    i aint complaining dude. Im a greasemonkey wannabe, so if theirs something i can do on a bike to make it go or handle better (even if its completely uneccesarry) ill try to do it, assuming funds are available. teh blade is plenty powerful as it is, it doesnt NEED more horsepower, but if i was going on what i NEED, why would i ever want anything above a gsxr400...

    If Its Got A Kmh Speedo Itll Be Ok , Those Bikes Will Always Be Down On Power Cause The Engine Is Based On A Japanese Domestic Market 750 Aero , To Liven It Up Put A Free Flowing Can On It And Go Up 1 Jet Size , If It Dont Run Right You May Need To Open Your Muffler And Tap The Perf In With A Ball Peen Hammer Just A Bit At Opposite Ends And 180 Deg Apart , Good Luck With That Heapo Shit

    I've never heard of any restriction from factory on a 92 blade... u dont need to fit a 17" rim for a good tyre, there is plenty about that will fit them... also you'll loose ya speedo drive.

    that simply will not do! lol

    does anyone know how to liberate said fireblade? i think theres just a butterfly or throttle restrictor in the carb but i havent had a decent look at the bike so i dont know. Anyone done something like this before?

    unlikely.....I think it was the Swiss market?? that was (and is???) restricted to 100hp...poor bastards. The only HP restriction that bike should have is how far you twist the throttle grip.

    So lock wire the grip on so it can't rotate on the throttle tube and ring it's fucking neck!

    Just as a matter of interest, how much are you/did you pay for the 'blade?

    Compared to a GN it will be bloody potent & heavy. Spend all your money into making sure the tyres are good & not flattened off & good condition - would be time on a 14yr old bike to arbitrarily replace the steering head bearings & re oil the forks & shock.

    This bike will have over 6 times the power of the GN & frankly is a crazy step up. But no wait, I’m man enough. . .

    -- Ahh, old post & still sez GN250 so good call.

    errm, im buyin the thing next year.... gettin brothely rates ($5500) so im happy the bike has been maintained religously by my bro, so i have a good idea of where its worn and torn. the tyres still have like 8mm of tread on them though

    As for a crazy step up, im sure ill learn after a couple un intentional powerstands.... honest :P

    5.5k Is No Favour , Look Around Youd Get A 96 Gsxr750 For That Easy, Comes Stock With More Power , Better Brakes Usd Forks Etc Etc

    5.5k is pretty good for a 92, if its in original condition... i've seen a few sell on trademe for 7k upwards. i just like them cause of what they are... a 14 year old bike that u can still have a lot of fun, they look quite good considering the age and not many people have one, unlike some other bikes!
