The wonderful world of Riding
I am sure most of the married folks out there deal with things to keep the other half happy. In my case my wife was getting
tired of riding behind me. Now that she has her own 2002 GZ250F2 I can't get her behind me anymore unless I pass her. We bought her machine used it has an aftermarket Dirt Bike muffler on the the Exhaust side. Some one did a clean job with cutting off the old muffler as you would never know it was welded as I have seen in the articles in here. It has a chrome clamp around it. The muffler is a bit unsightly as it is Black (most dirt bikes) I will say one thing though the jetting was already done and that little machine can and does hit 90 mph. Now we don't drive like that so it isn't very often. I personally think it could run a bit faster but at 85 that little machine is becoming a bit unstable. It does better with my wife on it as I weight in at 242 lbs and am 6'2" she is 5' 2" and only 125 lbs. This last Fall alone we have been up through the Green Swamp of Florida up the back way into Brooksville and skirted the Ocala National Forest. This summer we want to hit Daytona. I have ordered up the stock exhaust for this bike and even have an Ebay Carb coming in. I know she will loose some power but we are most concerned with top end. As we need her to at least be able to run 70 mph. Any help or suggestions would be grateful... Login or Register to Remove Ads |
