1986 Honda 250sx - $1000 - Should I pull the trigger??

[atc350xer]

BANG BANG!! Pull that trigger!

[fabiodriven]

It does look great and I say do it, but why are the Trailpros on there? If the thing hasn't been ridden that much, why have the rear tires been replaced?

Im not far from toronto ...i'll buy it. give me his info if you dont want it

[Dirtcrasher]

It's nice but why the TrailPro's??

If I didn't have 5- 250sx's already, It would be in my garage. I've been watching that ad for a while now. I guess the mto is really pushing him now, lol. It would be prefect for your fathers house! Let your wife ride the beat up sx until she gets use to the trike. Make sure you bring it when we do the Ganny's ride for James's motor break in . That way we'll have at least 3 sx's there.

do it bud, that is a nice trike for 1k, that would be one sweet bike to tear around on eh.

scoop it up

Hey guys, are s good tires? i havea pair on my 200s & there pretty good, excellent grip, a bit bulky & a stiffer ride but they kick ass in the mud. Is it truth that a last for a long time?

[tri again]

So here's the deal... an '86 250sx has been posted in my local classifieds for over a month. The seller originally wanted $2000 for it but was willing to take $1800 - he obviously didn't get any bites.

He contacted me via email on Monday saying "today is a good day for a sacrifice sale" and said he was willing to take $1050 for it if I show up with cash ASAP. I really don't need another ATC, but am considering selling 1 or 2 of mine to pay for this one since it appears to be in such great shape (and has an interesting history if I am to believe the seller).

Attached are some pictures and quotes from the seller... this has been bugging me for the past 3 nights and I need a push in ONE directon or another... I obviously can't seem to make up my mind on my own!

Should I run to the bank tonight, or forget about it... what do you guys think?

wrench it
take a 17 mm to the finaldrive fill plug .
and make sure theres 80wt in

it only hold 3 THREE onces and one oz looks like its full

Offer to change the oil for free and see what comes out.

see it the shifter wants to be stripped and make sure the choke actually works

they are a *(*(^&%$ if they are stuck and cause new carb syndrome if the need to be driled out

other than that...

JUMP!

I disagree on "new cab syndrome" w/ the SX choke. They DO lock up, but all it takes most of the time is a lil patience/lube to get it unstuck.

Thanks again for the tips and advice guys... just got back from picking it up.

It's not QUITE as pristine as he implied, but it's close. I'll try to post some more pictures tomorrow after work.

Congrats on the trike, you got a good deal. I paid 800 for my 86 but its not near as nice, put in another 350+ and almost there. You've got some nice trikes already, which one do you like best?

Thanks! I haven't had a chance to ride the 350x since buying it, but my favourite is probably still my 250r.

This '86 250sx seems to have difficulty cold starting... My '85 starts right up cold... just give it full choke and one kick (or one press of electric start) and it purrs like a kitten.

The '86 I picked up last night starts up beautifully once it's warm, but when cold no amount of choke seems to help. Takes a LOT of cranking before it finally starts up, so I'll have to figure out what's causing that problem...
