Convert your GZ250 into a 346cc!!! - Page 5

music man · 11-14-2008, 09:38 AM

He(Jordan) on top of everything else did not come in here whining about how much money or the bike that he lost on this supposed (obviously failed) experiment, which also tells you he didn't do it in the first place, because the first thing anybody else on this site would do if that happened to him/her is come on here and tell everyone, don't do it, I lost a 1,000 dollars on this failed miserable experiment....etc, etc.

Also Jordan "claims" to now ride a "Ducati" (ewwwww I am so impressed), that no one has EVER seen even so much as a glimpse of as far as I know, and hasn't been on here since except to chime in on some other subject once or twice, which further tells you that this NEVER happened, otherwise he would have responded to this mound of posts to the contrary.

I, like Jonathan have nothing else useful to add to this discussion, made obvious by my rant on the person who started it in the first place, and who Like Jonathan said, has done nothing for this site(of course maybe I haven't either, but at least everything I say is based in truth). All he has done is add fairy tales that he has fabricated in his own mind, just to try to impress all of us, when all we want to do is, is enjoy our little slices of heaven (the fun yet slow GZ) in peace, not in Pieces.

Also most people that have chimed in on this thread are not saying that it can't be done just that it doesn't make any financial or power gain sense to even try to do it, your gonna go that far to go 5-10 miles per hour faster(if that) and probably cut the life span of your engine by 1/2 (or More),and spend ALOT OF MONEY doing it, all this comes up to a grand total of $Doesn't Make Sense$.

Sheesh what's with all the negativity lately? It's been long established the cost to modify the engine would be expen$ive and likely rival the price of the bike (assuming you got it used). In other words, not worth it. The conversation had moved on or so I thought to what would it take to beef up the engine and what parts could possible be interchangeable from other engines. I started a new thread here so no body whines about this ancient still beating that dead horse topic.

This thread can now quietly shuffle off the mortal coil.....

I've come to realize that for a lot of folks, riding the bike is only part of the fun. They enjoy screwing around with it to make it:

1) Faster.
2) Flashier.
3) Louder.
4) Different.

It's not my thing, but then again I figure there's a large chunk of the population that doesn't see the point of riding a motorcycle (period), or skiing down the side of a mountain or chasing women that are out of one's league. I have found it a bit amusing to see that THIS particular mod has even the modders mad. I think mainly because the guy that started it was apparently a mod-poser and not the real deal -and that's just not cool.

I own a ATV made by Baja is the Baja extreme 300 with a Suzuki eng 300cc and is the same eng than the one on my GZ250 BUT A 300CC HEAD actually is 296cc they sale this ATV at Pep Boy but is discontinued I can interchange the parts from the 250 and the 300 I am getting a set of clutch disks from the 250 to use on the 300 they are the same :2tup:

Maybe. Sure looks like some parts would be interchangeable but I note that the engine displacement is different.....I think.... 236 vs. 248 ???

**jonathan180iq** · 11-17-2008, 09:46 AM

That website says it's 233cc. It's just a Chinese clone of the 250. They do that a lot and they're pretty good at it. I haven't had any problems on my Chinese scooter. The only cheap about them is the plastic. It's like they don't properly finish the job, or they use a very cheap plastic mix. I'll be the same would be true for this Chinaman-GZ250.

Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

:poked:

music man · 11-17-2008, 03:38 PM

How About Chinese Man, Or in this Case Chinese Made. I can't stand any of those terms like that, Asian-American, African-American, all that crap. If you are an American you are an American, no matter what race, color, or religion you are, no more no less.

But I will also agree that chinaman is not a very good thing to say. Also from now on I would like to be known as a Spanish-German-Catholic-Baptist-French-American-Metalhead :haha: :biggrin:.

**jonathan180iq** · 11-17-2008, 05:56 PM

You guys can call me "Cracker".

No offense to anyone of asian decent.

If we are all hyphenated then I am a Caucasian-American. As long as you don't go back too far on the family tree. :roll:
