Anyone know about zzr250's

Hey guys

Looking around and cant find much - any reason you couldnt dump a 2001 zzr250 motor into a 1994 zzr250?

there was no huge - life changing alterations to the engine was there?

Please help us

The only thing that changes on a ZZR250 from year to year is the colour.

The ZZR600 is the same...

Nope as Mick said, there the same. The gpx 250 is also the same..

But you should really look for a gpz500 or er500 motor to put in it.. Dunno if it fits but it's be a good conversion..

ok a mate of rons crashed a 2001 baby zzr

and salvage price is 500

nothing wrong with the engine - done 12 thousand clicks when mine has done almost 70 thousand clicks

We were just wondering if there was anything stopping us dumping it in

only one way to find out If it doesn't work at least you can make a cool go-kart.

If you can get the whole thing for $500 then it'd be a steal. Think of all the spare parts! Not the damaged ones, obviously...but all the other stuff that would have survived. It wouldn't matter if there were differences in carby's and stuff either, if you can get those with it.

i believe the 500 is for bike as is
nothings been taken of it or anything
complete bike - only a tad out of shape

Personally, if an ER5 was bent out of shape and offered to me for $500, it'd be hard to pass up, especially if the engine had lower k's. Carbies and electrical bits alone would add up to more than that. I'd take it

what he said!!!

what colour is it ? If you end up getting it there's a few bits I might be interested in throwing in some cash for. Just to make mine look a little tidier.
rear brake lever, rhs muffler, rhs mirror, rhs front indicator cover, that sorta stuff.
if you're gonna get it give me a call so I can tell you what bits I'm after and you can let me know the condition.

redbook lists the zzr as unchanged since 1994 when it got different carbs so I reckon you're in luck.

...you should really look for a gpz500 or er500 motor to put in it.. Dunno if it fits..

Not without either some serious lubricant or the involvement of a blowtorch. The EX500 motor could hardly be more different to the EX250; it's bigger in all directions.
