Re: making one bike from two
summary (after 500 km (300 miles)):
With every kilometer it runs better (when GZ250 was bought there wasn't enough oil in engine - through accident GZ participate in - oil came to air filter when crashed bike was laying on side) - clutch, gearbox and "sound" are so much better than 500 km ago Motul 300V is good oil. I recommend it for everyone. Mostly used in racing bikes and cars. Keeps engine clean. Oil leaks from dust seal from left fork, but it's not a big deal. Seal replacing should stop leaking Bike top speed and acceleration isn't worth comparing to 125. Transmittion has longer ratios. Bike runs faster than 125, driving is more delicate to acquire estabilished speed. No need to "juggle" transmition gears when accelerating or decerasing speed. I've got a feeling that 125 engine is to weak to provide comfortable driving on GZ bike. But engine transplant - not worth doing Except many differences in parts, GZ125 frame isn't quite the same as in GZ250 Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: making one bike from two
Does the 125 have the same number of teeth on both sprockets as the 250? Both bikes may have the same transmission but the 125 may have different sprockets to accommodate the smaller engine. That would make sense from a manufacturing cost factor.

Re: making one bike from two
I had an accident today, some idiot drove in front of me from minor road, from right side. Didn't have time or place to put motorbike to the ground (salvage) - just started handling. I'm quite okay - flipped on car mask and landed on legs. Bike needs new mudguard, little suspension straightening (loosing bolts put straight and tighten bolts) and at least headlamp ring...
Here are a few photos done before this, and 1 after. |

Re: making one bike from two
Very glad to hear you have no injuries from the mishap. The bike is repairable or replaceable if need be. I would imagine the crash bars saved a lot of damage when the bike finally can to rest.

Re: making one bike from two
Well, crashbar didn't help because i rided straight into the front-left side of car, my front wheel stoped in car's slot between it's wheel and fender. That's why my fender is in many pieces. The bike stopped in the car and was in standing position, didn't fell on the ground.
