Hey all i am having some dramas athat i cant quite put my finger on. I have norrowed it down to a problem with the EXUP (power valve). Does anyone have any advice or things to try. I have replaced the valve but it seems as though it isnt closing all the way. Grrrrrr shouldve bought a mc22 lol. Any ideas are good ideas atm. Thanks len
Hey Len I have been asking Chris how your bike was going after stopping on the freeway. Reading your post, thought I would chat to my mechanic about your dilemma, but alas he is doing a course this week and hence not available, bugger. Congratulation on taking the moderator role on board, we feel very pleased with our choice. Mate, if I get any info re. power valve I will let you know. You are not the only one having problems with your bike, just ask Chris. Cheers Phil
thats really sucks chris at least mine definately isnt engine. it runs like (no swearing ) till about 10000rpm when the valve fully opens and the runs sweet. Weird. Hopefully ill get it sorted soon. I have a feeling its something to do with the cables. If anyones thinks of anything let me know Cheers guys Len
Hey Len Send an e-mail to Dave dave1@my-x15.net , he runs FZR250.com and http://www.my-x15.net/ , Tell him you were speaking to me from 2fiftycc.com, he may be able to help you with your query cheers Chris
after 6 hrs of pulling my bike apart today i found that all that was wrong was a tiny circlip had come loose from one of the needles in the carbies.....Really, a peice smaller than your pinky nail totally ruined my bike. Now, i fixed the clip however in the process ive messed with the mixture screws and it still run like (no swearing on the forum). At least it wasnt as bad as i originally thought. Still not happy with Mr Yamaha. He should take a leaf out of Mr Hondas book. Well thats my rant for the night...Moral of the story, if you're thinking about buying an FZR250, stop, Have a smoke, the proceed to buy cbr250. len
