Re: Rear wheel swap
I agree but it also wouldn't be what I want.
WW, the new tire is a vintage tread setup which has no front or rear bias like modern tires. The change will likely put the handling of the bike...

Re: Rear wheel swap
The mirrors do not interfere with normal road driving. If I'm at walking speed around a parking lot or something, I move my knees out away from the tank and haven't had any issue. I like them a lot...

Re: Rear wheel swap
I got the front rim in sort of a preliminary lacing to the rear hub without much hassle at all last night. I used the front spokes without cutting them down and it appears that they are about 1/2...

Re: Rear wheel swap
I suspect I'll be cutting down the front spokes and rethreading them to suit. I'm not entirely certain though as the angle of the spokes from front to rear appear to be different.
I suspect the...

Rear wheel swap
Been a while since I've had something worth posting. I've had my bike a year and done some tinkering on it but the reason for the post is for the project I'm about to do.
This is the bike when I...

Re: Is a 150/90-15 rear tire too wide?
So I'm guessing that no one currently on the forum has attempted a 150 tire on their 250? I'm fairly certain that the tire pictured below is an Avon AM42 Venom in 150/90-15 since they do not make a...

Re: Is a 150/90-15 rear tire too wide?
No worries. I got this bike for looks and mileage, not performance. It is mostly flat around where I live and where there is a hill it is nothing like what can be found in north Georgia. Thank you...

Is a 150/90-15 rear tire too wide?
I found a few posts where someone said in passing that they had such a tire on their gz250 but a question was asked and there was no follow up in the thread. I thought I would bring attention to the...

Re: 2003 parting out.
Has anybody heard from this guy in the last week? We agreed on a price for some exhaust bits and I haven't heard any more from him. Was wondering if others had run into the same thing.

Re: someone blessed with a face like mine
While I concede that the saddest creature on earth is a Red Sox fan, I'd venture that a DMC enthusiast is just a hair's breadth away from even. That is all the warning you'll receive from me on the...

On the flip side, it used to be common-place to pour your old motor oil out on a dirt road to keep the dust down.

Re: Hello from SC
Seemed a better time waster than lurking is all. That and likely I'll come up with questions once I begin tinkering with the bike. Would be rude to just start asking point blank (grin).
