my mk2 used to do that, it was (i think) the powervalve 'chattering' as it started to open, i say think as it sounded like it was coming from up high on the front of the engine and it certainly wasnt the piston/barrel etc as i had it apart to check and all was well, i just ignored it and it didnt ge...

oops - forgot to finish answering your question

no thats not mine mate, mine was going to have the union flag decals but iv found something else that i really really need so it has to go,
not too worried if it doesnt mind, it is a cracking little bike

pm me you address and ill get it in the post for you

Thanks for your help as always.

if knack aint got one im pretty sure i have mate, just let me know

is it the plastic wheel/cog that fits onto the pump your after or another that drives that ?

Check out the likely insurance cost first though. The hunting on the road does eventually drive you mad,I had the same on a KDX 200. Mike my mk2 hunts a fair bit at low'ish revs/speed, iv tried all sorts of carb adjustments etc to try to stop it but to no avail - is it just mine or do they all do i...

mine does that if i leave it for a few weeks, i just put it in gear and rock it with the clutch pulled in, it might take a good few 'rocks' but it normally does the trick

i thought the ole crm was even more wobbly than usual whilst trucking to work this morning, a quick check revealed the front wheel bearings are as loose as a really really loose thing!!! quick scout on ebay and i couldnt see any for a mk2 so would these fit ?? i had a quick search on here and im thi...

hmmmm thats a shame as i was going to order the union flag decals, dont think ill bother if its gonna be a long wait as ill have prob changed my mind by the time they arrive

hahaha i know, i had 1 back in the 80's which spent more time steaming than riding

i was wondering about fitting 2 rads to it - crm/cr poss ?? gotta be do able with some gaffa tape and cable ties surely

i think i'll be ordering 2 fans anyhow, one for each........ just to be safe

good stuff cheers guys :) it doesnt overheat..... at least it hasnt yet anyway, i was just going to fit one 'just incase' as it will be doing alot of slow (very slow prob :lol: ) greenlane stuff, nowt too tricky as i dont bounce as well as i used to :shock: good news is the ole crm is going to stay ...

right, after reading various threads on here about the use of cpu fans for the rad i thought, as the bike will be used for all sorts, inc a fair bit of slow town riding, fitting a fan wouldnt be a bad idea :) looking into wheres best (read easiest !!) to wire it into i thought up the following.... a...

thanks for all the advice,

just one last thing, is there any reason why an xr400 shock wouldnt fit as they seem interchangable with the 250 or is it just a case of miss matched damping/ springing etc ????

thanks again

cheers i hadnt seen that!! i cleaned some of the crud off mine and it has a sticker on it saying .......BE ? OR made in spain, theres a ? coz the sticker has a bit missing lol !! im assuming (after a quick google) that BETOR shocks are just a cheap replacement as it has no remote res etc ? it seems ...

hey guys, could someone with a mk2 please measure their bikes seat height for me pls ?? mine has got a different shock on it and its bonkers high, the p/o was a tall guy and im not lol !! iv backed off the spring pre-load a bit but its still too tall - im on tiptoes !!!!! had a look on ebay for a st...
