The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
my own fault really.

If you cant find the tie rod, pop down to your local bike store with the tacho and ask them to point it out.

Tie rods are not always on the 1992 and onwards ZXR250C's. JSG has the painted alu box frame so must be 1992 or after. I think he has a swivel pin.
That swivel pin might be magnetising somehow with that tank being all sanded. - Could have broken off that way.
Gotta be careful because when they break/launch they can come out of the dial face, I have heard of a couple of people binning because of that at high speed, cracked the friggen visor. Some high voltages around there at high rpm mate so watch out.
I have got rid of the modded zx6r rubber sheath, it didn't last that long so now I have a teflon coated swivel pin. Bahahaha come on 40,000kms without problems!
Good luck mate.
And yeah if in doubt get the pro's to sort it out.

Im a newb to all this. Gyro's what stablises the tacho needle right? I must add tie-rods and swivel pins to my servicing list. Don't like getting whacked in the face by those things!
Forum whore
Yeah it can be dangerous. And you have to get a new visor with all the scratching.
SM: good idea getting it degaussed, I never thaught of that! Just replace them without thinking. Costs a bit too...
JSG if you want to borrow my tape head de-magnetiser you are welcome but I don't know if it is strong enough for de-gaussing those tie rods/swivel pins etc.

Can you modify the newer model gauge by putting water in it, will that do the same thing, or would that be silly.

Yeah I had a problem on a massive ride in that crappy weather up to northland with John where the speedo 'redlined' at 16,000rpm and the bike wouldnt go any faster. Went away in the morning after drying out. Was a real bitch passing all the cars in the pouring rain.Oi matey - you coming on the Slow ride down Cheenic DWive

Yeah I might see you fading away in the rear mirrors on the 5th 'slow' ride but I won't exactly be sticking with the slow people

Sweet - will only join you on Cheenic DwiveYeah I might see you fading away in the rear mirrors on the 5th 'slow' ride but I won't exactly be sticking with the slow people
frequent infrequenter
have you checked the magneto relay? that can be a common cause.. If you want, we could arrange to swap the dash from the 95 XZ6 I've got, and see if it's the charge in your clocks, or the wiring from the splits upwards..
The Dream.
JSG, did the new air make any diff? I was thinking of doing the same - do you have to let all the air out or what? Not sure if that will damage my new tires
---
I'm gonna most probably be at Gareth's on Sat afternoon in Greenhithe, could swing by your place later.
Are you free then??

It was fine on the way to work this morning on the old tyres.
Got new tyres so the air came with them.
