Yes. omfg yes... spent 6 hours trying to get that right started with the recommended 1.5 turns out and did 1/4 turns till they were all 3.5 turns out. letting it sit for a couple mins between each adjustment. started over and went from 1.5 backwards to 0. nothing got it to idle right but i'm pretty sure that somewhere between 1.5 and 2 is where is should be.

 

it's official. I'm stewpit.

just pulled my slow jets again and they're completely clogged again.
I'm baffled as to how this happened but hopefully cleaning them out fixes the problem.

 

Someone find me a stupid cheap rebel.

 

how cheap is stupid cheap?
I have a friend with a 250. he rode it like 2x, a friend then laid it over, and he hasn't ridden it since.
He might sell it.

 

I'm looking at one for $600. As close to that as possible. I'm trying to make something sick without a ton of cash.





obtw, I just came

 

like i said in the texts earlier.. look for a VLX. Next time you're at the beach, look at the rat'ed VLX parked out front of ocean mystique's ink gallery on the blvd. That thing is killer. I keep meaning to stop by and see who it belongs to.

You're gonna get sick of that 250 real fast, it's like a moped (same motor as the VBPB police bikes). at least a VLX can maintain an interstate speed semi-comfortably. that, and the VLX has it's shock under the seat, so it LOOKS like a rigid, but it isn't. I dunno if you've ever ridden a rigid rear bike, especially without a spring seat. but it'll hurt ya, especially around here (f-u VDOT!)

btw, send me pics of your r6, I may be able to sell it for you.

 

Think you could sell my high-mount exhaust? Fits 99-02 R6... I could send some pics.

 

I'll get good pics soon.

Did you get my text about that wrecked 1100 shadow? Why did you say only 600's, I forgot to ask.

 

750's and 1100's are shaft drive, and ugly as hell if you're trying to chop them. tank choices on bikes like that are REAL limited, and at least the VLX is chain drive, and has a good looking tank. That and the fact that they've been making them FOREVER, you should be able to find a beater to chop pretty cheap. That one I was talking about outside the ink gallery is really simple, just took off everything that isn't needed, changed the seat and bars, and a few little details, and it looks awesome. you may have to shell out more cash for a VLX over a 250 rebel, but you'll be happy you did in the long run.
I'm telling you man, I've ridden a 250 nighthawk (same bike, minus the bodywork) on the interstate, and even for short distances, it SUCKED.

 

i can try, no promises. what brand is it? full system or slip-on?
