Any float-setting could/should be checked “wet”, with a bit of clear hose from bottom, open tap-screw just a half-turn, and see the inside level….
(engine may be cranked a few rounds just to fill the bowls)

Not bad, some minor scratches, some marks of improper tools…(like: vise-grip marks on axle-nut), been used in all-weather, never really cleaned under the plastic…
Marry her? – no, just another mistress, I guess. But with just enough GO to make longer trips tempting.

Ooooops, I did it again….Β π
my 125 found a new owner, and I found a 250… ~ 2012 – GT250R – efi.
Or maybe it is a 2011? Seems odd with the later tail, and older front.Β Only 7700km, but a bit more “everyday”-used.
And, ofcourse a money-drain… well, that is what winter is for.

Different specks on various sites… but I see it is an all new 60-degree V-engine, vs the older 75-degree…

Hmm…3 valves/cyl…Β Liquid-cooled, 6-sped-box, EFI? what else differs from the GT-engine? Is there a similar 250?

Check if it comes from a bad seal on fuel-outlet, or the level-sender, or a leak in the seams…

There is a ventilation/breather-hose connected on the underside of the tank, check if it also has been blocked…

Best way to measure, you can ofcourse use other tools.
But the manual-stated 7 mm, means floats on a “hard” stop. (Not the common way…).

The (above) “wet”-test is the best.Β Β The manual can be confusing, but the 7mm measurement is on “full/hard-stop”, – spring compressed.Β Most often (on other carbs) measurement is on “light-touch”.

These TITANIUM-bolts fits really good here..: (one original left for reference)
Also notice the O2/Lambda-boss, – for wide-band lambda, almost a “must” for checking/adjusting jets.

Thanks. Largest annoyance with the dressed bikes, is to undress for simplest tasks & service.
Undresses, but not shy:

When clip-ons gets too <<R>>, put on a “normal” handlebar. Was/is really looking for a even lower/flatter bar, but this works.
With “naked” GT clutch-wire, & extended brake-hose.
@ MARCEL: You will need to get “naked” GT throttle-wire in the shop…
