My New Daelim VJF 250

Hye Gw

Welcome to the forum, thats a cracking looking bike, I have seen a few in the flesh, but not a red one, it POPS !! We have a few other Daelim owners on here, and I tracked down a company called Screaming Demon who makes aftermarket exhausts for it.

I see you test rode the CBR250R, did you considor any other makes before choosing the Daelim ?

Cheers

Chris

 

Hey GW

Good call on the exhaust, I was reading the catch cry from Screaming Demons and its says "Loud pipes saves lives" , might have to change that to "Loud pipes saves lives and upset neighbours" , I will ask Screaming Demon to post a sound clip.

Im a big fan of the RZ's, if they come up for sale here, they get snapped up pretty quickly and for damm good money to.

Take it easy

Chris

 

Opps,  I misread, I thought you meant a RZ250...  :BangHead:

 

I'm just paying mine off and was wondering how you're going with yours, now you're a few km in?

 

hmmm, I'm running 95 and getting 28.5 km/L... perhaps I better switch up one

 

I have NO idea how to change the clock, I had a panic on my 3rd day when I went to reset the trip meter by mashing the buttons and managed to set it to mph instead of kph (hold down the ROCS/RCS ?whatever key to do that btw), have not found a clock adjustment, but mine's the right time acording to my phone so... *shrug*
Tail light likewise works fine.

Biggest issue is my neutral light sems to be based on shifter position not gear position, so every so often the light will be off when it's actually out of gear, but I can generally feel the difference anyways.

The bike DOES seem more sensitive to my inherint 'lazy left', I've shifted into neutral instead of 2nd a few times, but I do blame myself for that - it's teaching me to kick it to go faster!

 

I just bought one for when I come over from Bali to Perth. It's has the Screamin Demon Exhaust but is not as quick as my modified Megelli in Bali.


Are there any performance upgrades besides the exhaust?


Thanks
Jason

 

No the Megelli 250 is a single, but with upgrades it really flies :Thumbs_up:

 

Hey guys,


Brand new rider and new member to the forum. I have recently purchased a 2011 Fi VJF250r as well and am loving having my own bike! It looks great and feels good on the road. Obviously I don't have a hell of a lot of experience with bikes yet but this one certainly feels like a good start, and I got it for a steal as well.


Since there seem to be a few people that own this one I though I would get involved and share some experiences and hopefully get some advice.


Firstly, the CLOCK is very easy to adjust. Just hold down the top button (mode I think) until the clock begins to flash, press the other button (reset I think) to adjust the hour, then click mode to skip to minutes and use reset to adjust that. Once that is done, hold down mode until the clock stops flashing.


Only negative I am having so far is starting the bike after it has not been ridden for more than a few hours (mainly in the morning and then sometimes again after work). Obviously, there is no choke so if it doesn't start first time, I open the throttle 1/8 or 1/4 and hit the ignition. Usually, after about 5-10 goes it starts and then has no problem.


I have read this could be a faulty ECU (?) which can be replaced under warranty. So my next question is if I go to mu local mechanic, apart from paying for the service, will they charge me to replace parts or can it be done under warranty (or do I have to get it done at the place of purchase to be eligible for repair under warranty?)


Many thanks guys

 

Hey arbibie
Good to hear your loving your VJF250  :Thumbs_up: , if your having starting problems then I would take it to an authorised Daelim dealer as they will be able to diagnose the fault and replace (if necessary) any parts . I checked the Daelim site, here are their authorised dealers. I doubt Daelim will deal with your local mechanic if he isn't on their list of approved dealers \ service centres, plus you will have to pay for his time, where as a warranty repair will be covered by an authorised dealer if the bike is under warranty
thanks
