That is very sexy that AR, have fun on her.

'pinking' sounds scary, but you mean it kind of 'pops' lightly as if it's misfiring? If this so, then its normal (especially on bigger singles).

As it only happens when closing throttle and its doesn't increase when reved then I'd highly doubt its down to engine wear/damage.

Sorry to hear about your employment situation, hopefully you get it sorted sooner than later.

However I'd be up for some Somerset rides as I'm only in Bristol.

Welcome to the forum mate,

Aint far from you in Bristol, so will have to meet up for a ride out when we both get our bikes.

All the best,
Jack

Just read the review of the different Mk's on the main site and it's very helpful and will definately aid me in my decisions on which bike to go for. Also found the bike runs on oil pump as standard which is dead handy.

Hi Xander, Funny you say that as I was perving on your CRM outside Q block this wednesday morning, lovely looking things and I didn't realise how small they actually are.

Just a couple q's? (sorry if its the wrong section)

How much would I roughly be expecting to pay for a well maintained mk2/3 (cosmetics unimportant)? Just so I've got a rough target to work towards earning cash wise. Whats the favourite/common options for SM rims?

Ta,
Jack

Yeah, I can't afford an AR really (or to buy parts to repair it if it goes wrong) so most likely to go for a mk3 on the basis of looks only at the moment. I'll have to research more intensively to see what the different MK's are all about though before I make a final decision. Thanks for the warm we...

Hi all, My name is Jack, I'm 21yrs old and living in Bristol and studying at UWE. Currently riding a 1989 tdr250 (taken off the road as needs some tlc) and a 2003 rs125. I'm really interested in getting a CRM250 but I thought I'd join up here to get some more information about what's what concerning...
