Got it for $300. Needs carbs rebuilt due to fuel blokage. The bike is near new, black in colour and only 20,000km. Garaged since 1993. Another $500 and i'll...
Assuming that you'll be doing this yourself, I'd recommend you download the workshop manual from this site - then go and look for a GSX250F (Across) manual as...
Thankyou Carl, I downloaded the PDF's They were helpful! Do you know if the Across has alot in commen or just the carbs? Also where would I find this carb...
The Across has (what I believe to be) a later version of what's in the GS250FW, the manual won't help you with specifics (valve clearances etc), but it will...
Thanks, The carb cleaner worked so well it stripped the paint clean of the carbs!!! It took me almost 2 HRS to get the air filter box out??? Not sure how you...
Excellent :) Those air boxes are a PITA.. I found that I could pull the carbs out before the air box with quite a bit of force, but it is hard :) Someone ...
The GF250 (and presumably the GS250FW) has a 13000 redline.. Like many 4 cylinder 250s they operate best at higher revs, usually above 5000rpm. The gearing...
My bike reads 11,500rpm redline, but I read somewhere that they are 10% out which makes it 10,350rpm redline. I am not a speed demon and for that matter am...
Hi There, You'll find that the bike has more usable power (for a 250) above 5krpm, I'd be keeping it above that - just in case you need to accelerate away from...
Hi, not sure on you revs but my 250gf red lines at 13,000..and is good for putting about at around 6 to 8 thousand revs. It has a dead spot between 8 and 8,700...
Once again thankyou. I should imagine that I will have to rejet as the exhaust will not be standard anyway. Also I can only fit 2 filters not 4, and the K&N...
6-8000 rpm putting ? My car redlines at 6krpm ! So if I tried to ride my bike at 3krpm it would just stall? This must be why they aren't so good on fuel? What...
I used to own a GF250 previously. I can only say that I actually found that it would happily putt around town in 5th, though I found 4th in town a bit more...
Thanks for the advise, handy to know! SV650 that's exactly what i was thinking of.... For cutting in half! No seriously as a reverse Trike! I take it you own...
hi, i have being reading the manual about changing the oil filter. but i'm little confused with the mention of oil pressure valve and stuff. what's the big...
Hi Jeremy, I wrote a short procedure for oil change on a GF250 a long time ago. I have attached it, hopefully it is of some use. Regards, John Avis ... ...
Hi, This is embrassing.... but i have got another problem with my gf250. This morning when i went out to the city for a haircut, everytime when i attempt to a...
Jeremy, I guess it must be a break in one of the wires running to the handlebars or a bad connection at the ignition or kill switch. It may help to isolate the...
im breaking down an 82 gs250fw if anyones interested in parts ======================================== Message Received: Jun 27 2005, 12:56 PM From:...
Hey Guys I have as GS250 FWD in a go kart. I have finally got the valuve clearances set, thanks Carl now it revs. But it is a total pain in the but to start. ...
Hey Malcolm, Glad to hear that it's almost working :) There'd be a few things I'd look at: - Enrichment system - Ignition system (for that plug/coil) - Air jet...
Thanks Carl Pete was good he did the valve clearances very quikly. The other carbies on the other bike have 2 jammed up air jet screws. So no luke there. Spark...
Hey Malcolm, That's a good plug for Pete - If I get stuck on something I'll give him a call :) In the service manual it states resistances for the coil primary...
Hi Carl ah the Choke, yeah I've used plenty of that. I'll chance the leads and check the coils. I'll try and do that next week. I let you know how I go. Thanks...
