Hey guys, So I am finally rebuilding my bike and I have run into a small problem, as can be seen on the photo below, I need to torque this nut with 36 Nm of force, yet my torque wrench cant fit into such a small area, I have heard of torque spanners, but are there other ways of doing this...

Does anyone have any idea where i can get a wiring diagram for a VTR 250, year:2000 model?? thanks guys Jacques

I'll give that a shot, thanks brother

Hey guys, So I am having trouble getting my rear wheel chain ring off, I need to do this so that i can get it painted. The screws are so tight, making it unbelievably difficult to get it off with an allen key. Any help would be soooo handy. Thanks Guys Jacques

Hey Guys, So I am going to be finishing my bike this holidays hopefully (Uni student life) and i am already keen to start a new one. Would be looking at something a bit larger than my VTR 250, would be keen to go into the 550-750 range, of maybe a Honda CB or even Suzuki GS. My question is...

oh man,i am hoping to do a CB350 or higher for my next project, that engine looks mint man....love the sneaky glass of red in the back ;)

Thanks dude :D I did strip the stator and the cylinder head cases, then i realised i wasted time and money haha. I used a product called Shellite which worked quite well, gets rid of all the oil. I then sent Sonreir a message asking for a hand, he said that the engine doesn't need to be all...

Its from a Honda VTR 250, quite a nice V-twin i think, was quite an easy paint job

Na not a powder coat, just high heat paint, so need to run it to get it to really cure though.
