upgrades?

[blaine]

I kept my G.Z. longer than most people do.(31/2 years).My bike worked excellent all the time.Never once did it fail to start,or leave me on the road.I averaged 70 mpg after my mods.I sold it with 44000 kms on it for $2250.00.I agree that I put a lot of time on the bike,but that is what I enjoy.As mrlmd1 stated "Most of the mods newbies are doing lead to having to constantly fiddle and adjust things to get it right, or even to get it to run at all." I probably spend more time researching my projects,than actually doing them.That's why they work,I do my homework.I couldn't begin to tell you how many hours I spent researching,before I done any mods on my 454.So to any noobies:If you are going to do any mods,do your homework,it pays off in the end.

Its a 250cc bike and thats that. You can make it run smoother, better ... but not faster or more powerful.

Yep, Dupo. My next mod is "lift gas cap and insert something bigger". :cool:

That was humor? Seemed pretty right on.
What's really funny is that no matter how much is posted on here and on other forums, people will still persist in trying to get 1 or maybe 2 more hp out of this bike and insist they got maybe 3 or 5, with no real evidence they ever got anything worthwhile. Maybe the bike goes faster because of a lighter wallet? :??:

I think the best "upgrade" for me is just accepting the bike for what it is and enjoying the ride . I normally ride 55/60 on the road. An earlier post from Java showed a 250 rally with a lot of 250 riders. I think they get it, most even had full gear on [thats got to be hot] but they were really into the ride spirit of the ride, for a large group of bikers. If you want more than this bike [GZ 250] can deliver you need a different bike. I to have other bikes, but but overall I think I enjoy the 250 more. Just my opinion. :biggrin: Terry
