Hello, New to this site
I recently got a 2004 GZ250 in several pieces. It is my retirement project. I have not been on a bike for some tome and wanted a simple and safe bike I could enjoy and take care of. I have the whole thing apart and I am restoring and repairing as I go. I have repaired and painted the tins and am now tackling the mechanicals. Before I started I did have the motor running. I will do a complete overhaul in any case. I have a lot of found time on my hands so I am in no hurry to get this on the road. My skills are quite rusty I am sure. In any case I have had a lot of experience in mechanicals and body and paint. Be glad to offer any help I can. I will post the results when completed. It will be triple black with mostly stock appearance. The exhaust will be flat black. I am doing all the work in my garage/shop so I am using basic tools and equipment.

Re: Hello, New to this site
Welcome Melter,
Sounds like you have a lot of mechanical abilities. Best wishes on your restoration/rebuild of the GZ. A lot of folks on this site would suggest that you find a rider safety course if it's been a while since you've ridden, I will be one of those recommending that. A lot of folks take courses like that regularly even though they are continuous and long term riders. I think we can all benefit from a refresher from time to time. Well, either way, hope you really enjoy your GZ, great bike and lots of fun to ride. :2tup: Login or Register to Remove Ads |
