finally i have a new addition to the family an 85 250R :w00t:
call me crazy but i paid $850.00 for it and a good condition extra rear shock
the bike is missing the head light,tool box,tail light,the long middle front motor mount bolt ,rear brake lever and linkage,kill switch, rectifier.
it has a twist throttle and newer aluminum handle bars. every thing else seems to be stock.
It does run after a couple of kicks seems to have decent compression ,but I havent as of yet done a compression or leak down test on it .
The head leaks coolant and it has tranny problems so needless to say the cases will be split and every bearing,seal and whatever else will be replaced.
I havent as of yet ridden it to diognose the tranny problem I will ride it at the end of December when I get it home where I have a place to ride it.
pictures coming later this after noon.
OOps almost forgot the KEI-HIN flatslide carb.
So even with the transmission problems was it worth it ????
