Making my ZZR faster

[mini_me]

OK but only $160?? Even my baby elephant of a bike manages that........... must of been a pretty strong head wind...... were you crouched right down??

Mini-me was easily hitting bout $180 yesterday on his ZXR 2fiddy........

i had it bouncing off the restrictor down peak road as we where heading north in the morning

yup I believe you ..........

Seeing you fly by like that was impressive..... especially on your 2fiddy unlike others on thier monsters......

It looked like there were a couple of rastafarians having a smoke down there......

And I was dropping around 5 tablespoons of oil every time I stopped for a red light.......

The stuff has pooled up under the engine on to the bottom of the fairing........

Quite a few drops all over my rear tyre too...... things a bloody mess

Take it to a shop mate you might have a poopd piston ring or maybe your valves clapped

:spudwhat:

Hope it works out ok though!


Mini_Me was that ZXR nz new I forgot to ask you yesterday - only the dyno mine cut at 195 so just wondering (mines a fresh jappa)

I hope not........ that sounds expensive

My dad was paranoid of me falling and destroying the fairings, so I took them all of, so it wasn't very aerodynamic. The wind was hitting the speedo and tacho, and my helmet was being pushed up and I was being strangled. I'll leave them on next time and get some nylon bungs to protect them (Manfield Winter Series )

Really? You must have some really nice fairings then.........

New pistons are great, the power boosts quite significantly

At least, that was the case with my KX

Not anymore, after that, I've fallen a number of times, and tried using model glue to fix them. Worked for the mirror support thingy, but not for the fairings.

Also, at the track day, I might've been able to go faster without the fairings if i wasn't for the stupid pace bike, everytime I got to 160, I had to pull back to 120

[mini_me]

dunno - you'd have to ask CK - it was his orignally (i think)

I THINK it was an import. Seem to remember seeing some red baron documentation on the owners form when I bought it from a dude in Whangaparoa. Its always been a rowdy little beggar and It was nice to see it still being thrashed yesterday and not letting us 600's have it all their own way

Sorry to hear about the ZZR choking on the lolly and loosing oil. Hope its not a major repair job.

i just got a 96 zzr 250, has been going great! i was wondering about how to make it go faster. but then i went for a ride today with about 30 guys n gals around the central north island and i could keep up pretty well. i would be riding with all these bigger bikes in the straights and then when the twistes came after about 5 mins i looked back and no one was there, so it can hold its own, but in saying that after the twisties all these bigger bikes wer crusing at about $140 and it was pretty hard to keep up. so yeah it was real good. ive started wondering about ajusting the rear susp. (not sure how to yet) and lil things like that. i should probly get it serviced too, its done 50k and seems to be right, but i wont be happy till i no wot sorta condition its in. seems to go alright tho. good luck with your bike tho, hope it doesnt cost too much!! (p.s does anyone know where i can get a cheap pair of second hand zzr250 pipes from, mine are a bit naft!)
