Thanks. Gives me confidence pulling mine apart. New rs owner here. Had quite a bit of experience with maintenance on my rsv and zundapp. But never had this sort of motor
Question .. can you port match those power valves to be completely flush when fully open? Would it actually help flow more exhaust on full throttle therefor more power?
I surpose you don't have a video of the cover off the splitter Box when doing the grey wire test?... I'm just wondering how much the power valve motor moves the oil pump cable
Nice video.... For people that don’t really know much... Having owned and raced a 95 and 96 brand new (two bikes in my pit and home garage), which I had stripped down completely with my racing team manager, you are very close in what you say by trial and error. I could add more, but the main thing is for this now (prehistoric) bikes that are still miles ahead of any modern 250 or 400 cc 4 stroke. Hi he main thing is when you are at full revs, top speed, to be careful as any abrupt stop of fuel delivery means the same in lubrication. Meaning they will seize!! Trust me as I had the wrong sprockets in both of my bikes at all the world superbikes at PI in 96 and down Gardner straight hit top revs/speed before I was due and both seized! An expensive learning curve which cost me a night of zero sleep rebuilding basically 2 brand new bikes! 😜
@@herobo123456 It was on a race track so it doesn’t really apply in the real world. Philip Island (Australia) has a very long straight. If you hit the “rev limiter” before you should then the sprockets on your bike are incorrect. It doesn’t matter at all when riding as the factory sets it up to cover almost everything! Racing is a different story, especially with two-stroke engines. If you reach max rpm in top gear, with some track still in front of you before you sit up and roll of the throttle then you are also taking away the lubrication for a two-stroke and the engine can potentially seeze! Four- stroke engines are completely different. I hope this helps.
@@marcusgeorge1825 thanks Marcus Im lucky to own a 1996 and 2002 RS250 ! but only do a few track days on the 1996. I do know a bit but its interesting to hear from others
been struggling finding info about my RG125F ones, the manual is terrible. Two separate sections on it but neither go into the detail that the mystery third section does which I found in the...yes that's right..ENGINE REMOUNTING section LMAO. I too had an odd one in mine, how bizarre is that, who does this shit? You will be losing considerable power from them being uneven I'm pretty sure, along with them not being blended to the port when fully open as well...
Nice video 👍👍👍. You made me understand about how does AETC work just in 6 minutes.
Excellent clear video of a simple part on the RS250...but only simple if you paid attention when taking apart! Thank you for this video.
Cheers for the video, it makes it a lot clearer than the workshop manual.

Nice video mate. I check mine every 6 months just to be sure. Love the bike.

Nice work, must be a big Schwantz fan, looks good
nice bike and thanks for going to the trouble . i pick my first rgv up next week and it happens to be a t also
awesome video
nice workshop, that yr washouse lol! cheers for the helpful vid!!
At 4.01 you talk about doing another video on pulley adjustment. Did you ever do this?
good vid

Thanks so much for sharing. 😉👌🏻

Can you explain a bit more you hit top speed before you were supposed to what was the gearing too low can you elaborate thanks

Great vid thanks! I recently purchase a VJ22. How did you go with the Zeeltronic ??
