ZXR 250

[Blakamin]

Good advice, I am new to dealing with bike shops as when I had motorcross bikes it was always private sale (plus I could fix them without removing half of the bike first). I am a little unsure of how genuine bike shops are with pre inspection and workshops reports. I would have assumed they noticed these noises and discounted them. I guess it comes down to how much of a concern people think these noises are as it is always difficult to get independant checks when you work all day. I am planning on having the bike for a year so considereing leaving it but quering the bike shop later tonight when I go back.

Thanks for all you advise

Which bike shop are you dealing with?

What model ZXR is it?

Something like this one?

Hey as with other post get bike back to shop. ASAP so you don't loose the chance of getting it fixed if there is something wrong .Which by the sound's of it there may well be. Don't get bullshitted by a fuckwit sale's guy . Take a mate or friend that know's about bike's so you don't get spun aline that it's suppose to sound like that . If your not happy tell them to fix it or get your money back !! Sensei

I wrote mine off into a Taxi, it broke right in half.

I can't remember much about it....

While all the ZXR owners are gathering in this thread, does anyone have an idea on the quartermile time?

[shandawg]

Hmm...

My guess would be... ...high 13's?

[aff-man]

ummmmmmmmmmm maybe high 12's if you really good. Dunno never tried. I tried timing 0 to 100 and kept getting just under 4s which i know can't be right so gave up.

hi there. the zxr250s have a rep for noisey cam chains. try either oiling them or if you want you can replace them but it will probably come back. hope i could help

[Jonty]

Thanks,

I think it has a recent chain on it anyhow. It is not too bad so I will keep an eye on it in case it gets worse.

cheers
