Basic information:
Here is some useful information for VT250F owners. This information relates to the english VT250F only (should look the same as mine in the picture above) but if you want to try it on your VT250 bike then you do so at your risk - don't come crying to me if it knackers you or your bike! Also, I am not a mechanic but I have it under very good authority and experience that these values are correct. Remember - if you are not sure about this then please don't do it. Phew - thats all that paranoid stuff out of the way, now on to the information (more Info will be added at later dates).
Please read the above before applying any of this information to your bike. There seems to be many different VT250 models out there so the values may be quite different for other models.
(By the way, if you know anything about the different types of VT250 models that Honda produced I would be really interested to know about it.)
