Hi, Just got this tip from the person I'm buying my bike off. The bike was serviced by a person who races bikes professionally and told me to avoid problems, only use the choke on start up and no throttle. Once you touch the throttle problems start to occur. Just thought I'd share it, unless someone can tell me otherwise? Cheers
yeap. the guys at RB Imports told me the same thing... if youre gonna use any throttle at all, just the slightest momentary twist when you press the ignition. but generally you shouldnt need it simon
When cold, if i dont use the throttle for the first few seconds the engine dies choke or no choke. Looks like all bikes have different starting habits.
But you have to admit, out of all the bikes the Fizzer seems to have the most problems. This is my experience anyway, there seems to be more lemons than there are diamonds. Honestly, I'd much prefer the ZX2R over any other 250, it looks the nicest and performs quite well. It isn't over marketed etc either like the CBR. Either it's still a nice bike and I'm happy with it.
ive never actually had a problem with my bike *touch wood*... and im sure there would be a fair few zx2r's with problems... theyre pretty similar types of bikes arent they?? i really dont have anything to back that up simon
but don't forget that the 'newest' fzr250 is still 12 years old now. zx2r's and cbr's tend to be much newer than that, so one can expect a few problems with the older bikes. Sure some of the fzr's have never been ridden until recent times, but age will take it's toll on some of the parts etc. regardless of being used or not. I do think that the fzr is more 'fidly' than the others - but that could also be due to the fact that it is hard to find people who actually know what they are doing with them too.
