Couple things in this thread so I'll start with the easy one.
I have a 1985 350X and a 1985 250R. The both have a different type of chain adjusment than what I'm used to. What is the proper tool for this? The 250R hasn't ran in a few years and I think last time I did it I used the shock tool for my 450R which I no longer have. I have never tightend the chain on the 350X and it needs it.
Next thing is kind of an ebay rant, this is the majorly condensed version. I sold my 250R stator so I bought a new one on ebay. That is the last peice I need to start the bike. Well I got it yesterday and the plugs are cut off! This was not mentioned and the auction does show one plug, the others are hidden! When I asked the seller he said the dealer cut it off when testing it and it's not big deal just buy a new plug or use my old one. He said a new plug is $5. Well I dont have old plugs and the plug is not available anyway and I still wouldn't want wire repairs on the bike because it's super nice and I'd like to keep it that way. The seller also says all the 250R's have different plus anyway so they always have to be changed. I just filed the paypal claim. The picture shows a plug, I did not get a plug. Hopefully it's cut and dry since I cleary did not receive what was pictured and the seller admits it.
My next thought is maybe a new stator. Does Honda still make the stator? If so does anyone have the part number so I can check Service Honda or does anyone know the price or have a used one to sell me? I'm going to have to buy another before I get my money back since money will take awhile to get back and that's all I need to start it.
