Picked this sexy thing up on tuesday. Paid £500 for it, when I picked it up it was only running with one power valve and wouldn't go over 80mph. I was a bit upset.

Anyway today I got round to poking the power valve with some WD40 and some pliers, then took it for a spin... Fook me is it fast! t seems to be running very nicely now. I just need a loan so I can afford to fill its two stroke tank and petrol.

Tis a very nice bike mate, nice to hear it doesn't spray people following it with oil anymore and is running correctly. Wink Razz
You forgot to mention to everyone what a lovely area it was where you picked it up from. Confused

Anyway, very nice. Thumbs Up

Yeh the area was a bit dodgy. The guy sent his lad out to watch my bike while I was there just in case!

I told my mum it does 190mph, she seemed to believe me Cool

Its still 250cc like my cbr250 but this has approx 20bhp more and is obviously a two stroke Wink The seats quite a bit higher so i'm not sure it would fit you Helen, you can try though Razz

I was poking around at the power vlave cables to see if they had snapped like you suggested. I gave each cable a quick yank which must have freed them up. Seems to run very nicely now.

I haven't rode for a while now, so I want something to get used to riding on with a small price tag, until I can afford something bigger to park alongside it in my garden. Wink

130mph is fast enough for me (when its running well). IMO its the bends where the fun is at, not the 170mph straights. This RGV will give most 600cc's a pretty damn good run, it maybe 1 second slower 0-60 but it would completely abliterate a 600 on some twisties Wink

You think? That all depends on the rider, and someone on an R6 or CBR6RR could quite easily stuff you no problems as the brakes and accelleration will be much better.

Nice looking bike though, wouldn't mind one as a toy myself Very Happy
