    Afternoon everyone (well, it's the afternoon here in sunny Manchester, UK)
    Came across the site whilst looking for a workshop manual for my Honda CB250F Hornet.
    Stripped her down to balance the carbs about 3 years ago...then bought a CBR600RR and never got around to sorting her out.
    The 600 has gone now, so I'm cracking on with the 250. Hooked up the Carbtune on Sunday to find that the balancing was pretty much spot on and I needn't have taken her to pieces in the first place :headbang::lolsign: 01454e2fb517cfbcd60332955e2b8ce15740ed2d1b.jpg
    Cheers
    Chris

    I love the 250 Hornet, it's the 3rd one I've owned, had this once since 2012.
    I built a curvy SV650 from parts and swapped it for this with a guy that needed a bigger engine and more power for motorway use.
    It's the most 'fun' bike I've ever owned. You can basically pin the throttle everywhere and it will never overwhelm the rear tyre :)
    Here's a 5 second video of me on the bike
