Kawi 250r race setup recommendations

OK, I've been to the kawi forums but you have to wade thru so much stupid street stuff that it's not worth the effort.
I hope in this thread all 2-fiddy racers can give and receive recommendations for exhausts, jetting, tires, suspension, gearing, and any mods essential to being competitive in the new 'E' class.
Most helpful would be for the west coast folks that have experience in this class, to begin the discourse by telling what works and what works better.
I'll fire the first shot: who makes a bolt-on damper for the 08-09?

 

Morris a guy posted a pic last week, he took a stock zx10 damper and fit it on the 2 fiddy. i dont think anyone makes a bolt on deal yet

 

stones 090
Area P
Race Tech springs
Factory Jet kit
Woodcraft rearsets
Hott Bodies
Cycle Brakes #805-671-5010
Front brake line part# FK003D674-1
Pads # FD117G1370 HH
Works has front springs too I think they are cheaper

 

Just a matter of time I bet.

 

I'd never heard of Area P til I looked on the Kawi forums. Is that the most hp pipe out there? I've seen a full Yosh system for 4 something.

 

:up:

 

Us West Coast (AFM) folks aren't required to use dampers. How's that?

For the record, the vast majority of us left coast peeps have prior-gen bikes. These newfangled hi-zoot models are scurry.

edit: For 1988-2007, Rick Cramer #219 has a great list with part numbers and pics: http://www.rcramer.com/bikes/ex250/index.shtml

Guess I thing about the Willow folks running the 08s.

 

I agree, this class seems to be taking off.

 

Hey!!!!! That looks famliar

Area P and Yosh put out about the same. Go with what ever you can find cheaper.

 

of course i sold my 03, this past summer!! It would've been fun to do a track day on a nicely setup 250 :up:

 

M4 System!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Support those that support the sport......

 

What's a full M4 going for? Yosh has been pretty good to me thru the years.

 

Sorry dont remember off the top of my head....give Kyle a call at
1-972-481-9300 or there are many people on here that carry M4 products....

 

I put up a bunch of hi-res images tonight of a nekkid 2001. It might help if you guys are trying to figure out safety wiring, catch can placement and other stuff.

Note: Yes, I'm aware some of the safety wiring is crap. The pictures were taken in 2003.

(should this be in the tech forum?)

 

Nice site!:up:

 

I get an error saying it's a private page and I don't have the permission to view it.

 

Jim, I get the same thing as old slow guy.....cant get in to view....

 

Crap. I think you might have to have an account (free, but...) to view them. I'll figure it out out...
