Question from the new guy...
Had a friend of mine take the bike out today and he said it seemed a lil sluggish at first. We really did not let the bike warm up and I told him prior owner said it was cold collared. He rode it another time and said it seem to have gotten better and may have needed to warm up.
I am going to take it to his Dad's shop and let him give it a go through. Does the 250 need to warm up for a bit before riding? |

Welcome!!
Quote:
1. Let it warm up. 2. Shimming (do a search on here) could help you out too. |
