For Sale: FXR150

[xwhatsit]

Laugh as much as you want BITCH! This is gonna be my bucket racer/commuter while I keep saving for my "big girls bike". Its gonna be alot cheaper than the friggen train so I can still race street stock as well. I plan to just nylon and sticker up the bike so I can ride to the bucket races and race then ride it home again. All quite simple really.

Fingers crossed that it will be more reliable than my RG on the road!

All right, if you're going bucketing, here's what you need to know. The CB250RS carb is slightly rich with the pod filter on. I'd take the filter off and run it open, jetting should be just about perfect (you may want to experiment with needle height). You'll find it'll choke if you snap open the throttle like you would with a CV carb bike -- either connect up the accelerator pumper (just a spring) on a fairly low setting (but lean off the jetting/needle height), or leave it disconnected and learn to be smooth with the throttle.

With the bigger carb it revs like a mofo, it wants to go past redline, but (probably a good thing) hits the rev limiter in the CDI.

There's a hell of lot of useless weight on that bike. I'd bin all the plastic fairing crap, tailpiece, dash etc. It's not like you're pulling 100mph and need the aerodynamics (scoff!).

Cheers for the advice mate. Im gonna replace the carb with a "proper" one. I will be leaving all the "crap" on it really only cause I want to have a road bike more so than just a bucket racer for a year or two. Once I dont need it as a commuter then I will strip it down completely and destroy it!
