Wellington based MC19 CBR250 owners - your help please

[aer0]

Hi Guys,

im currently riding my CBR250 on a daily basis... well have been since i got it.
i know the full history of the bike since it came into NZ some many years ago and its always been used as a daily rider.

My bike has 136,000 kms on the clock now... yes thats correct 136000kms, its been around the clock

see the speedo history here

Now with so many km's on it you would expect the engine is not in the best condition anymore, even tho its been looked after fairly well i think she is getting a little tired.

Im thinking of swapping the engine with one from the wreckers (if bucketsnbits ever gets around to replying to my email)

Here is where i need your help, is there anyone that has a good condition MC19 that i could take for a short test ride? i would like to test it 0-100km/h and climbing some kinda hill... i would just like to know how "down on power" or degraded my engine really is before i go and spend the money replacing it.
Will buy you a beer for your time

or if anyone has any other suggestions on why she may be feeling a little sluggish these days that would be great.

its recently just had a new oil/filter/fuel filter/air filter and got new plugs a few 1000 kms ago.

i consider myself "alright" with the tools so am willing to try things myself but dont really know much about things like balancing carbs or whatever (am a quick learner if someone is willing to show)

Thanks in advance

get a dyno run on it mate. and a compression test etc

if money was no object that would be nice, however im on a tight budget these days and last time i checked dyno runs were not cheep... if i was to do a dyno run i would want to do it on the new engine i think.

compression test might be an idea, any guess on what the local shop would charge me to do that?
