Right my beautiful NSR passed her 9000 mile birthday today, and the engine's beginning to complain. The occasional knock I feel through the pegs is beginning to occur more often, as is the "like a bus" sound that the NSR gives on tickover. Another problem i've found is that the NSR's now a bit akward to kick up into second. Not always, but occasionally.
I'm out of work and i need to know basically, how long can i run the NSR before i *HAVE* to get her sorted? I appreciate that each machine is different, which is why i'm only asking for general advice.
Any comments would be appreciated, unless they are derogatory ot unhelpful in any way . ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/nsrandy/96rs250/ My Bike!

my 1998 NSR had 25000 miles on the clock when l sold it and it never had a re-build in its life, just depends on how well it have been looked after generally l would expect a 125 2stroke to last more than 9000 before anthink serious ____________________ Past:NRG50,AF1125(x2),NSR125RR,ZZR250,CX500,VFR400,KR1S,ZZR600(x2),CB400N,YZF1000(x2),KH125,Z200,FX400R,CBR954RR(x2)GPZ500S,GT550,VFR750F(x2),RD350N,XR650R,CBR600F,CB250,KDX250,YZF750R,CRM250,400EXC,KLR650,TTR600RE,DR350S,R100GSPD,RGV250,VMAX1200,DL650 Present:G650XC,C12,KZ750,1190ADV |

Well it will go bang soon, not much you can do about it really! and a motorbike is far better than walking, besides CG's are cool in their own little way |

In the same way Cub 90's are classic bikes?
The NSR will only go bang if i don't take measures to prevent it. I'd rather spend some money on staving off an expensive failure than spent no money and have to get a new engine. ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/nsrandy/96rs250/ My Bike!

What preventative measures are they then, not riding the bike?
If you think that something *may* be wrong with the engine at the moment, then it is going to go pop soon whether you like it or not? nothing you can do about it?
It will cost about £130 to rebuild the whole top end. |
