Ahhh, yes. The all-elusive "B" spot.

what I did to my gz250 today is got it washed, waxed and polished.

Lowering the back pad will also make the bracket less likely to bend too.

Looks very good in the pic, well done.

today I took about 3 inches off the backrest and lowered the pad. looks better now. I also tightened my drive chain.

this is how the drivers backrest looks now.

Looks good,much better!!! ;) :)

thanks blaine.

What I did to my gz today is install a 2005-2009 Suzuki boulevard c90 sissy bar backrest. To make it work I had to drill one hole in each bracket and install some longer bolts. I paid 39.99 for it new from ebay.

That was a real bargain and the sissy bar looks pretty good too. Ya did good.

thanks ww.

Qasual - Finally finished paying off my one piece race suit, next season will be crazy !

I might even track Cathy's Marauder for fun.

Just wait till it is warm enough and dry enough for a ride up to Lilloeet and enjoy the bike's abilities on the road. A lot of the road north of Pemberton was resurfaced recently.

Qasual - Ooohhh, sounds great. I think I prefer to go 200+ on the track and if I bail it will be a little more safe on the track.

The track is the only place to bail if you have to do a get off. The GZ might surprise you on the track but don't get run over by the fast guys. Lynda enjoyed pushing her GZ through the twisties once she learned to trust counter steering.

Cathy never really learned how to ride a bicycle (lol) so hopefully teaching her counter-steering is easy since she did not learn the wrong way with a bicycle first.hahaha.

Get a copy of Proficient Motorcycling. It has a very good explaination of counter steering and why it works on any 2 wheeler.

Qasual - I think I have Full throttle laying around somewhere in my room and we watched Twist of the wrist together. School is going to help a ton though.

On topic; planning to winterize the GZ. Got some Rotella T6 and OEM filters ready, just gotta find my brush for the chain and also adjust it. Oh yeah and a clotter pin.

Yeah....but but winter is almost over.

Watch the oil usage with the T6. It may or may not use oil so be on your toes. In the future you can get Hi Flo HF-136 oil filters for less and they are the same thing minus the Suzuki name.

Hey Qasual, were you at modern motorcycling on commercial today? Went there to order some parts and Aaron mentioned another GZ250 guy came in today too lol.

Qasual - Hahaha yeah that was me getting a filter for Cathy's bike.

On topic: I told Cathy to read up more on the forum and the service manual so we can be prepared for next season. Also I didn't actually pick up my obe piece race suit because I didn't have the funds yet. Next week for sure !

Qasual -X10bws Aaron was just talking about you today at Modern, I forgot to order a 16t sprocket so I did today. Didn't know you wete local. We should ride sometime, pm me your number.

GZ250bike.com - Come check out our new casual encounters section...

Sounds kinda kinky............Ooops, wrong forum.

Qasual - I actually went to the main page to look for a "Spotted" sub forum. Grr

A "spotted" section would be pretty cool. We can then see how many other gz250 riders are there in your area.

what I did to my gz250 today is.... I check and adjusted the rear brakes. I changed both sprockets and the chain. checked and topped off the oil. checked air in tires.Attachment 45

Attachment 46
then I took my old lady for a ride.Attachment 47
then a friend met up with me to go for a ride to santee cooper lake.Attachment 48
friends bike.Attachment 49
it was a good day to work on my gz250 a take it for a ride.

I put about 85 miles on the gz250 this day.

Sounds like a good day in SC.

It hit the 40s today, so I've been seeing a few bikes pop out here and there, but it's still a bit nipply for me.

My first real ride was to work on a day like this. I had the day off but I wanted to ride so I went in....I should have worked cause I spent the next two hours inside drinking coffee, trying to get feeling in my fingers again.

when I left to go to the lake it was about 60 degrees on the way back the sun was setting and temp was dropping fast. I didn't think to wear my leather pants and about froze my legs and the family jewels. lol. I have been using hunting gloves on my hands and they keep them warm. I hope the weather gets better for y'all out there.

40 degrees here today and the roads are covered with salty water, sand and slush with a few ice patches. Saw a guy out on a H-D this afternoon...

johnc. that guy must of had a very important meeting.lol.

Qasual - Did a pretty slick burnout on wet pebbled concrete with Cathy's GZ and swung it around twice before parking her again. Darn you winter !

qasual. next time you do that video it and post it. I would like to see that.

Qasual : Seriously haha, it was nothing special. It was just wet and I thought it would be fun. Maybe this afternoon I will again. I also realized when taking it for a joy ride I lost all feeling of a 600cc sports bike. The GZ felt like a speed demon while going 40km/h haha. To think I was used to rolling first gear too 120km/h in three seconds.

lol! yeah! I haven't seen anything like that on a gz250. lol on the speed demon!

Qasual: Wondering if anyone skiis here, I work up in a resort and the snow is a bit sad. :(

I ski, but only when the plows can't make it thru!

I used to ski a bit, then transitioned to the snowboard because...well, because it's cooler really. I even tried those awesome snowblades things because in my mind they were similar to rollerblades on snow, and I was fairly proficient skater. But Snowboarding was my thing.

Yosemite was probably my favorite. I know you're going to piss on that because be Canadian Rockies are fucking amazing. But still. Yosemite provides an amazing backdrop.

I board as well, great winter sport when not riding. Umm anyone here own a non-Gz250, I got my self a CBR600rr. Really aiming for track days next season.

I have a scooter...lol.
