Fuel Filter on GPX250

Can anyone tell me if there is a fuel filter fitted on the GPX250 and where it is located. I had some bad fuel put into it last week (at least I think it was bad fuel as it started to splutter and choke a few kms after I put the fuel in), and I want to empty the tank and change the fuel filter to ...

GPX Fan Not Working

The radiator fan on my '91 GPX250 is not working. Normally it kicks in when the tempreture gauge is about 2/3 the way to red but I'm assuming the thermostat that sets this off is faulty and as a result, nothing happens. This causes real problems when I'm sitting in traffic and the tempreture gauge ...

A Honda in "Kwaka Green" maybe ?

Does this ruling mean that you'll soon be seeing a Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha or (dare I say it) even a Hyosung in the famous Kermit green synonomous with the K brand?

Getting a residential address is the easy part (got some relo's up there already so I'll just use theirs). Voting would be by postal vote so that's not a problem either.
Next time I get pulled over, I'll just rotate the liciences (so I'll have 24 points at my disposal).
Fortunately, I'm not quite ...

So as a NSW licience holder, if I get done doing 10Ks over while I'm on holidays in QLD, how many points do I get off my licience (and if the administration of liciences is a state responsibility, what's stopping me from getting a QLD licience on top of the NSW one I've already got).

I got done last month in the M5 tunnel in Sydney by the speed camera which I know is there so I always stick to the limit. I've been using that piece of road every week since it opened 4-5 years ago and this is the first time I've been busted (12k's over the limit). I can't explain how it happened ...

I might give that a try because acceleration is crap at the moment (get beaten off the lights by Hyundai's & Kia's) although I suspect it has more to do with the chain in it's current state than the sprocket size.
The price I was given at the bike shop was for the "standard kit". Do you know how ...

Thanks for all the posts.
The slack on the chain is a lot more than the recommeded limits so I decided to take it to the bike shop today to get a professional opinion. The verdict, I'll need a new chain & sprockets on the bike as these are parts that need to be changed every 25-30,000kms (or so I'm ...

Chain Tension on GPX250

I know this topic has been discussed before but I can't find the tread so here goes again.
My GPX250's chain touches the centre stand when stationery. I'm guessing that this means that the tension on the chain is too loose (although there's no obvious scrape marks on the centre stand at the moment ...

Hyosung GTR 250 vs Kawasaki GPX250

Does anyone know anything about the Hyosung GTR250,s and GTR650's.
I've only heard about them in the past 6 months or so and am interested to know about their performance, reliability and resale value.
I saw one close up a few weeks ago and it looked impressive. From the information I've seen posted ...

I agree with tyre kicker.
I went to Close a few weeks ago to check out their range of second hand bikes and to ask them about their new new bikes (which are only Hysong GTR 650's & 250's).
The guy wasn't doing much behind the desk and only talked to me after it became obvious I was not going to ...
