Hey guys, my mate rides a CBR600 and after having a go on my ('97
) ZZR250 suggested a single bubble windscreen for better acceleration.

Any body got any thoughts on this, or know where I can get one from. I've struggled looking online..

Thanks

Really would not make much difference cept for rider comfort, try http://handcraftfibreglass.com.au

Your mate's got no idea you'll never notice a difference unless your looking for an extra half a second at Phillip island. Better to save your money for fuel and tyres.

If your keen on increasing acceleration around the burbs look at changing your gearing, but having never owned a 250 I can't speak for the best way go about this or the effectiveness. anyone?

HTH

if you want more acceleration just drop a tooth off the front sprocket. but in doing that you will sit fairly high in the revs at 100kph...

Did you/he mean double-bubble?
Single bubble is what I'd consider a normal screen.

How tall are you? If the wind's whacking you in the chest then you'll get better comfort from a double-bubble, but apart from reducing the drag (caused by the wind hitting you) it won't make a difference to your acceleration.

Apart from Rob's link though I don't think you'll find anything for the 250. If you want to go faster - crouch down

Tony, here is one from HCF, the mould was made for TKA .... no double bubble but has the same height as a DB .... def not normal, as in size wise..... that might be what he means

Better acceleration for a '97 ZZR250????????????

Easy....Buy a bigger bike!

Go the mighty Harley-Davidson windshield

wow - learn something new every day!

just leave it alone, save your money for your next bike.

I'm 6ft, 94kg. I didn't think it would make much difference, hence me asking on here!!

As long as u can see the gauges i'd leave the smaller screen on, later 636's had the dash obscured right? The windblast off a small screen helps keep weight off your wrists. Id only get a bigger screen for a track/race bike if i couldnt tuck under the stock screen
