CBR250RR

[Coyote]

Just got a 1992 CBR250RR (yay) and I'm about to go out and get my licence. Just wanted to know if there is any potential flaws with the bike I should look out for e.g rust in certain areas or parts that need regular checks.

Nope, its a honda, so its perfect

But seriously, there isn't anything on the CBR250's are well known for failing. Just check the normal things, make sure it has had it's oil changed regularly etc. If it has done over 30000kms make sure it has had it's valve clearances checked. Nothing else i can think of.

I was lucky to get this bike. It has only done just under 19,000kms. Plus its only got minor cuts and sctratches. Only been able to ride it up and down my driveway since I haven't got my licence yet.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Thats a pretty awesome bike you have there - bet you will really enjoy it Just not too fast up and down that driveway eh??

My mate had one, it still runs fine to my knowledge, they are good bikes (even though honda :P!) pretty much keep it serviced, treat it nice and it returns the favour.

On another note, why cant you get your licence for two more weeks?

Apart from the normal oil change and tyre wear, my old cbr went perfect
for the few years I had it.

Congrads on the new bike.

Her_B4, it's your old one if I remember correctly, eh? Saw it today, VERY nice! Now I am sad I have 5 more months to go

Here is the story:

You myst get your basic handling skills test done before you apply for your licence (so I'm told) and the place me and my dad have been reccomended to go to is the guys who run their basic handling skills course at the riverbank carpark in Lower Hutt. These guys run it every second saturday morning. The last time they did it was last saturday morn. The only time my dad could pick up the CBR was saturday afternoon, so I missed going there this time and have to wait two more weeks till the next time. BRILLIANT!!!

Don't you hate it when fate conspirers against you?

You dont have to do the cource on your bike, they should provide a suitable bike to do it on, I did mine on a gn250, didnt get much over 30Ks during the whole coruce though it was just carpark driving for an hour

but it is good to do it on your own bike! in fact, when i did mine, the guy recommended I did it on my bike!
Much better than the gn125s they had!

[ZorsT]

The one thats near me makes you pay rental for their bike, suppose thats fair enough.That means its cheaper to do it on your own bike, so why not?

The course I'm taking is with this group of instructors that go down to the Riverbank carpark in lower hutt, and they require you to bring your own bike. I've ridden the CBR to at least 30 on the driveway, so I think I'll do o.k on the day. Next Saturday! Can't wait

Congrats. Only thing i can say is that it is a honda and thier charging systems are crap. You may survive but if it starts giving you problems check the reg/rec first.

Congrats again and i hope you have fun. Doubt you'll be getting any sleep this week hahahhahahaha
