Informal KB Chch ride - with pics!

[Rashika]

ha yeah i know where your talking about fully, actually back a few years parts of that area used to be bad for damn sheep charging across the road, had a couple of close ones like that

Still happens today...
Dangerous tried to take a couple out a month or so back, glad he was first and not me!

When I was a new rider, on a single 250, occasionally I would forget to turn the choke off. That made it stall at the lights when it got hot... maybe you were doing that when first getting used to the bike? Now you've had it a few days, maybe you're remembering to turn it off?

Had thought about that, and a couple of times that was probably the cause. But over the next few days I made a concious effort to make sure the choke was off, and it still did it pretty regularly, so it doesn't seem it was just the choke. Sometimes it'd just cough and splutter, revs dying... and when I tried to give the throttle a gentle tweak to keep it alive it'd conk out. I've found that giving the throttle small tweaks while decelerating helps a lot, so that when I'm stopped, it keeps running.

How you doing these days, now you've got your bike? Had an off day a little bit ago...

Maybe a tickle on the idle stop then :/ Might find the carb is just getting old, and not metering as well as it used to. Maybe some grit made its way in with your fuel line troubles. I guess there's a pilot jet metering the low speed fuel, they're pretty tiny, wouldn't take much to partial block it. If it goes away, ignore it

Pulled this out of my collection of goodies for you Redge, it may be of interest.

when i see you on Sat, i'll give the bike a once over for you. dicking around with idle screw is a temp fix & has to be done properly otherwise you just end up drilling it into the slide & that causes more grief than good

They look so much better with the fairing.

I played around with the idle mixture screw a bit on it.

Singles tend to be more temperamental than multis, with spitting back etc.

Sheeesh I can remember as a 17 year old boy kicking over an XR-600 and have it nearly catapult me over the bars when it kicked back....I think the NZ-250 is fine in that respect

HaHa nah not me I've had the wee buggers jump off the bank on to the road & roll around on their backs in front of me, its always been so inconvenient though, its never been dark enough to stop

I find you always do a sheep at the edge of a hill, they push back harder that way.....

and don't forget the gumboots to stick their back legs down and the velcro gloves
