Hello all!

[marauder1313]

Hey everybody,

I just recently purchased a 2001 gz250, in hunter green colour. Its in relatively good shape. And pretty much stock other than a few accessories like saddlebags and windscreen.
A few issues Id like to start tackling in the near future are:
-surface rust on the chrome (rims, handlebars, etc)
-the speedometer backlight doesnt work (yet the blue highbeam indicator light stays on permanently)
-minor oil leak from valve cover gasket
-minor dent on tank

Ive been doing some reading on this forum, and it looks like the first mod im going to do is switching the front sprocket to a 16t from 15.

If anyone has any advice/tips on what I could do with the speedo, or how to take off the surface rust on the chrome, that would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much. I love the look of this bike, so im super stoked to put some serious elbow grease into it. Looking forward to getting to know the people here on this forum in the coming months and years.

Oh and im from Vancouver, Canada. Pleasure to meet everyone.
