    I have tried this product. Honestly can compare the difference with regular pre mixed coolant. Down side is the price but I like the color of it.

    I do agree with them that is a common problem with that year model. But try to change your engine oil and observe if that doesn't solve the problem than no choice but to open up the cltuch assembly and gears. A pal of might did this but went for aftermarket parts instead of oem, worked great and no more shifting issue as he stated shifts better compared to stock.
  4. Great tip nayruf, but can you post some details how much will it cost to maintaen a duke annually just for comparison purpose.

    Yes you can I don'e see any problem on using automotive coolant in bikes as long as you drain completely the old coolant.
  6. When I had my thundercat before, I just upgraded its muffler and exhaust to a yoshimura full exhaust and upgrade the carb with a dyno jet stage 1 kit with knn individual system. Also added some sliders and matrix steering damper.

    If the carb assembly has some damage like chipped parts or broken parts best thing to do is to buy a new carb. If a carb repair kit doesn't solve the problem that you may be missing some thing. I can recommend a shop in your area but you can try to down load a systematic diagram on how to clean and re- assemble your carb.

    I agree the wheels looks great, what color did you use and color code ?
  9. Owning a Ducati could be pricely to maintian, parts can cost an arm and a led. Before buying it check the timing belt, shocks and suspensions service record if any and most of all for any accidental drops or repairs.

    Have you tried asking in your local stores or online shops that caters decals and sticker? By the way those decals looks really great.

    Have you tried inspecting your spark plugs? It may need some cleaning or replacement. Also it coulb a cause of bad fuel.

    Hello can you post a pic of that breather hose your are stating? It could be culprit. Another thing that I would suggest is to have the carb overhauled and make sure that all vavuum hose are connected and working.

    I do agree fzr 250 really revs high and quite a powerful bike that can compete with higher displacement bikes. But I think its to out dated and parts are getting harder to find. If I were in your shoe I would keep or sell the 07 CBR125R and get a better bike like above 400 or 600cc bikes, and get the fzr as a project bike.
