Joseph, when u say got? U mean have in possession, or will soon have in possession?

Vampyre · July 7th, 2011, 07:19 PM

I mean. I said I mean. Here they are in my garage.

Vampyre · July 7th, 2011, 07:20 PM

I just need to get the correct pin and spools. Well I don't really need spools, because the rear also work as swing arm stands.

matha028 · July 7th, 2011, 07:23 PM

Where do y'all find these deals at?

Vampyre · July 7th, 2011, 07:35 PM

On a pc all day. On a pc at night while the missus has the tv. Craigslist on infinite refresh. Just caught a break.

yea but the only people you know who have experience;

shimming needles
removing snorkel
re-jetting
removing the air box
installing air filter pods
installing full exhaust

happen to reside in Tampa, so I think that's 6 to 0

Vampyre · July 7th, 2011, 08:23 PM

Having experience vs and exemplary record of being able to do anything mechanical with instructions. If I can replace a timing belt, camshaft tensioner, waterpump, and get it all back together, then I think with all the DIY's here, my handiness trumps your doing it once....lol. Actually I don't know, But I can't get the bike and stands to Tampa at the same time.

Vampyre · July 7th, 2011, 08:26 PM

Plus I have a hot tub, fiance that makes lumpia (Filipino eggroles), and a garage with plenty of space and tools. Now whether I could get her to make some..... that is a different story.

Vampyre · July 7th, 2011, 08:26 PM

And the hot tub doesn't work atm.

caps · July 7th, 2011, 08:31 PM

i like how you keep shooting yourself in the foot with every post

lonewolf05 · July 8th, 2011, 04:12 AM

Lol ridiculousness and its cool tech days in Orlando on your bikes. Bike stands aren't really needed either to do any work to the bike UNLESS changing tires then they are needed. For the tech days Joseph or Adam are you guys considering shimming and that good stuff?

Once I get some washers. I plan to shim needles, replace airbox with pod filters, remove kleen air system, and move my rear brake reservoir. Should be ordering clip-ons next Friday if the money pans out.

matha028 · July 8th, 2011, 09:29 AM

Joseph you going tomorrow?
What about you sondo?

Vampyre · July 8th, 2011, 09:30 AM

Possibly, but I am going out tonight. So I might be too hungover.

Hung over meetups again? We should change the name to Drunk Central Florida Scooter Squad

matha028 · July 8th, 2011, 11:13 AM

LoL well if you dont make it by 9 maybe you can meet up with us at some point.

Vampyre · July 8th, 2011, 11:16 AM

Yeah I am going to try and get out to ride no matter what. I think the missus is going to be working on her portfolio tomorrow.

especially since I have a giftcard for like $20 to cycle gear...

caps · July 8th, 2011, 11:22 AM

its a magnet in a box with a zip tie... for $15.

if that money is burning a hole in your pocket go get a 15t front sprocket.

matha028 · July 8th, 2011, 11:23 AM

A what? What will that do for me?
Will it get the lights to recognize me?

Vampyre · July 8th, 2011, 11:43 AM

I just line up over the lines in the concrete. I haven't had a problem with it yet.

Vampyre · July 8th, 2011, 11:45 AM

You could donate that card to me so I can get my front stand pin.

caps · July 8th, 2011, 11:57 AM

A front sprocket will make your bike act like it has a 7th gear, it will lower your rpms about 500 across the entire range. Also better gas mileage

lonewolf05 has one, maybe he will chime in how he likes his

Its sold as an emissions block off plate, but it covers one of the two holes left by removing the KLEEN system

lonewolf05 · July 8th, 2011, 03:56 PM

Yea its for plugging up a hole from the kleen system you can create your own plug but I want the cleaner look and solid peice to cover the hole

Reddoak · July 8th, 2011, 06:28 PM

A 15 tooth front sprocket is your friend... It's the legendary 7th gear mod. I had the front swapped with a 15 tooth, and IIRC a 41 tooth on the rear. Dropped RPMs by about 1000 at 65 MPH.

I actually submitted all the info to Gearingcommander.com for the 250r back in the day. I had to send pics of my owners manual so he could verify the info... Overboard, but they check their facts, nice!

And on another note... Anyone need a jet kit for a new gen?

Vampyre · July 8th, 2011, 06:39 PM

What sort of jet kit. Might be attempting to remove my airbox which would require this.

caps · July 8th, 2011, 06:46 PM

i cant believe you still have that kit..

lonewolf05 · July 8th, 2011, 06:50 PM

I can't believe it either!

LOL... see here son, you're too late with that bid!

Half price for local guys, $40.00

Normal price if you ride a red 250... And your name is Mat... And I know you.... I mean you, Caps. For you it's eleventy-billion! But you get free shipping at that price. As long as you come pick it up.
