Re: RZ250 Rebuild!

And she’s home! 4 years and 2 months since purchase it’s all done! Bought her home this morning, did a couple of laps around the block after the rain and spent the arvo/evening giving her a proper detail and ceramic coat. Beyond stoked with the final result! https://i.imgur.com/sE3rHcl.jpg https://i...

Re: RZ250 Rebuild!

We're on the home stretch!
Blue slip sorted, and now just need to get to the RTA to register her and pick up the plates. Bring on the weekend for a ride and some more photos then :)

Re: RZ250 Rebuild!

Some good news!
Ordered a replacement (brand new aftermarket CDI) after discovering the replacement I purchased earlier was also dead and she lives!

Blue slip hopefully this week and then time to get her on the road!

Re: RZ250 Rebuild!

back to the start then... Do you have spark? If not then you need to trace the ignition system to find out where it fails to proceed. These are pretty simple bikes, if youve swapped lots of the ignition parts (CDI, stator, coil) already then its in the wiring or switches. make sure youre getting po...

Re: RZ250 Rebuild!

Still on struggle street, got the new ignition coil after spending an extra $60 on fedex and still no luck. Checked all switches, spark plugs, cdi and just won’t start.

All out of ideas now :(

Re: RZ250 Rebuild!

I assume when you kick it over there is a spark? if not its likely the kill switch circuit... Check all the connectors and make sure when ignition is on that the kill switch wiring isnt earthing. And... check the switches? check the ignition and the kill. Both can cause intermittent issues Thanks m...

No, it started, and then died and hasn’t started since.
Tested all elements stator, CDI and coil and all 3 seem to show a power reading, but not sure if the values are correct. Absolutely stumped now.

Re: RZ250 Rebuild!

Hi guys!
Been a while between posts. From being on its way to get a blue slip and the engine dying on the way, we’ve been chasing an electrical issue which has seen us replace the cdi and ignition coil but with no luck.

Does anyone know what the power/voltage output readings of the CDI should be?

Re: RZ250 Rebuild!

So close to completion now!
Bit of touch up to the rear fairing, ready for the grab rail, mirrors to go back on, finish off the windscreen and then off to get a blue slip.

Re: RZ250 Rebuild!

Time to get some colour on these fairings!
Pretty much last piece of the puzzle and then she’s off for a blue slip.

Re: RZ250 Rebuild!

Also, not sure how to post videos but we had the first start yesterday too. Need to sort the carbys as one is leaking, but she’s another step closer.

Re: RZ250 Rebuild!

Did you paint the wheels yourself or father in law. Only interested how you managed to get a good clean line between the black and polished edges. Did you just mask it up with tape? Not sure if there is a forum topic on how to achieve that look. The father in law had the fun job with that. But it w...
