I have had a tank touring 250de for several years now. A little over 8000 miles and all I have done is change the oil a couple times, tires, and replaced some cracked vacuum lines. What do you suggest for maintenance? Also, any mod ideas? Clutch maybe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly, I am a if it ain't broke, don't fix it guy myself.
After sitting a long while certainly change the oil and trans gear oil, you are probably due for some new tires, check the CVT belt and get a spare at least to have around, replacing hoses that are showing aging both fuel and vacuum, general safety check like taking a look at brake fluid and pads/shoes.

I have been accused of no style at all, thanks.

Rubber parts like hoses belts and tires have a life span of 3 to 5 years Rollers sho u l d be checked for ware and springs every few years will need to be replaced

I would think about lube (greasing it, the ports should be in the service manual, that should be available in a PDF).

Have any of you replaced the rollers or clutch springs with aftermarket? Better takeoff and more top speed. Are there kits available? Loving all the info!

The guys with smaller bikes tune the variator all the time, I have not heard much about people tuning the 250's variator, no reason it won't work. Changing the weight a gram lighter will let the motor rev higher and change the top end speed. Sliders usually work better than rollers.

On my Zuma 50f I replaced the rollers with Dr. Pulley sliders, but on my Hyosung 250 I haven't. It already has enough power and speed.

I would like another 5+ MPH on my JCL 257cc Linhai. Could I do a variater tweak to get it ? It goes about 62-68 mph with my big 260 lbs. 6'2 self on it now. Is that about all the engine will do anyway ? PS I know this an old thread.

You can probably get to that by replacing your exhaust with a performance exhaust and up jetting, if you go that route up jet incrementally. You can also put a 275cc kit on it and get there that way, also if you go with the exhaust and up jet you will need to do something with your intake like an K&N filter. Most of all have fun with it.

Was that always the top speed? Basic things like a good spark plug, making sure the belt is not worn down too much, tires are properly inflated. You can do a port and polish job on the head and pick up some power and as fly suggest a big bore kit. I forgot to mention a free flowing air filter.
