250 build!!!

[GS250]

Hey all, i know alot of you are gonna tell me to upgrade to a bigger bike, but i really like this little 250. so, how do i go about squeezing every bit of power out of this little motor? thanx, and please go easy on me for trying this, i just like taking lemons and making lemonade. . by the way its a 1980.

I don't know anything about engine mods really .. but I have a parts bike if you need any replacement parts .. let me know.

Good luck with your project

you are going to have a real hard time with it. after market parts don't exist for the bike so either custom stuff or tons of research and cross referance. easiest thing for you to do is find a small turbo and give that a try.

Small turbo huh? would i need an intercooler? and how would i go about routing from the turbo to my carbs? seems like alot of plumbing if i go turbo. i was thinking about nitrous. but would that detonate the motor?

your on your own. i have no experience with 250's. might want to check out what the ninja 250 guys do or have available. i have never seen a built 250 on here since being a member. with enough time and money anything is possable and i am afraid you will need both and a willingness to get down and dirty and fabricate your own stuff.

really? i need to replace the master cylinder for the front brake. how much would you send that to me for? i'm out in northern missouri so wherever your sending from i'd probly say use ups. they're the best way to get parts out to where i live. do you also have the rear shocks? mine just about had it and bumps in the road are hurting my ass.

It will take me some time but I will get the master off for you ..

Rear shocks are available, but really I would advise to by new ones.

I will be back in touch.

Scratch the MC. i was working all night and used two spare MC's to fix the one thats on the bike and refurbished one of three calipers i had and now my front brakes work great. but i'm still going to need a horn to pass inspection so would you please set it aside for me if you still have it. thank you.

Loose weight. jk not much you can co with 250

[rustybronco]

Two ways as I see it. only ride it down hill, or put a bigger engine in it.
