Hey guys and girls how are you all? My name's Jason and I'm from Perth. I own a Jet Black 1992 CBR250RR with the full Tyga kit and chrome cbr/fireblade stickers with a nice sounding carbon fibre slip on. Its my first bike (of many I hope) and so it really is my first two wheeled love...
Yeah have a push race?... Haha Mine doesn't go... :-( But it makes up for it in enthusiasm going down hill though.
Let me clean the carbies first, it's been sitting for a while. And swap the muffler over to the Megacycles. Gotta get it in race trim!
Well just one day whilst I was on the ride home from work (literally I was just about home) it just started making a really loud noise and the all of the sudden it just gave up as I pulled into my driveway... Unfortunately I pulled the dipstick and it was laden with metal shavings and all... It was a sad day... A VERY SAD DAY INDEED!
My Mc22 gave up similarly. I had just left my house (probably 2kms away) and was rising through the RPM, almost at a gear change (around 9k RPM it was at) and then clunk clunk clunk and I immediately pulled off and it stalled and I knew it was toast. So I chucked it in neutral, hit the starter and after a little bit she fired right up, so running on 2 cylinders, I turned around, rode home parked it and then took the car. I had already thought about getting another engine prior to it blowing as a spare and knew the cost of fixing it outweighed getting another one (especially a failure of this type) so I wasn't too concerned about riding it home. It struggled to get up the hill to my house though!
I got another engine for $400. Waited for about a month. Just post up ads on various forums and Gumtree. I plugged the new engine in and it fired up right away, no problems. The kid I got the engine off had crashed ruined his forks, so he had bought a whole bike and was parting out the rest of it.
