CBR250RR Exhaust Comparison - Musarri or Xcite Stainless?
Quick video showing the difference between some exhausts for the CBR250RR MC22. Mic isn't too advanced so doesn't pick up all the subtle nuances in the tone but the Xcite one is a bit quieter and deeper. And I did not get any no exhaust footage, sorry boys.

Adjustable Rear Sets - Probably my favourite mod
Переглядів 1,5 тис.7 років тому
Rear sets that can be adjusted are just amazing. Tall guys on sport bikes especially will benefit the most from them. I got mine from a guy who makes them in batches. If you want a pair for the CBR250RR there is a group of guys who race MC22's on the Gold Coast. They make their own as far as I can tell. You can find them here - teamtiger.com.au/bike-preperation/ Also at the start I notice a bol...

    My mechanic friend Ricky is one of few that will still work on classic & vintage motorcycles properly . Not many shops will do other than very basic tasks due to the time consuming task of finding the correct parts as they are becoming scarce in some cases . They are trying to wean us off the older motorcycles . I hope that when I am riding my FZR 250 3LN1 that when I leave it in a public place that it doesn't get vandalised .

  • @robertmcfadyen9156
    @robertmcfadyen9156 2 роки тому

    I have been criticised for going back on the road riding after a 25 year hiatus . Also getting parts for the FZR 250 3LN1 that is being organised . Most motorcycle dealers won't touch anything pre 2000 due to the red tape finding correct parts & the refusal to fit pre loved parts from wreckers . A friend took his MC22(R) to Bikebiz & they reinstalled old defective parts leading to an engine failure later on & overcharged him for work .

  • @robertmcfadyen9156
    @robertmcfadyen9156 2 роки тому

    I have a second FZR 250 3LN1 to rebuild for road use but I have faced criticism for returning to the road at 50 after such a long hiatus . The critics tell me to find a newer motorcycle instead in the interest of serviceability & availability of parts . Most dealers won't touch motorcycles from pre 2000 as the concepts are no longer taught at our technical colleges . You cannot lane filter in NSW until you are on your Silver license . Some 650s are going to be removed off the learner list this year in NSW due to recent findings of a technical nature .

  • @robertmcfadyen9156
    @robertmcfadyen9156 2 роки тому

    The stock seat on the MC22 is awful as is the case with the FZR 250 . Reupholstering makes a real difference . My Tyga has an electronics room made regulator / rectifier with parts from electronics suppliers which is better than the OEM one . It is over engineered . .The GSX-R 250 has the most comfortable seat out of the four makes . A friend had his engine fail last month due to constant redlining & hard riding in hot weather . A cam gear failed during an extended redlining session on a long hill . He missed a shift & the engine let go . These engines fail easily nowadays due to wear , their age & the fact that many have been thrashed & abused or ridden hard , they are not bullet proof . Gear driven cams are mechanically inefficient & make terrible sounds .

Also I just bought a MC22. The sound amazing even at 60km/ph at 10000 RPM's.. The Gold Coast roads are 70km/ph max. Why the hell would I want anything else?

Meek as a lamb and fierce as a hungry lion In the twist of the throttle. The bike inspires confidence with great handling and stability combined with legendary Honda build quality. Easy to work on and service for the home mechanic. In a word outstanding.
