Ok went out again yesterday after tapeing side stand up and went good how ever it wasnt raining. today took it out and its raining, no problems so im sure that was the problem atm. So looked at the other bikes stand switch and looks in much the same condition plastic opening where wire goes in ...

Ok after closer inspectoin the inside of the side stand switch is full of deteariated silicon should that be in there from new or has someone tried to repair this problem with silicone? Also while i was doing that the sun came out and i could hear the lid breather working fine with excaping fumes ...

Ok i went out raining and only did about 2-3ks and it started doing it i think it the stand switch fouling in the rain and until it gets that conecting drop out it strugles to knkw what to do. Im going to tape the hole switch, when its dry and see if this makes a difference on the next raining day ...

Could i have a exposed wire thats arking out and making the bike struggle to run in the wet? Please help only transport and need to ride in all conditions

I think it sounds electrical, for it only happens in 3rd and not in the same rev range in other gears. Does your side standwork correctly, could it be the stand switch and neutral sencer getting confused in 3rd?

It went good yesterday

Ok after lots of looking the hose spout on the bottom back of thank is just the drain hole for the fuel cap drain. Apparently the fuel tank breather is actually in the cap of the zzr so im off to pull it apart and make sure its all clean and open to breath. Other wise took it out yesterday it was a ...

Hi thanks for that but i think that the hose you a talking about only is a drain for the drain hole around the fuel cap and if i blow air through there it will just come out at the dain hole, is there i breather vent between these two points?

Yeah cool thanks for that,
You wouldnt happen to know the best way for me to clear or check the breather for the tank, as i see that the only hose or opening other then the key hole is just the water drain or fuel spill around the cap and cant see what it does between the drain hole and the hose ...

I dont even know if im posting in the right place

Its a 1990 if that matters but think there all the same arnt they?

As for the tank breather i dont know how to get to it they seem to run through the tank? Any help appreciated

Getting back to the clutch basket making the knocking noise i put that down to the bike not being warmed up properly when first putting it in gear, as ive found that this bike really clunks into first the very first time putting it in to gear ive even had it lunge forward and stall i adjusted the ...

I think your on the money with that there is a from what i can gather a join between the breather and in the fuel lid water drain and maybe as water drains through it would make it hard to breath i really think another ride on a good day and then a rainy day will tell i geuss,

Oh good call! i didnt think of that but have heard of that before im off to check out a diegram if i can find one of the vent hole on the tank of the zzr250 thanks
