    One potential issue, but I think a bigger project stopper is that the auction says the engine has already been sold

    Put a bigger flux capacitor on it, and some sugar in the petrol tank. It will make the bike go like it's on P.

    Slot in a 400cc motor in it if you really want, that would be easiest to get it to move. There was a 250cc Suzuki on Tm with a 400c impulse motor. That would fly!
    That was me!! if anyone wants to buy it it's still for sale, will take $2100 for it I need it gone lol

    On the topic of gsxr250s, ive had 2 (not including this 400 frankenstein), a few of my mates have them and I've done heaps of work on them.
    They are a bitch to tune, really fussy engines, shit all power and you need to rev the piss out of them to go anywhere. Although they do sound GREAT lol.
    The FZR400 is LAMS, sell your 250 and buy one of those. So much better. "there's no replacement for displacement!"

    Or buy my 250/400 engine swap http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=680940569 details here will put it in Bike Trader too

    Meth? You'll need to know your way around jets and needles, plug reading on meth is a different ball game.
    I like meth...
    The gixxer motors aren't any harder to tune that any other 250/4. But, they have do like to wear the needles/emulsion tubes, and cause all sorts of funny flatspots all over the place.

    They only make 45hp like my bandit, and I wouldn't bother modifying the wee Bandit to get moar powah.

    If you must have a "fast" GSXR250, then buy the one on here with the 400cc engine swap. If the job was done as well as advertised, you could have a fast learner bike.

    You cant even tell it isnt stock unless you know these bikes really well, everything is hidden behind the fairings. It even flies through warrents.

    Plus the 60hp in a 138kg bike is quite fun

    Shameless plug I know

    All good the Gxr with the 400 was an almost buy for me but for now will relax on my little Gixxer.

    But still the engine swap sounded good and didn't really get an answer.
