i think these are restricted via the CDI, though i am not 100% sure. I think you will need to source a UK/european CDI and do a swap. ebay.co.uk, ebay.de etc. not cheap tho if it dont work

so its for sale in the republic and you are in NI? I guess its a few quid for it, but if it is tidy, then it made be worth a look if you want a usable modern classic. id be looking for something with a reasonable SH and the valve job done (20,000km). btw Art cans are rubbish, so id haggle on a replacement for that.

CO2 sensor? do you mean o2/oxygen sensor? This tends to control steady state throttle fuelling under light load and therefore is not an issue at idle (efi bikes tend not to use the O2 sensor at idle or full throttle) so as ^, it needs a tweak on the dyno, maybe powercommander.

^ if you dont put new scraper rings in, the piston will 'judder' during its reciprocations. I would think the other rings would wear much quicker. Why not replace all the rings while you are in there and give it a light hone.

i thought it was a bit crappy tbh, i was bored as soon as i got there!

you'll need to remove the tank, the airbox and then ^, its a bit of work to get to them, you will also need the yamaha plug spanner as not much else will fit in the access holes. Being 20 valve etc the plugs are deeply recessed.

ill be along at some point to look at the dolly-birds

did you mention on another thread you are 17? if yes you might wanna read: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...15101154AAYusYn

its not that complex, its a moving plate that varies the back pressure in the header pipes. its located in the collector box at the low point of the exhaust system. It is operated by a servo next to the carbs, which moves two cables which open and close the valve. EXUPs can sieze and they need a little TLC to keep them working well.

all the best/ if all that stuff happened to me, i think id pack riding bikes in!!!!!!!!!!!!

welcome to the forum, its a great place to be xs250 huh? i dont know all that much about them, all i will say is you don't sound like a noob! i would have thought the VIN number would be on the off-side of the head-stock, but i guess you have looked there. maybe when it was painted it was taken off and not put back on.

my main concern would be people selling them who don't have any patience and expect an instantaneous response. seriously, how much do you know about bikes in general? if you are less experinced, take someone along who knwos their stuff. If you do know your stuff, take someone anyway, to help ease any clouded judgement. With any performance yamaha, id check it does nt smoke.

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following employee statistics: 29 have been accused of spouse abuse 7 have been arrested for fraud 9 have been accused of writing bad cheques 17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses 3 have done time for assault 71 cannot get a credit card 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges 8 have been arrested for shop-lifting 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits 84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year Which organisation is this? It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us inline. What a bunch of to**er's we have running our country - it says it all. And just to top all that they probably have the best 'corporate' pension scheme in the country.

i would be surprised if you had holed the exhaust caning it, maybe the exup has gone out adjustment (it has a large effect on the exhaust tone) or the joints have a leak.

Ride out to the ace-cafe in brent. Meeeting at 10.00am at the Salutation Inn Castle Coombe, leaving at 10.30am sharp. This is a wilthire-biker ride-out. I will prob be going as will several of those guys.

i dont think most bike insurers really care about car NCB, unfortunately. They ask if you have it just so they can put you on their marketing list for their car insurance products.

is this a bike meet on the plain?

what a twat.

dotted around the Uk are lots of small companies that repair bike fairings etc, usually much cheaper than any other way. google it for you region or check your yellow pages.

thats bad news, i went for a ride out last week and a guy high-sided his bike pulling away from a junction. At least youll just get a settlement from the insurance company and that should be quite quick. Are you gonna get another fazer?

thats a very good price, considering your age.

dunno if it interests any of you, yesterday i got an oxford boss alarm from george white's in swindon for £29.99. Shop soiled box, but other than that half of the normal price even on ebay. Nice 14mm shackle and a decent alarm, which isnt going to flatten my bike battery. looks nice and beefy used with my kryptonite chain.

ruddy hell thats quick! stealthy, did you get insurance on your R6? how much was it in the end?

knackered spark plug?

more great pics pls!!!!
