June 20, 20206 yr Hi all finally got my self a rev 3 250 again it's a 2008 modle , what is the difference between the 07 and 08 , I did have a 2005 modle 5 years ago and wished I had not sold it , but I'm wondering how different the 08 is to the 05 and can some one remind me the oil mix ratio , if I remember it was 70/1 . And if there are any bugs to watch out for i do remember the clutch would drag antill it was warm . Any help is well appreciated.
June 20, 20206 yr The 07-08 had a slightly different frame to the earlier Rev3s. The main spar/tank is smaller. I’m unsure of any engine changes. Probably nothing you’d notice anyway. All the usual Beta issues, eroding cases near the water pump. Especially if you don’t use propylene glycol coolant. Electrical system dodgyness. On my 08 the ground for the electrical system was a lug captive behind the headlight mount. Extremely bad idea. If yours is still connected that way find the main ground junction in the wiring harness and run a separate ground wire to a hard ground on the frame. I added two, one to the regulator stud and one to the ignition coil mount. I always ran 80:1 oil with racing fuel. It’s a good bike with a few mods. Almost forgot to mention bold new graphics.?
