Nope LOL, I took it out to have a look and give it a clean without undoing the Phillips screw due to it being stripped and tried to put it back on obviously wrong. I hope I haven't ruined anything else.
Have a read here about the CCT http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?threads/shauns-zxr250-a-model-build-thread.1310/page-2 Did u hit it with a hammer ?? Seriously though u cant go too hard on these old bikes , especially with castings and alloy... u should be using a tension/torque wrench with the more "vital" parts ...and if your not sure how to do something .....read the manual, google it, or ask here .........or all of them The screw is stripped because its not a philips , its a JIS http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?threads/dimples.1068/
Broken bits go hand-in-hand with older bikes I've learnt but fortunately Kiffsta had a spare one for ya mate I recently found out the screws on ZXR's are not actually normal Phillips head, instead they are JIS(as stated by Greyimport above) and require the JIS(Japanese industrial standard) screwdriver to prevent stripping screws. Definitely a must have for the tool collection
And this is about the best deal Ive found on JIS .... pity the Oz dollar has dipped lately but I went around the higher end tool places in town the other day and got looks of WTF from everyone ..... 1 older "Mr Expert" even questioned what I was asking for and walked off cuz he was pissed he didnt have a clue 2 young guys at Blackwoods jumped on google and sat there scratching their heads....but were happy to learn something new http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Vessel-...347?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item589d07121b 53.77 USD = 58.5565 AUD
I've been told by a reliable source that cam chain tensioners from the GpX250 and ZZR250 engines will also fit the ZXR. I haven't double checked this but, as you can see from the photo, they look very much the same. I wouldn't be surprised if the newer 250 Ninja had the same tensioner set-up.
I have heard that too, but am yet to validate it.. hang on, I have one in the garage... will check tomorrow
I would hazard a guess that they are one of the same. Why change, wether it be a twin or 4 cylinders the unit need not change, performing exactly the same task.
Grey, good find on the screwdrivers. Have you seen any (no luck myself) of the removable tips to fit into driver handles, really need a number 3 type for my impact driver.
Vessel are a Japanese company and this is the North American distributor ..... you can buy directly from them but their shipping rates are a shocker .... http://www.vesseltools.com/hand-tools/screwdrivers/impact/view-all-products.html And these are a ridiculous price also....... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vessel-M...t=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item460fdc1bda Here we go .... http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Vessel-...833?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item589eecdb61
