make her scream...all the way just short of the red line ..then make her scream some more! The cibbies like it like that huh!!???

Oi, let her warm up real good first eh? And use a good semi-synthetic oil (fully synthetic oil can cause problems with the wet clutch).

All that done, thrash the nuts off it.

As far as I'm concerned, if it says it can get there it goes there, end of story. Spent 10mins once chasing big bikes at 15-18~k full throttle, exhaust was ticking and the bike dripped a bit of oil once stopped. Fuckin incredible though.

Those cbr's take everything you throw at them, moreso than zxr250s.. hammer the little bugger! Hehehhe

A good rule of thumb for long engine life is the two-thirds rule. Do not exceed either two-thirds maximum revs or two-thirds full throttle in general use.

This does not apply to two strokes.

Nothing applies to two strokes. They break all canons of decent civilised behaviour. Noisy dirty polluting politically incorrect environmentally unsafe hoon machines.

Had me fooled there for a mo until I got to "hoon machines"! You're so right! I used to hoon around on the old T500 all right!

I went full throtle on my two stroke once for 10mins It ended up sliding next to me after it seized and high sided.

I wouldn't mind taking a look at your garage one day Ixion....

True, true. The two stroke is certainly not for everyone. Not all can cope with their idiosyncracies. Best to stick to the four stroke , eh.Much more sensible.Takes a very special sort of idiot to appreciate the two smoker.

How often is changing the Oil filter and oil? Like 5k or less?

I have been around bikes for years but you dont really change farm bikes oil

so whats often on a Road bike of the CBR250RR calibre?

take it to 29000..

then come buy a proper bike..
