Tri Z help???

[phantombiker]

Well fellas, it looks like i finally get to buy my first 3 wheeler!!!! It's a tri z 250 which runs, but it needs a kicker. Have to pop start it. No head light and plastics are kinda rough. Plastic missing over tank/airbox???? And a chunk missing off the rear. also needs a front tire. How much you ask???? 300 beans!!! sounds like a deal to me, considering it runs and drives. My question...if i need help with parts, working on it, or technical questions, would y'all help a bruthuh out??? Thanks for reading.

Well were not gonna let you starve to death... sounds like a 85 tri-z 38w you will notice on the motor. the 10th digit in the vin will be a F...$300 is a good deal .. but I'm shure needs Help.. start with the obvious first.. put it up on a stand check wheel bearings, axle, swing arm pivot.. chain, sprockets,, most over looked cables!,,,, does it have a stock throttle cable?

Thx!!! Was getting hungry...lol To start, what is 38w? I just know how to drive them. I'm somewhat mechanically inclined, but not enough to work on them. Never been thru a 2 stroke. checking bearings, no prob. 2nd, what will the 10th vin letter tell me?? It's gonna nickel and dime me, but i couldnt pass it up. Who do i ask for parts?? Also, you gonna have Raffa's ice fest again??? Love the after threads!!!

The best place to look for parts would be ebay and the classifieds section.

I've bought quite a few from both.
