Suzuki GZ250 Comments Please?? - Page 2 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

My '05 GZ250 had no limiter to 75mph.

After I changed the exhaust I had it up to 85mph on I-95 south between Richmond and Stony Creek, so I was running 80mph +/- 5mph, but I think I was on a verly long slope downhill with the wind behind me. LOL

As for a windshield, I used a National Cycle Plexifairing 3 and even though it said it was not made to fit it, it fit pretty well. It was no perfect, but it fit and did a great job.

That was my first bike which I sold a couple weeks ago; it was great to learn on, but I'm glad I have a bigger one now.

Faxxxy!

Nah, your wrong. The bike is not rev limmited to 75.
I have a speeding ticket that I just got for going 80 on the highway. 85Mph is all these little bikes really can push anyway.

But hey, Id like to see some of those mod pics.

The Spitfire windshield is inexpensive, easy to install, and works well. check on ebay:

Since we are on the topic of gz250s, what the average life expectancy of the front brake pads? I seem to only average about 4k (basically an oil change) before my front pads need replacing. I find this odd...

4K? Not sure on the GZ250, but mine go from 7-10K on the intruder 800. You could try slowing down more with throttle and/or engine control instead of brakes and see if that extends them significantly.
