Well, Gordon did some good work on the carbs, and that's half the battle. I've just been keeping a minimum of fresh Sta-Bil'd gas in it and running it hard when I get the chance. Other than that I'm just listening for grenade sounds
I keep an eye out for 300s on ebay, and I have to wonder how that would change this machine. It has a plethora of weaknesses, but they balance each other out. I figure I have somewhere between 25-30hp and I'm using all of it now. If I go 300 with stock 250 carbs I guess that would put me about 35hp, which would certainly change the balance of the bike. Dunno if that would be for the better. Oh well, I'm not changing anything unless this 250 pukes its guts. Even then, it will be hard to not just sell it for parts and get an R3 or similar.
