buying first bike . zzr250

[ubermaan]

got the bike for 1850 with about 49ks . bike is running fine . rode for about 70km on the first day i picked it up . i thought was pretty cheap . the guy is leaving for the uk so the he had to get rid of it fast . there a few problems with the bike tho . its got no rwc . the igition box is fucked and fairings are pretty banged up . also it got a after market pipe which is louder then anything which all has to be fixed/changed to get rwc . my friend was travelling behind me and noticed white smokes coming out of the pips when the revs hit about 18k is that a big problem ?

i'll get some pic up soon . but im planning to fix it up abit . it looks a bit dirty atm . any tips on how to fix fairing ?

I wouldn't worry about the fairings (you'll probably bang them up too) or the pipe (just see what they say).

What's wrong with the ignition box? did it not start ok? does it misfire?

The white smoke doesn't sound good to me - but I'm no ubermechanic. Could have head-gasket problems(?)
Is the oil discoloured (check the oil window on the right)?

And what are you doing hitting 18k already?

well . just got back form the mechs . he said the pipe needs to be more quiet . the fairing is out-off-line or some shit . the igition box is too lose . it starts fine but you can just pull the key out whenever you want . he had a look at the oil and the filters . looks pretty good actually .
the bike just invites you to rev . it took a lil bit of confidence tho

See you on the road girlfriend !
