1989 GPX 250 Question

[SwanTiger]

FINALLY!

Problem solved and Solution in order.

After a free dinner (cheers DS) and plenty of shit talking, Mark, DeathStar and myself spent the night on the bloody engine. Oil was pissing out the breather and exhuast.

We practised removing the head on the fucked engine, and yes, it is well and truly cooked. All good.

So with our new found skills carefully removed the head on the good engine and discovered a chunk of the piston missing. Explains the oil.

New piston on order and will be a piece of piss to put back togeather.

He really is a drama queen.

and his girlfriend really does exist... we still can't believe it ... shes not bad either ... isn't that a crime?

[FROSTY:Me]

Give Henry a yell at TAKM. if thats the case then he should have a spare piston/head gasket/ring set.

[skidMark]

rang both mt eden and red baron they said 75.10 direct from kawasaki and i can have it monday....

rings look alriht and we managed to save the head gasket, well they did lol

[skidMark]

and keep your hands off my girl lol

[skidMark]

Mark DONT PANIC--ill put a big chunk of money down you havent cleaned the carbs out properly. To do it right you need compressed air and to take all the jets out.

how much was that chunk of money exactly? haha

[skidMark]

swanny ive just bought a piston now come fit it hahaha

**looks at the piston blankly , i dunno how to fit this s**t **

should be up and running soon

[XTC]

Why didn't you buy 2 pistons and new rings? Woulda been the smart thing to do.

[skidMark]

funds don't allow at the moment managed to get one in good condition from a wrecker so should be a good one...i mean heck it's gotta be better than one with a giant hole in it lol

[FROSTY:Me]

um a stupid question here--whats wrong with the piston from the other engine?? Did you call TAKM???

[SwanTiger]

Yeah I'll be over later yah' homo, how the fuck did you get a piston that fast?

[Mrs Busa Pete]

just shoot the thing and put it out of its misery.

Went around last night.

Mark had a go at putting the head togeather, fucked it up and dropped a washer down into the crank case JOY!

Head is on, need to sort out valves and kill Mark. Not in that order.

How about a beating with the gpx motor, then finding a nice big cliff to throw the whole bike off? What a major hassle this has been and mark I do hope you have learnt eh. Helps reinforce what I think about kawasaki though.

what, that they are a good bike so long as someone who doesn't know what they are doing, doesn't fuck with them?
