TU 250 Volty trouble

[RuffStuff]

yeah i thought today id play in the traffic as i was in no rush and it shined, ive seen glimpses but obviously been trying to sort this fueling issue out
im made up, just a shame i have to use some fast roads around mine, if i end up working local or living at my girlfriends in town itll be laughing and im toying with an sv again for bigger duties

Whereabouts are you, near Liverpool? Just idle curiosity, but I've got my English road atlas on the bookshelf.

Formbingtonshire upon the sea, its shit, bypass in bypass out and a fast back road across the moss, not little bikes friendly til you get off those roads

I can only assume you're joking. No such place in my road atlas, & google's telling me to p**s off! :??:

formby, its shit so we gave it a gay name hahaha
as said 3 fast roads out, the back roads even faster than the bypass, spot on, on a 600 for some good fast fun, not so friendly to a little 250

Also back in the 70's they didn't have the emission standards for motorcycles they have now, so the motorcycle manufacturers could squeeze more out of the little 250 engines.


P.S. the extra 100 pounds probably wouldn't have anything to do with it :whistle:

ALSO back in the 70's, quite a few 250 bikes were 2-cycle....which makes up to 2X the HP of a 4 stroke. :cool:

yh ive had a good few 2t 250s and a few 4ts ones aswell, been heavier and still got 80 out of the 4ts
this is still weird, some days itll do 70 fine, then others it cant do 60 and if i draft a car i can get nearly 80 out of it.
im putting it down to being an old style really basic engine tbh now, fuelings as good as its going to get
