[ironhead1530]

Hello everyone...I'm new to this forum. I am selling my 2001 Rebel for this GZ250. I'm picking it up on Wednesday. :2tup: It's got 5000 miles on it. Let me know what you think.

Looks good. You got one with the nice pin stripes that make the bike stand out.

Later on we will beat you up with suggestions concerning an 11 year old bike. But in a good way of course. Your safety and well being is a major concern.

As long as it's been taken care of, an 11 year old bike is still young. I plan on taking a GOOD look at it before I hand over cash. Is $1200 a decent deal?

Welcome.It looks good to me.11 years is not old,Hell my bike is 22 years old,and works perfectly.

Personally I think you need to let me have that sissy bar/ rack before you hurt yourself on it... I'll jump on that grenade for you because that's the kinda guy i am!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the forum from South Carolina. Nice Bike. Ride safe.

Thanks for the great comments! I'm hoping that this bike will fit me a little better than my Rebel.

How hard is it to get the discoloration out of the pipes? I know to use Blue Job, but how hard is it to get them out?

The blue color is a feature that happens to all of them. Don't worry about it. Just proof that the bike is being ridden.

ok... I read somewhere that it could me that the mixture is either too rich or too lean. Is that right?

I think it is a combo of lean mixtures and heat which is always going to occur no matter how easy you turn the throttle.

It's from leaving the choke on too long while idling which causes a rich mixture to burn in the pipes. Getting it out is hard work. On my 650 the previous owner caused the bluing and I tried Blue Job but gave up after a couple of hours. As WW said...it's a sign the bike is used.
