CBR250r MC19 parts

[Hurrie]

sorry to be abit off topic, but how many k's have your cbr's done, and what did you pay for them? if u dont mind me asking... i only ask because im looking for my first bike atm

i bought my one for $3200 and it's done 22000km but i spent another grand on tyres and brake pads and forkseals and just doing a full service for it, but i reckon i still got it pretty cheap

[Gibbo89]

ahh cool. 3200 seems like a good price, could you tell personally if it had been thrashed or anything, or before buying it did you get it checked by a mechanic??

[Hurrie]

well i took it to my mechanic and he told me that it needed all that stuff, and there was also a fair bit of rust on it and i could tell that it had been dropped at some stage since the right engine side cover looked like it had been repainted with the wrong kind of paint so it was peeling off, when you go check out your bike just have a good look at the engine side covers if they are visible and also look for scrapes on the foot pegs or exhaust that could indicate it being dropped. also if you're gonna buy an oldish bike have a look in the petrol tank and see if you can spot any rust in it just cause this can be a pain to get rid of later, i've had that problem with both the bikes i've owned but it was worse with my old cbr to the point that rust would block up the fuel filter and would make the whole bike just turn off while riding it. so keep an eye out for that. also it would pay to put the rego number through car jam and check its mileage history since in some cases the odometer can click over the 100000 mark and just read all zero's (as if its brand new).

I brought My MC19 about a month ago and it stung me $4,500 and it only had 4,282Km's on the clock, all ligit it was imported two years ago with 2,300 k's on it and came with the original Odo paper work to prove so, the guy through in a new battery and service and had only had new tyres 3 months prior the thing still looks like its brand new for an '89 you could pass it off as an '00 bike if you wernt awear of the differences, that was through trademe, awesome fella to deal with too he even through in some free Astar gloves and a full print out of the work book manual

Since these bikes were JDM, many of them had their odometers wound back in Japan prior to importation into NZ.

Yeah I dont think I have seen the paintwork similar to my bike on many other CBR's , Its a wonderful little bike, it has a hole in the muffler at the moment so im working on the funds for that haha.

is the whole by any chance at the bottom of the muffler near the welding? cause if it is, its not a fault its how its designed so that the moisture doesnt build up. i've had 2 cbr's and they've both had the same hole in the same spot.

[DrunkenMistake]

Yeah theres one there, but theres its gotten bigger and it continues under the cover up the muffler
