HI there,

Up for grabs cheap learner's (LAMS) bike, it's actually my mates but it's pretty much mine to ride and sell as it is now in my possession as he cannot be bothered riding. He's got a new toy, my old RB 180SX which is more fun than riding a 250cc LAMS bike w00t2.gif

Make: Yamaha

Model: FZR250

Built: 1991, Japan

Import: Yes

KMs: 38xxx

LAMS: Yes

Comments:

Bike isn't perfect, but it's a really good sports bike to start off learning on. Previous owner replaced the fairings with copied ones which looks ok for what they are. Bike has alarm and LED blinkers. Probably needs a good carb sync as it "sounds" like it needs one. Front brake pads also need replacing, they're nearly out. Also there is some blow by especially when you redline it, some oil comes out of the case crank tubes which I think could be from over filling the oil. If the rings were worn, it would be pumping out white smoke which it isn't. Great project bike if you're keen to work on it, sounds fantastic, especially with the EXUP exhaust valve. I can tell you no CBR250RR sounds as sexy shades.gif

Price: $2000 includes Rego till March 2012

Location: Canley Vale, NSW

Contact: PM only

Kinda of negotiable, will trade for parts & cash adjustments such as a RB2XDET oil cooler kit, branded bucket seat with rails for S13/14/15

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
