    Have you guys got any ideas for improving cold starts ? My SR250 is taking a good 10-15 minutes of 1/4 throttle before sustaining idle. Cant leave it to idle on its own even with full choke as it dies. Have put a fresh plug in it and gave the carb a cursory once over with injector cleaner, hasnt made any decent improvements. I was assuming its just been the cold weather, but even with daily use its not getting any better. TIA

    small update after an afternoon in the shed. small speedo fitted. will trim down the speedo mount to bring it closer to the bars. seems relatively accurate, if not a little slow ? its probs just the bike... also hacked the front guard down . took it for a hoon through some puddles and it still serves its purpose. may have trimmed a bit too much off at the back, so might buy another one and try again. indicators are on their way from aliexpress. the stock seat is so horrendously ugs i feel disappointed every time i look at it. will order a new one soon. waiting for some good weather to take this thing for a decent journey!

    parts arrived yesterday, so spent the morning chucking them on. new tracker bars sit much lower, took way more effort than swapping handlebars ever should, powdercoat is super thick and none of the switch blocks or levers would slide on so spent a bit of time sanding and persuading them to fit. sadly snapped the right indicator switch that goes into the block, but was already held together with gaffa tape so it was expected. new megaphone muffler fitted straight over the header, no shims needed. sounds so good!! a lot less sewing machine sounding now. has removable baffle also for max wannabe harley spec. sadly the hanger doesnt fit so will have to make one up, but other than that pretty stoked at how easy this bike has been to modify so far. ebay seat is not gonna fit nicely without chopping the rear end off and starting again, which for a $80 seat i dont think will be worth it. there's a company that makes a custom seat that fits over the factory frame, only needing a few tabs and brackets grinded off. its expenny but looks so lush. pix

    after selling GP125 it was time to move on to the next project. so i picked this thing up yesterday! 1983 Yamaha SR250, fully road legal and ready to go. at an extremely sharp price it was hard to say no. the dude i bought it off had gone overseas and was chillin in storage, hasnt been used for 4 months so took a wee bit to start it and warm up. gave it a good run today and blew off the cobwebs, such a great ride being able to keep up with open road traffic. sits at 100km/h no troubles if the wind has nothing to say about it. Experiencing finer luxuries like electric start, 12v charging system and a neutral light are a delightful bonus. ' will be a slow build but i plan to tidy it up and turn it into a street tracker/brat style bike. theres a few minor things to get sorted, few gaffa tape side cover repairs and some questionable braking ability at the top of the list. already ordered tracker bars, small speedo and a megaphone muffler. will probs buy tiny battery and gut out the midsection for max lushness. also bought a flat seat with great optimism, but after looking at the frame it is gonna be a real mission to get it to fit nicely without taking to it with a grinder. ideally id like to put a rear hoop in and get it super tidy so we'll see how we go. pix for inspiration
