    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Got a cheap GS250T that I'm planning to get back on the road. Going for some type of flattrack / cafe style eventually. I thought of painting it yellow & blue like an RM250 but I'm a Michigan State grad, so it may be green and white.
 
Hiya Brad, I'm a bit of a GS twin fan so keen to see where you take this.

Is she a runner or non-runner at present?
 
Mild runner. She was stored outdoors and had a little rust in one bore, decent compression. Lacks midrange power, but is that just par for the course?
 
Hmmmm not sure actually... I haven't ridden a GS250 at all, and in fact haven't ridden a 250 since about 1997...

I suspect that would be normal though as my 450 doesn't really get going 'til 4500 - 5000 RPM.
 
I have one - its fairly linear in power delivery and good for a 250. The 10k+ rpm range she really goes.
