    Oh, and let me know when you grow up too
    Who said anything about twisties? More like traffic lights after traffic lights.

    Oh, and maybe next week, but then again, I have to much fun with people, so probably never.

    Even on a 250, going by your 'riding style', I would be going 70 before I changed into 2nd gear... That's 20kph over the speed limit already... Maybe your bike has got something wrong with it if you can somehow almost red line before all your changes round town? Unless you're one of those 'temporary citizens'.

    Nah the set off lights I'm thinking of is in an 80k zone.

    Also, you don't have to redline to go full throttle.

    Oh ok, sorry I just thought that you said that for some crazy reason

    80k zone, sweet so you'll get in one gear change. Yep, you can sure ride a 250 properly

    Lol, sorry I don't see how. You clearly stated that you ride with fully open throttle and near redline then change up... Oh, unless the red line is just you having your period?

    Heh, GT250 a little different from CBR250RR. GT250 more like my 250RS -- 26, 27hp, ~10,000rpm redline. So not much more than half horsepower of your bike, half the redline. 90% of the time at full throttle is certainly horseshit, but I spend a lot of my time with the throttle at 75-100%. 50kph means 3rd gear at least for me, GT250 guys would be similar (and don't they have 6 gears?).

    Don't pick holes in the guy, he's a testosterone infused boy racer refugee, too much of an easy target But once you get below the bluster and bullshit, what he's saying is mostly correct.


    Anyway, that's not what the thread is about. Cheap Hyosung mods! We all agree to spend $14 on jets and 60 seconds extra time installing them then?

    gee another thread in tatters because of trolling. Take a hint - if you just HAVE TO reply because it pisses you off, do it in their red rep, rather than in the thread. That way, YOU wont be contribute to said destruction AND they get the red rep - not you.

    Don't feed the trolls !

    All good, well in terms of 250 mods in a kinda side not but on topic kinda way... I've drilled some holes just in the end on my can, between the baffle hole and the outer shell, and it sounds 100x better by just doing that! Takes 10mins and doesn't require any re-tuning of the bike.

    Good post up of mods, makes it nice and easy for all those with a GT250r or any other bike for that matter to see what cheaper mods are out there!

    performance mod's, well I was thinking bigger carb's from japan but soooo expensive for a gain of only 5-7hp

    Something, not sure what, just set my "assumption detector" off.

    Regarding the re-tuning? Well your detector must be faulty, because I did my research and talked to people who know what they're doing, including someone who's drilled holes and even removed the rear baffle and dyno'd his bike before and after with no difference in results.

    is the air/fuel ratio still the same as stock ? Is the EGT still the same front and rear ?

    I doubt that 20yr old bikes' ratios are still the same as when they came out of the factory anyway... Who knows what exact difference it's made in terms of performance but if it's done anything at all it is so minimal that it's unnoticable. I know for a fact though that it seems to idle smoother now so there's a pro for ya.
