what to look for in a watercooled R?

[Jim mac]

if I were to look at buying one
cracked left case, bearings, anything else to keep a eye on?

The 250r achilleas heal is the cracked case from chain bind. over all I think there very solid machines and well built. Anything can wear out but know issues that's the biggest.

everything, its 40 years old. Do no expect to kick it over and go ride 30 miles from your truck. REDO full machine only way to ride these things now days
