Finally scored a 250sx!!! (updated)

[jrwebb8324]

Well after 2 years of looking around my area for one i finally bought my first 250sx. It is a 86 model, but needs a lot of tlc. Motor sounds great but the rearend has a issue. Any thoughts on it would be helpful. I gave 400.00 for it but it also come with a 81 atc200 in great shape, and a 84 big red in decent shape. Both run though. Thanks for any thought on the sx rearend.

I ended up using the rearend out of the parts 86 BR on this SX. worked like a charm. Cleaned out the carb and now is running like a new one. This thing is a blast to ride. Thanks for the advice everyone.

That that stared me away from that was the rear end is locked up He had a 84 big red too didnt he

[jrwebb8324]

No the rearend not locked up. the trike still pulls its own weight but has a noise in the rearend.

I was told locked up nice 250sx allways like the 86 with white tank and headlight good deal

Good score for all three. Lets see the others.

the diff is making noise? or a bearing noise? does the diff make a clicking noise? if you need a diff they are easy to find anywhere from $50 -$200 will score you a good one depending how lucky you are on the price,

[jrwebb8324]

yeah its making a clicking type noise. will the rearend out of a 86 BR work on it?

[brapp]

the diff itself will work swingarms and axles wont

NICE!!!! keep that sx! I have 1 and have found them to be a very dependable trike and worth every penny! BTW, if u need a BR diff. I got 1 I'll sell to ya! its' out of an '85 BR, if you want it shoot me a P.M.

[harryredtrike]

hey, i was just wondering how you tell the difference between bearing noise and in the diff, if i roll my bike forward it makes a clicking sound, or if i tap the throttle and the front tire comes up, it makes the noise when the front tire lands again, not too sure what this could be? any advice greatly appreciated pm mee...

I Have a 85sx with only cosmetic problems. When we bought it tho we heard a lot of noises but it turned out to be the brakes were staying locked. It still hasent been fixed because I learned with no brakes so I just gear down to stop. Makes a nice parking break tho.
