Hi, nice to know another nsr would be running around the plains of africa ( you know some foreigners think our lions and elephants run freely in our roads)
where about are you from?

Hi,I'm from Port Elizabeth,nsr250s is a starving out in S A,unlike our lions,lol.from where are you,and do uyou also own a nsr250

From Amanzimtoti, got myself a mc18 not long ago, seems to B a couple on sale around the country the last while, maybe 7 or so, in general I don't see a lot of 2 strokes on the roads, couple of 125's still gets me exited, cheers.

Aldo Scribante is one of my favourite tracks .
Make sure that your battery is at least 12 volts or else it will cause electrical problems .

Scribante is a nice track,often go there to watch legal drags.so I stripped down carbs(filthy as hell)vleaned them properly,polished clutch bucket with autosol,a general electrician is attempting to resolder the joints in the cdi.thus giving me tine to clean the bike.want to know from you guys what is the mc16 weakspots to watch out for,it has 38000 km on the clock and has never been opened,some say they have bad cranks,anything else?yes indeed,2strokes are a rare find in SA,some 125s running around,but mostly the import crap that's flooding the market,a nice old 2stroke is something 2have these days.please inform me on weakspots on these 2strokes,much appreciated

There is one for sale on gumtree . As long as you run your bike on good oils , check everything when it needs inspection , then it should give you good service .
