Honda VTR250 89-90
Factory Pro Series "H15"


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.

Spark plugs

Denso Spark Plugs


U24FER-9 Original equipment
Standard replacement plug from the largest supplier of electronic components to the MC industry in the world.
~$3.00
U24FE-ZU9  Upgrade spark plug
Premium, Platinum, U Groove spark plug.
It is recommended to start a tuning session with new spark plugs.
~$7.00
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..)

1989 vtr250

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.

Northern California's most unforgettable flying experience.  No experience required.  Open weekends!

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.     To arrange and schedule a Tour.
 

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.
