Sportbikes / Re: 2009 250GS

« on: October 09, 2008, 09:37:27 PM »

Got my 250 for $2000 and just picked up a SV650S for $4000, and what a world of difference... The 250 is great for putting around town, and getting great gas mileage, but damn is it slow and cheaply made... at "75" (spedo is nowhere near accurate) it is really unstable... Maybe they will lower the speed limits back down to 55, but for now, I can't leave my town on this bike without the possibility of the engine blowing up, or being run over from going too slow.

Mine has had trouble starting after it has been running for a while like when I go to lunch or something it will take a minute or two to start making me look kinds stupid as I sit there cranking every few seconds...

Since it is new , the clutch cable will stretch with use so you need to adjust it... I noticed my bike would be at the edge of the friction zone with the clutch fully pulled, and after adjusting the little nuts in the middle of the cable, it works a lot better, finding neutral is fine, and I have the engagement point right where I want it...

I bought mine used and didn't get a manual, I saw the online parts list but is there an online manual? I need to change my oil soon...
