Hey guys my name is Steven I bougt a Kawasaki zzr250 about a month ago and I had to completely strip the bike to it's bare frame because the piston in the motor was hitting the head (this is my first bike plus I have Noe idea wat I was doing I'm jst a apprentice spray painter) anyways because of that problem I needed to get the motor out and a new motor to be put in everything has been beautiful so far but I'm pretty stumped on the eletrical side also wat kind of oil do I put for the motor and the gearbox , wat tyres do I put on the bike ...

Re: Completely gutted
Well .... as you have it back to bare frame (and you're an apprentice spray painter) I'd be prepping the frame for a re-spray. Did you have a particular colour in mind ?
I've spent over 40 years of my life riding bikes .... the rest of it, I wasted ..

Re: Completely gutted
Welcome aboard!
Why abouts are you located? There may be someone nearby who would be willing to help out.
A workshop manual is very handy for doing electrics - following the wiring diagrams.
fiche.ronayers.com is a great site for looking at how the parts go together and getting part numbers as well.
Good luck - looking forward to seeing pics on completion
