    Hi, Recently picked up a 93 ZXR 250 to take to the track to make me work harder (and faster) on my cornering. I felt I was becoming a bit too reliant on my 750's power, and charging corners too much.
    Bike has got some minor upgrades in the way of bigger jets, yoshi pipe and uni filter, goes a lot harder than I expected, very impressed. Last 250 I had was a 94 gpx when I was on my L's.
    Anyway look forward to having a look around here and finding out some more tricks to get the most out of the bike on the track. Cheers.

    What size main jets are in it? ... and is it a uni filter in the stock airbox?

    zxr.jpg Thanks for the replies. Looking forward to hitting the track.
    Just got a slight electrical issue to sort out and I am good to go.
    Uni filter is in the original air box,with the bottom trimmed off a little bit.
    Not 100% on the jets. They were there when I got it.

    Haven't seen any one 'hang' bikes for a long time. I used to do that with my dirt bikes back in the dark ages.

    The table actually belongs to a mate who assists (read:fixes my mistakes) my limited mechanical skills.
    I think he got it from someone for a carton of beer.
    It is pretty handy, and at a good height for us over 40's!!
