It's going for a pretty penny too

Maybe if I had more money than common sense

Woah. Looks very nice.
If someone's prepared to pay 10k for a NSR in repsol colours, I'd pay 6whatever for that Lucky Strike!

What's your starting point?

follow the guides on rgv250.co.uk and get some 34mm carb's off trademe or somewhere then a new cdi unit

**curious george** · 19th November 2005, 09:14

Yup, been there done that ages ago, I was wondering about your progress........
What pipes and CDI you running? Dyno'ed yet? Mods? Anything fancy?

**Squiggles** · 19th November 2005, 11:46

woops, should've read this before replying to your pm... havent started yet, funds dropped away just as i found some 34mm's on trademe

will build them back up over christmas and get the project on its way, will be looking for the L-Model CB1204 CDI unit, and perhaps Tyga pipes?

The later RGV's are the best for handling and also reliability, but you will still require a decent set of aftermarket powervalves

If you need stronger rgv250 powervalves these are the valves to get them:

iv riden both bikes, THIS IS MY OWN OPIONION i liked the nsr better mc28 it has a smaller rear trye=more feel and when derestricted go a bit better. there are more parts out there for nsrs.

BE CAREFULL swip card ignitions are cool but also can be a pain in the arse if you loose it $500 and they are almost imposiable to derestrict yourself as its all wire looping and tricking the computer to hold the pvs open after 10k.

After all this i got an rgv250 insted vj22. pluged in the derestricted sapc unit and away you go. pvs CAN BE FIXED but be carefull. Take the bike to a proper bike store and get it checked out befor buying.

Heres how i fixed my pv at work

Ya might want to check the dates on the posts

**tychver** · 11th July 2009, 15:10

The NSR is a better bike. Get close with the guys from nsr-world and tyga performance.

EDIT whoa holy thread dredge
