Thats a great deal. I bought my 225dx for $100 too.

[mean350]

yeh the one i am buying is complete and runs. it does need a PULLSTart for it though

[mean350]

i just got back. it it a 84225dx. runs but needs pull starter. i think it nedes axle bearings too.100 bucks for that. he also has a atc70. it starts on firsty pull and needs rear fenders. he said 250 for both. i think i am going to trade him my 74 honda cb 750 i got for free off of my neighbor. it needs restored. thibnk it is a good deal? going to atleast get the 225 tomorrow.

[mean350]

[mean350]

[Russell 350X]

Not a bad deal at all, little bit of TLC that DX could look awsome.

[mean350]

i al;ready got a seat that is like brand new, a set of like new yellow rear fenders. how hard is it to put axle bearings in the dx. it is an 84. ill post some pics when i get the fenders and seat on. the atc 70 is an 78 i think. the tag says 78 but on the serial no. the last 2 digits are 73. so what yr is it. i need a set of plastics for it.

[mean350]

on the 70s carb i lost my idle adjustmend screw. will a 110 screw fit in it. i also have a suzuki lt 8o . think that will fit? i doubt i can buy them brand new now.
i am going to popst more pics of the dx tomorrow. i put the new plastics and seat on a little while ago.

To change the axle bearings, its easy if you have a press to get the axle out. The seem to lock up in there over the years and dont want to budge no matter how hard you hit them.

[mean350]

what do i need a press for? the axle still moves and everything.

[Yamahauler]

Yea, the splines on the axle seize together, the axle will still turn and everything but where the diff splines onto it gets frozen up with rust.

I think the easiest way to do it is to take the whole rear end off and have a shop press it out, it takes about 10 seconds on the press. or you can do what swiney said and pound the hell outa it, both ways work ;) Good luck!

[mean350]

do i have to take aprt the rear end to get to the bearings ? to me i just think i am going to have to slide the axle out and put the new bearings in without tremoving the rear end.

[Yamahauler]

Yea, you can just take out the axle to put the new bearings in. You dont have to take the whole rear end apart unless you want to put it on a press to get the axle out.

You might as well try banging the axle out first, make sure you put some wood between the hammer and the axle.
