These things suffer from bad clutch springs pretty often. Mine with a free flowing muffler would always slip the clutch. Pulled it apart to find the clutch plates were like new but the springs had sagged over time . Upgraded it to some heavy duty ones and wow what a difference
You are so right about the "0 Roll Out". I've said before that I was stunned to see that the car companies as well as the Journalists both used a "Roll out" type of estimation on their 0 to 60 runs that was basically just LYING. LOL. And still do! What's new from Journalists though right? But this little bike rocks!
Mate this is 100% my old bike. A few details match up exactly to my old pics. I bought it in 2011 & sold it in 2015. I was on a LAMs licence & wanted something a bit different. I used it to commute to work in Brisbane. Other than regular maintenance, I rebuilt the carbies. One of them was completely missing a fuel jet! It gave me no trouble except a snapped clutch cable in the middle of peak hour traffic which was super fun. Glad to see it's still going strong & making someone else happy. I was thinking about how cool it was so decided to look up zxr250's & here it is!
It's not all about hp and speed, that dosent get you trough a corner much faster. Good tires and sume suspension adjustment and you will keep up with most bikes in The corners
My brother let me ride his cbr250r tricolour from the same era at 18 on my L’s - 18,000 was an amazing sound. Now having turned 41 I still hanker for a ride on one but the WR450F will have to do.
@@jasicjan Managed to find one in the UK and one in Greece, but neither really went anywhere (buyers asking too much and not willing to assist with shipping)… Kawasaki did recently announce a new ZX-4R four cylinder 400cc coming to Europe, i’m gonna wait and see if that might be a good modern alternative.
@@SephiMasamune I see, thats a good plan. They will launch this model by the end of the year I guess so its a long waiting time. Its unfortunate that the new model zx25r is prohibited from entering EU area due so emission restrictions :/
Torque is low because capacity is low. Good naturally aspirated engines usually have a torque figure close or a bit higher than the figure of their capacity (250 cc => 25 Nm irrespective of the engine layout and power per liter ratio)
All I can say is DO IT! I had one. It is all the bike you will ever need. I never had to twist the throttle all the way to beat the competition. You will not be disappointed! Love you're channel! I watch everything!
@@ZeroTo60Tube sorry mate just sold it needed to grow up so bought me a supercharged Kawasaki 🤣 message me if your keen to test it 😂😂 it makes the bmw feel slow
hello dude. try not use the clutch when you pushing hard,just quick release the throttle. you will not burn your clutch by slipping it between gears as you do. and it will go faster! 😎👌
