Title: Interesting CZs
Post by: JC on June 02, 2009, 10:25:40 am: Does anybody know anything about the 250 type 997 in the pic below? Or have better pics?

Post by: shortshifter on June 02, 2009, 12:17:12 pm: JC I'm thinkin that catalogue may be from around 1980,and pretty interesting because it looks like Japanese.I've got a mate with a 513 model from 1990 which looks almost exactly the same except for the tank.I dont think a lot changed in the engine dept with these late models,but"modern" touches such as high pipe and long travel suspension are incorporated.Some of the US guys are still selling new ones on their websites.

Post by: JC on July 01, 2009, 09:50:57 am: Bull,

The 988 had a wide ratio g'box w a rather large gap between 1st & 2nd, which wasn't helped by very tall gearing & the 'asmatic' pipe. Std c'shaft sproket was 18 or 19T.

However top 4 gears were much closer spaced. I suggest you gear it down considerably & use (mostly) the top 4 gears on the track. Probably need a bigger carb too, & obviously a better pipe.
