I bought a Zongshen 250 for overseas excursions. It's a cracker of a bike.

After many ebay seals, I now sought to find original kwaka ones where possible.

I still can buy seals for 1982 bike (gpz750r1) so there should be plenty.

The faithful awaits of reawakening as soon as zuck goes bankrupt with his virtual goggle thing. Apparently in the future you don't really need to ride a bike just put on goggles and meet your mates there to go to the hills. maybe with $100 subscription

Yes the real first big drama with any bike I owned. The good news is I'm a gasket away from riding it again

Quick update

Met Mal at reefton few weeks ago unexpectedly at reefton. Then rode back and had a blast. Lunch at marysville

An overnighter to port campbell last week with few kawasaki diehards who now ride bmw's

Msg marty aka strika as hes gone quiet. All well just quit facebook and moved further ...

Try riding with fuel cap off (to rule out blocked vent)

Like !

Make sure you buy the plugs from reputable store too, not ebay.

I bought 4 iridium plugs and from visual inspection I knew they were fakes. Threw them away.

You need to remember that.... The further on the edge, The hotter the intensity :D

There were times when a mere presence of ksrc sticker had me walked out of dealers with free stuff!!

I wonder how the present owner of my old KLR600 is going. That tank got Kreem about 27 Years ago.

I poured 1-2 L of acetone (!) to get rid of mine and it melts the thing but still was really messy.

But I sort of wished I did not line it using POR as well as the metal looked good already after ...

While the tank is off I figured I might as well clean the right hand switchblock.
Such is life with an old bike, it is easy to be consumed by the "might-as-wells".
I just wanted to check the condition of the contacts and renew the dirty old grease. It came up nice.

I used POR15 kit (just search ebay about $100) which is a 3-step process to line the tank:
1) detergent
2) acid
3) lining

It had worked well the past 2 years but after some more reading there is a debate whether to line or simply remove rust using typical acid (posporic, etc) plenty from bunnings ...
