The VTR250 is one of the funnest bikes to ride - an excellent first bike
and and excellent budget racer. It's relatively mild state of tune just begs for
a bit of "tweaking". One of the smoothest bikes around when at full tilt.
The Carb Recal Kit perks up the
low-end and midrange power and improves response for quicker warm-up and more response.
Jerry Einstandig really likes his
restored VTR with its modified airbox.
This Factory Pro Carb
Recal Kit, when properly tuned, adds more low-end / midrange and if the
proper main jet is selected, more top-end power. Works with stock and aftermarket
exhaust systems as there is a selection of main jets supplied, along with
suggested settings for initial installation.
Easy to install and tune - no slide drilling -
If you have a different brand of jet kit, this will help you dial your bike
in better -

of electronic components to the MC industry in the world.
~$3.00

Denso (ND,
Nippon Denso) is the largest OEM supplier for autos and motorcycles of electrical
components in the world. Sometimes, people forget that Denso makes pretty
darn good spark plugs, too! Wide heat range properties discourage plug fouling
at low speed AND overheating at high speed.
We have been using Denso spark plugs in our AMA Supersport bikes since Denso
was Nippon Denso and ND. We have found that some standard, <$10, off the
shelf, Denso spark plugs work as well as $125 special spark plugs - on a
professional roadrace level!
Codes:
X = 12mm thread with 18mm spark plug wrench
required
24 = Heat range. (Hint - it is ~3x NGK #. I.E.
an "8" heat range in NGK)
E = 3/4" reach
P = Projected tip type plug
R = Resister type internal construction
Z = Thin platinum center electrode w/ tapered
ground (side) electrode
U = "U Groove" side electrode for better spark
and finally..
9 = is "pregapped" at .9mm (You should check
any "pregapped" plug before you install it..)
Include your name, city, bike year and any other
information that you would like to supply for background information.

The 1988 and 1989 model vtr250 were
equipped with Honda's zooty inside out Inboard Disc arrangement. VERY
unique!
Later models reverted to standard disc brake setup.

The Military Vehicle
Technology Foundation was founded by the late Jacques Littlefield. It
is located in Portola Valley, just south of San Francisco.
The Military Vehicle
Technology Foundation oversees one of the largest and most significant
collections of historical military vehicles in the world. Our goal is
to acquire, restore, and interpret the historical significance of 20th
and 21st century military vehicles. Domestic and foreign combat vehicles
such as tanks, armored cars, self-propelled artillery, and other technically
interesting mobile platforms are the focus of the collection. We also
maintain an extensive technical library that describes many vehicles
down to the part level. Aside from the vehicles, there are towed artillery,
antitank, and antiaircraft guns. Military support equipment, inert ordnance,
and accessories round out the collection.
There are over 200 vehicles in the Foundation's collection, many of
them exceedingly rare. The updated site will have greatly increased
content and information on the collection, as well as information on
how to book tours or arrange access for commercial purposes.

The extension of the laboratory
for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed
in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940).
He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after
the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar
to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal
use but well preserved.
