Hello Folks. I've been reading up on the GZ250 here for a couple of days as I just bought my wife a 2008 Silver as an upgrade from her 86 Rebel 250. She didn't want to go up in size just yet as she has only been riding since last July but the stealership had a great deal on the 08 with only a 1000 miles and not a scratch and having done so much work to the Rebel I was happy to make the bail to make my life easier and her smile a bit bigger.

Thanks for the service manuals. That just saved me some money right there. I do have questions though:
1. Are there rims that I can put radials on out there? The reason I ask is we have grooved highways here in Abq and the bike tracks noticeably and I strongly suspect this is due to the tube/tire configuration as my VFR doesn't even notice the grooves. I did a site search and google search but am coming up with nada. The Rebel has the same problem and I want her to feel as comfortable as possible when driving under all conditions.

2. Any good on-line parts stores for the GZ250? Always good to know where one can get a good deal on parts should the need arise. I haven't done a search on this one yet so I apologize in advance if this one has all ready been covered.

Thanks again and this site has been pretty well organized with good community support from what I have seen so far. Keep up the great work. :2tup:
