RaptorOwner, I'd love to see them, contact me offline at charles@georgefam.com , I might be able to compress them into a different format, and give you some space to put them on my webserver sitting on a DS3 (155mbs pipe).

 

Has anyone had to adjust the shifter up so the rider does not have to rotate foot so far down to shift?

 

surfus, I know exactly what you mean, I actually adjusted them last weekend after getting little frustrated with accidentally down shifting when trying to jimmy my foot into place to up shift. Took a total of 3 minutes to make the adjustment, and it made a world of difference.....haven't had any unwanted downshift incidents since.

 

As you say this, no I have not but that does come to mind when I rode it last. Maybe the next time we go out I will check into that. I do know that sometimes I have to really push up high on the shifter to shift.

 

we need to start a Thread on just Z250 Adjustment and Problems.
I dont see many out there.
So we can keep us all informed.

I have been Ridding Dirt Bikes for 30 years I got my first bike on my 5th birthday 1973

I also had to adjust my shifter..........

 

Ok we went for our 3rd ride Sunday. 4 hours of dusty trails. go here for photos and more info. photos http://www.surfus.com/atv/
half way in our ride I noticed some oil coming from the z250's Rear gear box plug.
when we got back it only took about 1/16" turn with an allen to tighten. I will see if it leaks the next time we ride.

Air cleaner was clean but the 400 was dirty. but I did eat her dust most of the day. I don't see myself taking off the air box cover like everyone is saying. my box was smothered with dust inside and the filter was brown.
