what's with Honda CBR 250R's from 1988-89 costing as much as 2008 Ninjas...?

Cause they are imports, and just like Jap cars they hold their value. Most of the expensive ones will just be low km examples that have been put in storage for years just like the cars, and complianced/plated as more recent models. That said, all old bikes hold their value as long as mileage is retained low - 250cc especially as learner bikes always do. The CBR250RR are worth the most because they were pretty tricked out, had two swingarms and twin...rotors...on the front. The engines are the highest revving (don't quote me) of any factory motorbike, up around 20,000rpm or something ridiculous like that and way over-engineered. Many claim them to be the fastest 4 stroke 250, with top speeds around 180-190, but acceleration itself won't be much better than other late model Japs. Get a Ninja.

Plus you can put an Akrapovic on them :worship:

:dry:

depends.... is it prononced jeppe or yeppe? ;)

'Jeppe' with the 'J' usual... Most people get that... Its the 'e' on the end that they forget. Still I'm used to it so not so much irking :)

Anyway enough of that, no rain today, yay! (touch wood) Won a free ride day, yay! No tinted visor though, boooooo! New helmet though, yay!

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
