ZXR250 Kawasaki

The on going saga of the ZXR250
This morning I checked tire pressures before getting the bike back to Chris.
Tire pressure were on the money but I discovered movement in the rear wheel.
Off with the back wheel and knock out 2 bearings, install 2 new ones and she is ready to go, It's like this bike wants the last word, always. Took the bike for a spin, running very nicely, dare I say it      JOB DONE!!!!!

P.S.  Bring on the NSR250, at least it has no valves to worry about, or so I hope.

 

Hey Phil
You could be on the money, I do think she's OK  now and all being well perform well for Chris. If anything else goes wrong I'm changing my number.

Last Friday, late afternoon I headed down to Brisbane on the ZXR250. The distance was around 120km from my place on the Sunshine Coast.
Funny thing with another persons bike, you just aren't familiar with sounds they are making.
The temp was fine, got her up to 110 on the highway and she seemed fine. In the back of my mind I was thinking about what may go wrong and continued to check exit numbers on the Bruce highway, just in case.
Reached the outskirts of Brisbane, bike was performing well so I just kept going. First set of lights was reached where I had to stop, engine pured at idle and I sensed I would reach Chris's place, no problem.
The following morning replaced clutch cover gasket that Chris had sourced and that was the end of my short lived venture with the Kawasaki.
She seems to be running well, glad it's over.
