You won't find a 250R in "good" condition for $2500. Realistically for that price you should be looking for a pre-gen. Budget for a 08-12 should be 3000-3500, and don't believe the bs people tell you about rashed up fairings that can be replaced for $200 or whatever. Chinese ebay fenders don't...

Thats cars But ya, if you have material left, the brakes aren't pulsating or doing anything strange, short of disassembling, cleaning and lubing the calliper, I wouldn't worry about it

Wow I wouldn't be able to sleep with an unplugged connector, OCD I guess

Measure fork height prior to removing them, then set to that number, tighten the pinch bolts, install axle loosely, lower the front wheel to the ground and pump the forks up and down, then tighten the axle and everything else.

No, chains don't stretch, they wear. Do you know how much force is on a chain when you're accelerating, maybe not on a 250 but you get the idea.

Your chain is too tight, less then 25 mm of play is not enough

I'd be down, I ride around there mostly, post time details

They're fine, as long as they're adjusted properly

+1, I started on a 250r, did 13k on that for my first season before moving up to a zx6r. Gotta say I completely agree with the holy ***** moments I had during the first few weeks. Having instincts of counter steering, target fixation and smooth isolated braking saved my life for sure. I remember...
