2008 TE250 reliable and easy to maintain?

[1200GS]

Really good information, thank you gentelmen.

[weantright]

BTW I have a JD tuner box left over from my 310. If it's not to hard to ship over and you're interested,  PM me.

[1200GS]

I woukd need that if I went to a 310? I dont plwn to mod quite yet but ill keep you in mind. I wont even reveive the bike till November. ..2 months at sea, the bike will be... lol

[1200GS]

Over the winter I'll get all this stuff done. .. so on the rad hoses...is there a 2010 kit for all of them? And on the crossover what size is that line..everything 'custom' will need to be sourced from the US or ill have to increase my Korean language skills more... just finding some clear plastic tubing was a pain in the ass once...

 I'll have to check on the crossover hose. I think it was 1/2" or 3/8" I.D. and only a few inches long.

2010 TC 250 radiator hose is a single piece octopus looking thing. This is the cheapest fix for  the "T" in the cooling system. "T" is located on the left of the bike behind the radiator. The "best fix" for the "T" (cheap plastic fitting) is the "Y" (aluminum) from Uptite Racing.  It'll all make sense once you see the bike.

Yeah and I have plenty of time for that like I said I probably won't see it until November thank you and I'll be back with you as soon as I get the bike

JD tuner works on the 250 as well and gives more power everywhere on a stock bike. If the bike been programmed via IBeat from the dealer or previous owner then not much will change.

Uptite doesn't make the Y anymore. The cross over hose is not needed if you do the "Y" or TC kit but replacing the clamps with real hose clamps helps.

Dude you're overloading my brain lol...I wi have to see it to understand some of this...and ill look into the jd tuner.

[1200GS]

Btw...lota of people talk about a power up kit...I need to figure out what that is...

[weantright]

Power up kit for that year was an arrow slip on muffler and the o2 eliminator. This would put the ECU into "race" mode. In addition you need to remove the throttle stop and set the tps via IBeat.

On some bikes the fuel pump would move and disconnect the power and incorrect low fuel readings. To fix remove the pump from the tank and add extra Ty wrap. Go to cafehusky.com for complete info. Easy to do but not all bikes had this problem.

[1200GS]

I looked at the full display of the bike that there's no light that would say race but the owner says that it was reflashed by the dealer I wonder if that's all that's required for to be in race mode

[weantright]

To find out if it is in race mode. The O2 sensor is removed and a plug is in its place on the mid pipe. Later years the gauge would flash something on start-up.

[1200GS]

Easy then the owner thinks it was flashed...ill figure it all out once it gets here...
