400 the way to go?

**Two Smoker** · 19th December 2004, 15:57

Yep 400 the way to go, but requires the full licence

**Coyote** · 19th December 2004, 16:14

Could always get a 400 and stick 250 stickers on it. Most cops wouldn't notice

**Two Smoker** · 19th December 2004, 16:18

LOL, by coincidence my 400 was registered as a Kawasaki ZXR.... no egine size stated on the rego...

I don't agree,however most RGV/TZR by now have had a sucession of owners had the nuts thrashed off them by everyone of them and quite often not maintained as it should have been and I think that's where a lot of the problems come from

Yeah good point, i have maintained my RG alot, and it hasnt blown up after 37000kms.....

Same...my rgv has had a hard life but served me faithfully. It all comes down to maintenance. I went to replace the rings once and upon reassembly noticed one of the pistons had a 1cm crack in the skirt. Just as well I decided to do it then otherwise it would've junked my engine and I'd be bagging 2-strokes now too!!!

Thanks for the help guys,ive been using motul oil and ngk plugs.Ill be doing a rebuild soon so i will be asking for help on that matter later or if it goes bang it will be sooner.The bike has dots stamped all over it so i guess its due for a rebuild soon.

**curious george** · 20th December 2004, 17:41

Dots? stamped all over it? Sure it's not measles?

**rgvj22a** · 20th December 2004, 18:56

The best medicine will probably be a rebuild i think

**Teflon** · 20th December 2004, 20:24

Can you still get Castrol TTS?, was the best smelling 2-stroke oil out, thats about 10yrs ago thou.

Had a NSR, great toy but siezed and highsided me. Only had about 32,000 on the clock and recent new rings.

**ktulu** · 21st December 2004, 22:57

Stop bagging two strokes TS, you know you love them.... I feel a RG vs RGV race here (just to boost my ego

)

I know first hand when they go bang they really go but fuck they are fun and so cheap compared to the four strokes, might aswell buy an RGV with a fucked engine for 1000 and spend 5000 absolutely rebuilding the engine to new rather than buy a 4 stroke because they are apparently "more reliable"
