My GT250R slowly getting modded

[neop26]

If you read my posts you will see I have never said I dislike hyos. The only posts after the first two I have made have been in reply to Hyo owners who think looking at a Hyo wrong is akin to genocide suffering from "short dick can't read itus".

All I am saying is that it's only a 250 (especially a newer hyo/ninja). Any power gains you get will be minor and very costly.

If you want a faster bike get one, otherwise if you're happy with what you have go clap your hands.

Agreed! I am going to remove that post since .... it is not what I meant to say... bad sportmanship from me mate...

As I said before... i would love to get a faster bike but not right now... not ready for that mentally and financially

I am not looking at spending thousands and thousands on the hyo... just a bit here and there... nothing major....

Cheers no hard feelings mate!

[neop26]

I personally agree with this. I dont understand the modding out a 250 but hey, if you want to go ahead.

I have a hyo and am happy with it, I will be keeping it as a commuter when I upgrade due to how cheap it is on gas.

Just replaced my wheels front and back with Perilli sport demons and couldn't be happier ($350 all up + Fitting)
I can not see the sense in doing the muffler except to make noise. I would rather fix the shoddy front suspension.

And what is with all the stickers over the bikes???? it makes your bike look like more of a scrapbook than a bike...

Just my 2c and all

Hey

Thanks for your comments....

350 bucks was including tires? Wow nice one.. could you share the info

About the stickers.... hehehehehe see that you are in Welly .... stop me and give me an earful mate ....

[neop26]

So my statement still stands.

Only do the muffler to make noise. $400 or so to make a sound? still can not see the sense...

Kinda like those boy racers who put large boom boxes in their cars....

BOOOOOMBUDA......Car rattles and shakes.

Each to their own though

I am no expert but I did notice a lil more difference and push to the bike when I had my pipes changes... esp going uphill

Probably agree with you on a flat road and downhill,...

Love driving through the car park and setting car alarms to go off

Took pics of my airbox mod for a different forum (that actually cares *glares at Hiflyer*)

That's a K&N R-0990 filter; pops straight on, no mods necessary

Good job mate....

Love to hear more about what you did and source of all the stuff...

I got the tyres done at TSS Red Baron in Alicetown/Lower Hutt

Perilli Sport Demon
Front was $142.90
Rear was $204.90

Fitting was $45 each end or $30 if you just take in the wheels.
So it was $437.80 Total

Cheers

haha I had a hyosung before it got stolen, and I reckon theyre awesome bikes. EDIT: If I get another 250 for whatever reason it'll be another hyosung.

That post was a joke from a certain "special" member who reckond he gained a shitload of HP by doing no mods to the engine.

look up meowmix on the forums, he put pod filters and jetted his 250 comet, creates a mean induction sound and actually gives it a noticeable bit of pep.

Mate looking back at what I wrote... i think I wrote and reacted a bit too much... couldnt agree more... had a shitty day... sorry didnt mean it that way...

I love this bike... I cant affort another one for a long time...

The wheels are more from a safety and comfort point of view... the stock tires are crap... i keep skidding ol over the place (luckily not coming off ) all over Welly

Cheers

Ah ok so you meant tires, not wheels wheels. I thought you were talking along the lines of Marchesini light weight wheels, as for sale here:

Which of course are just a tad on the expensive side compared to new tires.

As Eyegasm just posted go Pirelli Sport Demons, they are spectacular. Or Dunlop GPR100s, they are a great tire as well. Another option is a GPR-A10 but unless you're at the track every week then really don't bother.

If I were you they'd take priority over a new exhaust or anything else... a new can is less satisfying when it has scrapes all over it lol.

Good on you.

Yeah I know you were just having fun, needed some member to rap on though ;p

I know Meowmix from the korider forums, he did the splatterguard for his pod filters with a tin can aparently which gave me the idea for the airbox mod I did.

He is very DIY, must be cos he's from up north.

On a side note, His bike does give the hornet a run for it's money. (But mines still faster :P)

[avgas]

Show me a more then one when where build quality is an issue.

Errr every nut and bolt on one is an issue. Great bikes - but the FXR, RGV and RG 150's all had the worst metal in their construction.
But really you can not expect alot for sub $4K bikes BRAND NEW really. And what they lacked in build quality the definitely made up in technology and performance.
Great bikes.

I'll have to head up and have a go some time then see how mine ranks up

Mate I just drooled looking at those wheels...

Forgive me ... back home we called tires = wheels and wheels = alloys have given two wacks to my head for the confusion....

Pirelli's looks like an affordable option... i did read something over at korider... will post back i think they were http://www.ragingparts.com/Michelin-...p/700-0045.htm but they show that they are for the 650's wonder if it would fit the 250's
