well, I sold my 86 250SX for $750 last spring. I just stumbled upon another one and snatched it up. This one I believe is an 85 (has no paperwork with it) and haven't even looked at the sticker on the frame yet to verify. But, red tank, black seat. It runs and drives, reverse works, needs brake work and a battery, but pretty much everything except the tail light and right brake lever/perch is there. Actually got it with a bunch of other "divorce sale" stuff, 33 gal craftsman air compressor 1 year old, stihl FS45 weed eater used a handful of times, Husky power washer brand new, craftsman 6" miter saw on stand, black and decker floor sander, and a husky bag full of tools, and the wheeler for $420. Couldn't pass that up!!!
I took it apart last night and cleaned the carb, replaced the fuel line, cleaned the air filter, tried charging the battery but it's junk. Rode it today, then got after the brakes tonight. I need the front brake perch/lever assembly, rear brake shoes and springs, right rear wheel bearings and seal, rear brake hand lever cable, one of the adjuster wing nuts/barrels and spring, and a right rear hub (splines are almost non-existent). Question is, what do you guys do for your parts? Just ebay everything little by little, or is there a reasonably priced online store that I could probably get everything without paying an arm and a leg for? Thanks!
I'll get better pics when it's cleaned up a bit and it's daylight. And now photobucket is being stupid and that damn ad they play that says "video interaction will not interrupt your upload" is killing my upload.
Here we go, had to shrink it way down:
