Note to all GZ250 riders, don't let your Air cooled engine idle until the pipes are bright red. Lesson learned Login or Register to Remove Ads |

-Perfect chrome means you don't ride enough.
-Blue is slightly lean. -Red corresponds to the burning of money from your wallet. Rainbow equals just right:
