I was leaning towards timing- the set screw has been loosened and tightened so many times that it was stripped- just haven't gotten to that piece. I pulled the main jet to check it this afternoon,but it hasn't any numbers marked on it so I'm flying blind with that end of things.

Leak down test all good,held pressure like a champ.

I'm at wits end ( and wallets end). I've been working on a 74 ks125 since June. Bored cylinder,new piston+rings,new con rod,balanced cam shaft, bottom and top both rebuilt. Starts and idles great,but, under load,at upper rpms (5-6k) she sputters and misses, power loss. The only thing I can think...

1974 ks125 ready to ride and restore- maybe...

Just too tall for my GS. Asking $75 plus shipping. Located in Vestal,NY

Offering up: Icon Airmada. White gloss, size M. Used twice, still mint, please see pictures. I'm located in Vestal, NY. Asking $130 plus shipping. Will ship with original packaging. No extra charge for the DCC sticker! Thanks!

Like a day at the beach in upstate NY. Salty, sandy, and sunny...Gotta love a January ride on a 64 Honda!

The latter of the two seems to be the way I end up doing things...Thank you...I guess maybe I'll run it for a year on the stock rear and see how I feel about it.

Hiya Folks! Does anyone out there know of an 18" wheel that I can swap directly to my 1980 Suzuki GS250? The stock size is a 17 and I'm absolutely clueless in this area. Thanks for your time and expertise!

Northish- we must have the same e-bay dealer! Love the 450,great bike there! magazine-cool SR! I was looking at one, but the deal fell through. Thank you both!

Light and fun! Still thinking about lower shocks...the 14.5 inch units push the limits. Next up: finding an 18'' wheel to fit...

...aaaaand she's done!

Re: Distinguished Gentleman's Ride 2016! 20 days to go! The GS250 is back from the shop and I'll be hitting the Syracuse ride for the third year running. Seems a smaller crowd this year, but many of the riders have events in their own cities this year. Still and all, I can't wait!

I truly believe that this is a necessary addition to the closet

It's a great event... this will be my third year in the Syracuse ride... providing the gs250 is done!
