I would be more worried about the wheels than the sprocket lol.
Talon hard ally ones hold up really well on mine, but if you want steel look at supersprox, they are really good

Mine face down, but I've used forged 90s rather than swept 90s like you have. The forged fittings clear the carbs.
I used the forged ones on the slabby i did, they were bigger an8 ones but the cleared the tank too

That much oil coming out suggests a goosed turbo imo.

That really fun Rob you must proper got under his skin and wound him up, sounds like he proper lost it.
Yeah, was a bit of a game to see how long it took to get banned. Dont think he realised he was the one being toyed with, such is his own opinion of his greatness over everyone else.

@Paulmyou should remember, it was you who started the post causing all the trouble, haha
@YoshiJohnnyit funny isnt it how what we all said at the time is happenening now.
Goes to show you cant tell readers what they should like, and you can't treat them all as inferioir to yourself. Especially when its the readers bikes that make up the content for your magazine.

That's bit harsh Rob why he say that.
You Normally find those that slag others off diverting attention from themselves for been useless.
It was over a post about a cafe racer bandit 600 they had in sboty competition. Lots of people complaining it wasnt a special was just a bandit with fork gaitors and brown seat. Jim spent whole debate giving us all grief for daring to question it, using big words to lord it over everyone loke he does, so I screenshotted hos own page where he had been slagging off a very similar bandit for the exact same things everyone was saying. Needless to say he gave a pompus response, left it up for long enough then exactly as I thought and expected he banned me from the page, then proceeded to slag me off thinking I could no longer see.

He has got a point Rob
He may have a point, but you can only come to that conclusion from actually knowing me.

Might want to check front wheel clearence if cooler is in front of the headers.
Personally I would just reduce the steering lock to suit. Ive never really found it an issue apart from Austin Powers style turns in car parks

Had stock boots on mine for years, just run a bead of Aircraft fuel tank sealer in the grooves just to help seal completely.

It's certainly better looking than your choice in cars.
Very nice bike and loads off fun.
Are you keeping it "as is" or going to tinker ?
It will be staying as is, apart from servicing, general tidy up stuff

I like the seat unit. Is it the same as on any of the 400s? I wonder if aftermarket race jobs with no pillion bit are available anywhere
Nope, it shares switchgear and front calipers with the 400's as far as I can tell. Unreal they went to such lengths to make them instead of just putting 250 motor in a 400

Good chance they might be hot cams as apparently the head & cams came from a X racer.
Look pretty stock, can see the 27a, unless they have been reground. Get em measured

Cams with stamp `B ` is from 88- R750J model (not 89 K model) , intake cam lobe height is 33,878mm - 33,918mm , exaust cam lobe height is 33,533mm - 33,573mm .
Any set of cams can have a B on them, its just random, just to do with the batch number, had them on alsorts of cams from different models
-
Only way to ident cams is measure lobes and compare specs

I wont be able to make it. Spondon isnt done and got things on the sat

Had a bit of a propper look at it today, really happy, gave the carbs a quick clean and it fired up. Sounds ace. Just needs a good going over, service and fresh tyres etc and I will be buzzing round

I see this in your future... Riding through the town centre at 16,500 rpm on an open pipe yet still only doing 25mph...
Riding everywhere at 16k and using the clutch as a throttle.
I think its going to struggle to drag my fat arse around at any decent pace, but if at least I will look cool going slowly.

Awesome ! The older i get the more i like the underengined little bikes ..
They are just so cool. Personally i think the little 250sp and gk73a 400sp are they best looking bikes ever

Dont bother with the ignition advancer, spend a bit more on an ignitech fully programable cdi and change the curve only where its beneficial, save loosing a bit of bottom end power, and still get the top end increase.

So it seems ive just bought this little gem on the bay of many things. Cool little addition to the collection. Hopefully as nice as the pics when i pick it up
