[aff-man]

[Magua]

Not anytime soon, my phone has recently gone bust and I think I'd like to get the seats recovered first.

Hi Magua.

You might like to check out this site:

They have a forum group you can discuss whatever in and you can download the FZR250 manuals off their site too.

I picked up this little beauty yesterday morning for $1600, mechanically sound, cosmetically flawed. The power difference is massive from my last bike. 35,000k's. Just need to get my restricted so I can get onto the motorway and put the bike to the test.

Nice bike M.

Pardon my ignorance but why do you need a restricted to take it on the motorway? Your learners is enough isnt it?

[Bandito]

Congratulations! a fine sted is the FZR250 just remember to look after thoose hard working internals and stay upright!

[aff-man]

learners restricts you to 70km/h. so you can theoretically go o the motorway but it would be very lethally dangerous

[Magua]

Thanks celtic, I was planning on booking my liscence today but I'm more of a fair weather rider. Well atleast until I get some pants that can keep the rain out. I have exceeded the 70kph restriction around Albany but I'd rather not risk it on the motorway.

Book early man i had to wait an agonizing 3 weeks for nearest time

[aff-man]

no i am not bored really no i meant it well maybe just a little

[FROSTY:Me]

good onya dude--those li fzr's are darn good lil bikes.
Just one bit of advise--Bitter experience here. Make up some crankcase sliders/covers -I promise it'll be worth while and save ya heaps in the long run.

Think there was a guy on Trademe advertising some FZR250 fibreglass fairings, not listed at the moment but he may relist. Think his name is Gdog?

I had to wait a month, and that's taking advantage of someone elses cancelation. Otherwise it would have been longer.

I'm going to plead ignorant and say hwa? What are those?

[aff-man]

things to go over the crank case so if it "accedentally" goes over they crank case doesn't split open/cost you money etc etc etc (am i right??)

[riffer]

I'm going to plead ignorant and say hwa? What are those?

Think of an L-shaped bracket that mounts to the frame at the bottom of the engine and bends around to protect the crankcase covers if(when) you drop the bike on its side.

Please tell me you know what a crankcase is Magua
