fresh pics of my zongy

bsskibum · 08-11-2013, 12:56 PM

just the bike waiting patiently for me to get off work and rip some streets up

new flush mount blinkers to cover up the broken out holes the other ones had left when they rattled and broke the fairing..(hard streets here lots of holes and bumps)

oh crap..anyone see the front end? i seemed to have lost it..
j/k this is when i did the fork oil change yesterday

Strange, I can see them? Unless something was changed in the meantime. Nice looking bike!

It may be the computer I am on.

Great idea with the blinkers!

I love your weight saving strategy, but I think it may affect the steering LOL!

Nice looking bike, I am glad you are enjoying it. What is it's maximum comfortable cruising speed?

Your ZS250GS is looking good!

Weldangrind · 08-22-2013, 12:58 AM

Great looking bike! I'd really like to get ahold of that motor.

nice bike

katoranger · 09-09-2013, 09:10 AM

I can see the pics at home. It is a nice looking bike. How has it been holding up?

bsskibum · 10-04-2013, 11:17 PM

she is holding up great!!
almost 6000k on her ..
she is cruising down the city streets at around 50mph with around 5,000rpm..
and that leaves about 2,000rpm to drop the hammer and get out of the way of idiots that try to hit me daily..
she tops out at 70mph at 7200rpm
no problems to report...

FastDoc · 10-04-2013, 11:20 PM

Wonderful news. Very nice looking bike.

SpudRider · 10-04-2013, 11:23 PM

I knew you were the man to prove the ZS250GS a reliable motorcycle.

FastDoc · 10-04-2013, 11:31 PM

I'm glad to see it myself. They got off to a bad start here with my bike and several others!

bsskibum · 10-05-2013, 03:18 PM

been hearing a slight clacking from the top end.
noticed a hot smell last couple of days
so I decided to do more than just change the oil.
got all setup with tools and such laid out.got my cool smurf nirttle gloves out
.. stripped off the tank and checked valve lash..
the .06mm fit nicely and the 8 was a no go. perfect still.

so I popped the filter cover off.....
omg.. lucky she was still running..
it was covered in a black ..stuff is best way to explain it. with alot of metal..
one little area for oil to flow thru
since I got her with a little over 1000 miles I can only assume this was first filter cleaning..
maf cleaner and it looked lile new...
cleaned up the filter hole.. some fresh 10w40 and fired her up...
wow not a peep ot of the top end...
she never sounded this good..
later I will take her for a spin and see if she responds better since now she is getting the correct amount of oil!!!

FastDoc · 10-05-2013, 07:01 PM

That was close.

Keep an eye on things, in case it is making metal somewhere.
