4th no more...

Dupo · 08-08-2006, 05:15 PM

Ever since i swapped the exhaust, shimmed the needle and adj the mixture screw on my gz250 i have sure noticed that i dont have to downshift into 4th very much lately. Ive been able to go over a mountain (literally, theres a ski area at the top) and maintain 5th gear averaging 45-50mph. Ive been able to run hilly back roads in the country and not have to drop it to 4th to get up them. Theres been very few circumstances that i have had to downshift...and im no little guy. I'm 5'9" 238lb.

All in all i must say, the modifications i have done so far have sure improved the power on my bike.
