    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    Makka Dont be too gentle with it. The main this i was concious about was not sustaining a high rev range for too long in the first 20 hours or do. I dont really think it even took that long to run in. The manual said after 30 hours the bore & piston will be properly settled. just needs that...

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    Hey Makka The bike is going greatguns, took it out yesterday, about 5 hours of pretty hard riding. Aside from dropping it and ripping the end of the right grip its good. Am planning on posting some up to date pics, the stickers have peeled of one side so am going to clean that up and get some...

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    Hi Brood Yes the rear brake pedal is crap. theres no shim holding the bolt in so you have to check if often. also keep an eye on the throttle assemly screws - you will lose them if you dont locktite them. I finaly got a joker throttle off the net and installed it on Sun, much better quality if...

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    Just had a new red joker throttle and a set of pro tapers installed on Sunday. The bike is going in for a service this afternoon, going to get barkbusters chucked on it while it is in there! If anyone else has bought one of these I would love to hear how your crossfire is going

    Partsmonster is a good site for stuff like inline filters and other bits and pieces, pretty cheap too!

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    Will keep that in mind. I wouldnt mind a little bit more power. Also when Im going flat out it seems like it needs an extra gear. I am always shifting up expecting to have one more gear to go. I think the L4 engine has 6 gears as opposed to 5. I should be changing the throttle assembly and...

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    How much an increase would I look at getting from replacing the carby? I was thinking of upgrading the jets, but not replacing it. would there be much of a difference? I hate messing with carbies. I have an old 84 XT 250 that I rebuilt, spent hours tuning carby and I hated every minute of it...

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    Sure At first I am going to focus on improving the cheap & nasty aspects of the bike, namely: After Market Battery Bark Busters, Better Quality Grips and a heavy duty aluminium Joker Throttle (the plastic one is cheap and already has a small crack starting due to a missing screw) Was...

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    Have attached some pics of the kickstarter and sticker peel (which isnt too bad). See how close the kicker is to the brake lever and the foot peg! I think they were all stoned when they designed it. It is a good bike for the price and if you dont mind tinkering and being thourough when...

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    Viper Thanks for the info mate. I'll have a look into that Kickstarter, nice! And a crf sticker kit could be the go!, would also look pretty good without the stickers, just straight black! Rivvs Yes it will be easier once its properly run in, but the crap angle will ensure that even...

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    A bit more on the Kickstarter Issue Went to ride today, lo and behold the battery was up to its usual tricks again. I decided to give the kicker a try, so i put it back on. 15 minutes and a dead leg later I decided to roll start it. They are impossible to start from cold (or maybe im just...

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    Yea it has a pretty nice note on it, its a shame about the stickers peeling so soon, every ride some parts peel off a bit more

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    Picked mine up for 2590, and no I dont think they are ADR compliant There is no compliance stamp that I can see anywhere on the bike, just a generic one with the bikes Make and serial number stamped on it

    Crossfire 250 XZR Review

    5. STICKERS The stickers seem slightly too large for the plastics and overhang and are already starting to peel off 6. THROTTLE The bike comes with a 1/4 turn joker throttle. I like these throttles but would rather get an aftermarket one (pref. an alluminium one) to replace the stock one...
