    Anyway good on yeah.

    Did you check the tyre pressures?

    Also, how does one turn an engine over by hand?
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Press the starter button

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!

    Nice one mate
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    pressure are good, and you use a ratchet on the crankshaft bolt to turn it over by hand.

    but i find it easier to use the starter button myself

    Think ALL! (Not just some).

    Anyways, well done on the purchase. I didn't read all posts, but I take it you gave the battery a good charge?
    Don't muck around with a flat battery for too long on the CBR's, as they (well the bigger ones at least) will blow the Reg/ Rectifier if you do. I presume it is the same for the 250. Well, it isn't a good idea to charge any battery from flat using the vehicles charging system.

    Good plan.
    BTW, good to see you are getting rid of that "Tractor" on TM.
    The 250 will run on the smell of fuel compaired to that.

    yes, cant wait to find it too!

    need to take it in and get the carbs balanced soon as the revs are a bit here and there. havent really pushed it with the heat issue happenin.

    does sound nice when she starts to scream though

    alot faster than other 250 singles Ive ridden, this is the first multi cyl bike Ive tried , I like it!!
