zxr250 opinions?

my ZXR always seemed to be a little more fiesty with the side fairings off, so i left the hose out...

That's what I figured. Just wondering because my cage actually got a little extra HP from 'cold air induction' (this is code for 'I stuck a longer air intake hose on it and moved the mouth of it where it caught the airflow more'

). I really couldn't see it making much difference on my bike though.

oh one other question, which flavour of petrol is best to use in a zxr250c 91 or 96?

**gamgee** · 26th October 2005, 20:29

bumpitity.

**texmo** · 26th October 2005, 20:50

race gas is best....

**John** · 26th October 2005, 20:53

well, it will really depend on your compression - I cant use 91 in mine as it knocks so I am stuck on 96. But most other people seem fine on 91.

**gamgee** · 26th October 2005, 20:57

so is it better to run it on 96, will i get better fuel economy, i'm not to worried about the little extra cost if it means i get performance/ economy/ reliability increases

**John** · 26th October 2005, 20:59

Well its all going to depend on what condition the bike is in, the best thing you can do is run a tank of 91 through it, if it runs fine on that and doesnt knock then keep using 91 else move up to 96..

But normally I just run my bikes at the lowest octane that I possibly can.

Mine gets minor preignition and stuttering and shit like that on 91 also it runs way hotter. I use 96 and get better economy and smoother delivery. My carbs are weird though.

**gamgee** · 26th October 2005, 21:03

haha can someone answer the question, even if it doesn't have trouble with 91, is it better to use 96? even if you don't need to...

**John** · 26th October 2005, 21:04

dude, do we haveto shove it down your throat?

IT DEPENDS ON THE BIKE! WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR HANDS...

just run it on pure av-gas and then it wont knock, it will smash smash good it will mmmm..

**gamgee** · 26th October 2005, 21:08

haha alright, alright, calm down, calm down (i'm not scouse (however the fuck thats spelt)) go get a honda? why are they more reliable bikes? or is it just that they are faster?
