gn250 Hell NO/CBD anger.

i had two ginnys when i started. my first was an old 86 that had a couple of small problems that could have been sorted by a mechanic. glad i didnt bother, cos she ended up getting destroyed by a car. she still started first pop afterwards, which is more than you could say for many bikes.
after than, i got an 06, which had a barrage of issues, despite being kept under cover and looked after well. however, that bike did get my 100kg + arse to paeroa and back with no troubles except that the speedo died.

if my current bike was off the road for any reason and i was offered a ginny, i would take it and be grateful that i didnt have to walk or take the bus

as a learner bike, the ginny is perfectly suitable. nice n cheap to run and buy, and not much that can be damaged in a low speed drop, unlike faired bikes. hell, even after my old one got hit by a car, it was still able to be repaired... all it needed was new mirror, bars, tank and shocks. the rest would have been able to be made good as new easily enough.

Too true, remember those hotties earnestly studying very well, completely unaware of the depraved thoughts that were running through my filthy, sex-deprived mind at the time...

Mind you, had to move from the engineering library to where the real talent was (law library, main library) ever seen the average engineering student chick...? (This is NOT one)...

erm, WTF! When you say 'fell into the trap' and then quote my clunking noise issue you really should have bothered to read the actual thread. The problem was that my chain was loose and knocking against the centrestand. It was about a noob learning about the basic maint needed for any bike ...

If you keep on talking out of your arse you're going to need a really long toothbrush pretty soon

So is his problemless zeal fixed?

**Tank** · 19th November 2009, 10:33

No idea - I have been away for some time. (Note to self - next time dont get caught)

Are they the same problems on the problem less Zeal that he had back in April - or are they a whole new bunch of problems?

Its not the battery but something next to it ( i forgot what its called

) It is a inline4 if people are wondering (dont know if this common)

This is another problem - when i shoot it up into powerband which is about 10rpm and there is 16 on the rev count. It kind of bogs along, holding back from what it is capable of, carbs maybe need re jetting for that? considering it bogs down as if it hasnt got any fuel left in the tank.

so i have determined its electrical but could anyone please help me make a diagnosis of the problem here, so i can get it fixed/replaced. Help will be much appreciated thnx. Even just a few bits of help, really need to get it fixed.

Makes the old GN250 look like a reliable alternative.

Probably a slipping clutch...

Or fouled plugs, once again, his mum would've taken him to the shop.
Dean there's 4 of them, incase you were to try yourself.

Are you sure? I thought from memory that they are a single cylinder?

**BASS-TREBLE** · 19th November 2009, 12:02

It depends. From 2005 onwards the Zeal went from 4 cylinders to 1.
It helps with the emissions I think.
Also more low down torque, following the footsteps of Suzuki with it's GN series.
