebuilt it 3 times after max abuse and it just kept on ticking...

[Black Bandit]

... RD was bullet proof, rebuilt it 3 times ...

:laugh: :laugh: :rofl: :weird:

Now there's an oxymoron for ya. Must be a 2-stroke thing

Unless you have owned a 2-smoker and ridden it beyond the inch of its life mostly, I guess ya just would know about such things...

Much like a MX bike is rebuilt every X amount of hours, the RD was rebuilt to keep it in good nick and competitive. Was also a good way for myself as a yonger fellow learn about such thins as rebuilding a 2-smoker is somewhat easier than a 4-stroke. But like I previously stated, unless you have done these things ya don't know.

I sometimes forget that many ride but do not tinker... :shit:
