Great idea with the blinkers!
I love your weight saving strategy, but I think it may affect the steering LOL! Nice looking bike, I am glad you are enjoying it. What is it's maximum comfortable cruising speed?

Great looking bike! I'd really like to get ahold of that motor.

she is holding up great!!
almost 6000k on her .. she is cruising down the city streets at around 50mph with around 5,000rpm.. and that leaves about 2,000rpm to drop the hammer and get out of the way of idiots that try to hit me daily.. she tops out at 70mph at 7200rpm no problems to report... |

I knew you were the man to prove the ZS250GS a reliable motorcycle.

I'm glad to see it myself. They got off to a bad start here with my bike and several others!

been hearing a slight clacking from the top end.
noticed a hot smell last couple of days so I decided to do more than just change the oil. got all setup with tools and such laid out.got my cool smurf nirttle gloves out .. stripped off the tank and checked valve lash.. the .06mm fit nicely and the 8 was a no go. perfect still. so I popped the filter cover off..... omg.. lucky she was still running.. it was covered in a black ..stuff is best way to explain it. with alot of metal.. one little area for oil to flow thru since I got her with a little over 1000 miles I can only assume this was first filter cleaning.. maf cleaner and it looked lile new... cleaned up the filter hole.. some fresh 10w40 and fired her up... wow not a peep ot of the top end... she never sounded this good.. later I will take her for a spin and see if she responds better since now she is getting the correct amount of oil!!! |

I am glad to see you got to the problem before total failure! We still need to figure out a ride for us Chinariders, although I am hesitant due to the lack of secondary roads from Yuma to the Phoenix area; trying to ride I 8 which is posted at 75 mph will be tough, but I have seen some side roads parallel to it, and have seen bicycle riders on the shoulder on the parts w/o side roads, so I am not completely ruling it out.
