My mate, Nelsman, used to own a GPx750R. On the highway, he has done an indicated 255 Km/h and was still a good 2, 000 RPM under redline.

You were that close from memory. I wish my memory was that good, both of your solid stats were inside tolerence . I'm a ZZR250 nut and I had to look it up.

Idle mix screws- screw all the way in and then out 2.5 turns

clean carbs by disassembling them, its not that hard, and its the best way to clean the jets, as clean as you possibly can using carby clean and blow parts clean/dry with compressed air

check/clean airfilter
check vacuum lines for leaks ...

Inlet 0.08~0.13mm
Exhaust 0.11~0.16mm

Don't spend it to soon, I did get a hold of dad, he's on the case, got to get you on a bucket, I'll keep you informed and notified of practice nights

You could have put me on the list Miss Cheeky

2001 ZZR250 She'll be photo worthy soon

It is fuel injected. You're not just bouncing off the rev limiter are you, just a theory.

Its crap oil but has a rude sounding name mate.

Cheers Brett

It is not crap, Kawasaki racing can't be wrong, in fact it's the best my ZZR has ever had in her, high performance and high protection. Silkolene Pro4 race 10w-40.

I used to scrape everything, side and centre stands, pegs and eventually my exhaust. I'm running with my pre-load on full, I've jacked up the rear by about 50mm(custom link arms) and I've taken off my centre stand ( I have a race stand for servicing). Only my knees scrape now.

I got an M2R flip top for $200 and haven't had a hassle since, it's awesome.

Gday Miss Colette, I think most riders find down harder than up, it's not just you. Suspension loading and braking dynamics are both higher when traveling down hill.

i've been quoted $300 fitted for some dunlop 501s

don't wanna flatten the middle as quick as i did with these tyres.


That's a good price for Dunlop GT501 Arrowmax , and they are a GREAT tyre. I ride to work everyday, and have found that a regular KSRC ride or trackday is more than enough to ...

DON'T CUT YOUR SEAT!!!!!! I now a guy that will comply it without cutting as it sounds like your seat is "part of the structure" as mine is. $100 is a bit more than at a bike shop, but he comes to you. Mine passed no worries, $200 rego and my seat profile retained.

My 2001 dyno'd by Tony Boggart's at 27hp@12000 with a custom exhaust(result of an acco, less dollars than factory) and not only read but dyno tuned(shimmed my main jet 1 shim, don't worry I don't know either) as opposed to 36hp@12500 claimed by Kwaka. The factory claims are almost always exagerated ...
