There is very little information available for these little bikes, the intent of this thread is to change that. 4 months of internet search has turned up nothing for a service manual or owners manual. The power plant for the CBX is derived from the XL250R. Kickstart and decomp delete and...

The CBX250 was originally introduced in the UK in 1984 as the CBX250RS, it featured DOHC RFVC 31 HP electric start single, breathing through dual carbs and exhaust. It arrived in Australia in 1985 as the CBX250F in updated bodywork, a SOHC RFVC single making 26 HP, dual carburetors and 2...

I took the M1 rider training course this summer with my wife, every rider in our group on that bike struggled - the forward foot controls just aren't natural.

Thanks for that, got that tidbit of crap from a customer of mine (Matrix owner) who indicated later model engines were not built by Toyota. Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see.

TV - Greatest Tank Battles on Discovery - repetition at every commercial break, but real WW2 battles as described by vets who saw it first hand, axis and allies. Movies - Black Hawk Down, Letters from Iwa Jima, Hamburger Hill...

And that's exactly what happened. The lady at the counter said, 'no problem' and put it through right away. Greatfully it's registered in my name, sadly it's as unfit - needs some work for safety. Apparently they won't provide a temp plate once a vehicle is registered as unfit? Not a big...

I believe the Matrix has a 3rd party drivetrain - IE not Toyota?

Life gets in the way sometimes. I bought a bike in September, and have been on and off sick since. I have the UVIP from the seller, unfortunately it's quite a drive to meet up with him to have him sign another. What kind of heartache can I expect at Service Canada?

I'm not pleased with the outcome of this accident, it's god awful and I'm sure everyone (including the officer) involved feels the same way. However. Doesn't the fault in an intersection accident where there is a left hand turn involved generally fall on the person making the left? A friend...

For a bike as new as a Ninja 300, you might want to have a Ninja 300 enthusiast look at it for you as well as a mechanic for the certification process. Aside from what the aftermarket buzz and salesmen say, the closer it is to original the more value it will have. Having someone on hand who...

The Forester hands down.

I wouldn't sweat the price of fuel that much, it's not a metric in the cost of inflation. Said no one ever who has a family to feed.

I Quit smoking years ago, when I did smoke (and every day after) I've always found the entrance to Walmart disgusting. People who couldn't even get to their car before lighting up. I guess part of that is to escape the trap of lighting up in the car in front of their kids. Non the less, still...

I've had a full set Bridgestone Blizzaks, and they were good on a Honda Civic. Later I had a full set of Coopers (for a lot less money) on a later generation Civic and they were as far as I could tell, just as good. Therefor IMHO the Coopers should be at the top as well. Last year through the...

From Tire Rack. It's like taking product quality advice from the guy who's trying to sell you something. I'm certain that margins don't play into there recommendations at all.

Dunn Tire in Buffalo. Call ahead with your wants and they'll help you pick out what you need. Coopers by the way, you need Coopers.

Korean All Balls bearings, not chinese. Every kit I've bought has had KBC bearings inside. http://www.berliss.com/p/kbc-bearings

And to think if you did not have that loud exhaust none of this inconvenience would have occurred.

Awkward.

Our girl's school sends notices home about head lice at least every other month. Tea Tree oil and braids has kept lice out of our home. I was the smallest of 4, so I did all the channel changing. Can't recall even one student who had an allergy of any kind (small village, farming area)...
