hi guys, well, as per topic, i lost my motorbike keys. its a kawasaki gpx250 - yes im on my L's.

anyone know what would be the cheapest way to get my motorcycle running again! thanks

Pull your ignition out and bring it to a locksmith. Does it also have helmet lock on it as well? did it work off the same key?

Lol

I did the same on my old ZZR250!!!

There is a number on the face of the lock barrel, I think that it is a leter and four numbers.

I took the barrel out and took it in, to find out that this number is a key ID.....

Take the number to a good locksmith and see how you go before pulling it a part.

Try that, You might need proof of owner ship but.....

thanks for the quick replies guys!

4admrn : I rang around and they are trying to charge me around $300!

KeyMaker: It has a helmet lock and a seat lock, all use the same key, any tips on pulling the ignition barrel out? Im a bit nervous, and dont want to screw anything up

seeyagtr: i looked for a number, all i could see was 238-M69 could this be the right number? or do i have to pull out the ignition barrel to find the number? also how much did it cost you to get another one?

thanks heaps guys, i really appreciate your help! i'm getting pissed of with catching the train to the city with all the other plebs every morning :thumbsup:

No that number you have isn't the one. You should be able to find it stamped on the side of the ignition housing, which involves taking the whole ignition housing and electrical switch off the bike, the electrical switch should be attached to it.

You may find the number on the side of the helmet lock body....maybe, maybe not. Taking the ignition assembly out should just be a matter of screws and bolts and taking off whatever shrouds you have to.

Find whatever numbers you can and pm them to me, I'll tell you if its the right one.

It should cost $30-$50 at the most to get a couple of keys cut from the number, thats if you go to them.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
