Hairy Posted May 28, 2019 Share Carbs....there are 4 of them :-) Hopefully no-one has fiddled too much with them, otherwise he's in for a lot of fun.....agh please .... watched so many carb rebuilds on youtube that I am a pro now without even lifting a wrench, or was it a hammer and a chisel for working on carbs...........

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted May 28, 2019 Share Those smaller 4 pot 4 strokes are so sensitive on valve clearances.I remember my FZR400 needed clearances checked and adjusted so often or it wouldn't start, run cleanly, etc. Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrykm Posted May 28, 2019 Share I wonder why there is no SA Motorbike Festival at Kyalami this year? Months back, if not late last year, it was slated for 31 May to 2 June. I thought the last two were rather good. Promoter problems? Or has the market tanked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted May 29, 2019 Share What did that bad biy rev too? I remember riding a CBR250 and thought it was going to explode between my legs at one point. This was many years ago but I think it did 15-16k rpm.The little 250cc 4 pots are higher than that. I know the ZXR250RR does somewhere around 22k rpm.Must baffle a traffic cop when he hears a bike doing 300kph but the radar shows 79kph......

dirtypot Posted May 29, 2019 Share I know the ZXR250RR does somewhere around 22k rpm. One of those was what I had my first big motorbike crash on when I was in matric (Young and dumb.). A braking highside at flat out in top gear. Came over a little crest and there was an unexpected corner. That wasn't a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted June 5, 2019 Share Over the last few days I have seen far too many motorbikes with rear lights that are not working during the dark hours of the morning / evening and a couple without working head lights too. Managed to catch up to a bike recently and told the rider .... he had no idea. IF you see these guys, please try and let them know as their lives are in the balance here.
