Hi All My Rs250 And New To Me 748

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Michael Golding, Nov 1, 2021.

  1. Totally agree mate, i think ive had more fun on the smaller bikes ive owned, not saying big bikes aren’t great but these modern superbikes are abit pointless on the roads, especially in the uk

  5. Welcome Mate , excellent, nothing like a 2 stroke, the little Aprilia is gorgeous and nice to have in the garage, good on your dad for doing some restoration on that lovely TZ, beautiful things, I like the odd 2 stroke myself IMG_2337.jpg 044.JPG IMG_0289.JPG 2FD19C81-E23D-456B-90EB-308B13D1AED9.jpg

  6. Ref the plugs, personally if they aren't OE fitment I'd just run standard plugs. I've seen so many threads over the years of iridium plugs not providing as smooth idle or issues with lack of smoothness off idle that I would just run standard good quality NGK's. I would use Iridium if standard fit (like newer panigale's) or if I was doing prolonged track work. Just my opinion and mine only!
