Re: My 2000 GZ250 Bobber Project

From the bobbers I've seen you need to:
1. Lose the front fender
2. Cut the back fender down to just behind the shock mounts (frame pieces also)





You've got a good start... carry on :rawk: :rawk:

Re: My 2000 GZ250 Bobber Project

quick question Im freaking out I was trying to just run my bike and forgot it running outside. For some reason the bike revved up high and Im not sure for how long but when i got to it the pipes were glowing red and it smelt like burnt oil. The chrome looking parts on the side are now brown but I see no oil just a burnt smell. PLease dont tell me I blew it up?!!

There was very little left. I ran to walmart and got more oil and put it back in and it seems to be running good. But Im not sure what I may have done.

Hard to say.Just ride it for a while & see what happens.It may start to smoke out the exhaust (burn oil) if you done internal damage.But you may have lucked out.These little beasts are tough.That's why you never walk away & leave a bike running.
:cool:
